We loved the pool location! And beach access!Property was clean. Not updated for a while and patio door handle broken. An old grill on patio. Coffee table has a small crack. Other than that we had an awesome time!
Perfect location and very comfortable! Wild dolphins came up to us while swimming short distance from beach. The pool is right outside and was never crowded.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It was easy access to beach. But the house upper level AC is terrible. One of the room has no AC n the bunk bed mattress felt horrible to sleep on. Not enough toilet paper was provided for family of 9.
We enjoyed our week of vacation at #67 South Bay by the Gulf. The house was very nice (pictures are accurate). The beach was a short walk from the house. We had a wonderful time on the private beach. Since we were there off season there were no crowds, the water was still warm enough to swim in. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the review. We will take a look at the vents in the condo. The cleaning crew does a tremendous job at this unit and we inspect before every arrival to ensure it's perfect for each guest.
Our family, plus Nana (5 people) really had a great experience in this property. Steps from the private beach access, and Taylor the beach attendant was wonderful! The pools were clean and the property was beautifully maintained. The condo it’s self was perfect and fully furnished for our stay. Plenty of space! Loved the patio for outdoor lounging. Everything was super simple and very easily accessible. Awesome trip!
Location and communication was great. Needs updating. Bathroom upstairs didnt latch or lock, drain stuck down in tub, small upstairs bedroom was warm for the kids. Bugs inside but notified owner and were out to spray within hours

Thanks for the review. We agree the location is great and we also work hard to make sure are communication with each guest is top notch. We are available 24/7 and will assist our guests with any issues that may come up. Thanks again for staying with us.
The property is absolutely beautiful with a lake and pool right outside your door! It's a short walk to the beach super easy with having kids. The condo overall was very nice. It could use some deep spring cleaning but it had everything you would need! The owners were easy to reach and responded quickly. The bedroom upstairs with bunk beds does not have a TV or air conditioner so it is a little stuffy and the second bedroom does not have a smart TV so it could benefit from some upgrades. I'd love to stay here again. It was such a great location & the pool is 5 steps away!
