Fall Break Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location on the beach. Older unit. AC units leaked and caused the carpet and floors to get very wet in the middle of the night. Property Management Responded promptly. Description says there are TWO pull out couches. That’s correct, but the way the couches are set up only one can be pulled out at a time, and those mattresses were not in good shape. We were notified the Thursday morning that we needed to evacuate that same day by noon because of a Hurricane. The beach chairs and umbrellas (free amenities) were not available Wednesday because of the upcoming storm. Our trip was cut short two nights and I’ve not been notified of any refunds.
Response from VrboOwner on 5 Nov 2026
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry the sleeper sofa setup wasn’t ideal for your group, and that the hurricane cut your stay short. We calculated your refund to account for the power and internet outages after the storm, and we hope it reflected that fairly. We truly appreciate you as a guest and hope for clear skies on your next visit!

Great view and clean!!

The property was very nice and clean! The view of the gulf was fantastic! The furniture on the balcony in the listing is different than the actual furniture at the property. In the picture there is an outside table with tall chairs. At the property there's a couch, a chair, and a side table. We were looking forward to eating at the table on the deck with the view from the taller chairs. The other chairs work they just not what we were expecting. But would definitely stay again!

Reviewer Comments: There were several maintenance issues with the unit, not to mention the walkway to the beach was out the entire visit despite being worked on a little bit each day. I thought it would be done within a day or two. It was still out when we left. The property manager I spoke with wasn't exactly on her game.

We are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Unfortunately the walkway repair was out of our hands as it was an HOA repair and delays can happen especially do to weather. We do hope you will consider coming back to one of our many other wonderful condos we have.
