Condo was neat and clean and in a very good location. Quiet and peaceful stay. The only negatve is the sofa. It either needs a good cleaning or to just be replaced.

Wonderful property and OWNERS! Great pools for children and beach access restaurant next door. Wonderful place for family! Very peaceful and not crowded but still close enough to travel to in town attractions.

Summer getaway

We’ve stayed on this property in several different units over the years and have enjoyed every experience. This unit is likely the cleanest and most updated of any we’ve had the pleasure to stay in. We were very impressed with the utilization of space, considering the limited size! VERY functional and adaptable. The direct view of the beach makes up for the distance from the pools and boardwalk. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place

Was very clean where it counts- bedroom and bathroom and kitchen. Didn’t look like it was cleaned underneath the sofa. Know this because we were sweeping one day after the beach. Could use more eating utensils. Overall a great place for my wife and I. Would stay here again without question.

Favorite Vacation Spot

This is our third year staying at GSP! I haven’t had a bad experience yet! The condo was exactly as described. Had plenty of dishes, a crockpot, coffee maker, and toaster! Was very clean. We enjoy all the pools while we are there. Would definitely recommend!

Great Location and Place for the Price!

Great quieter location with a beautiful beach area and plenty of pool options. This was a great place for our family of 6. Owner was responsive to my questions. The condo size was small for a family our size, but for the price feel like it is a great option! Be sure to bring extra supplies as there is just one of each item (toilet paper, dishwasher pod, coffee pod, kleenex). There is a Dollar General close by. Great location to be away from the business but close enough to enjoy all the area has to offer!

Family Vacation

The only reason I am giving this a 4 star review is because we had to provide the little amenities. Toilet Paper, Napkins, and Trash Bags to name a few. Overall the property was amazing and the condo was beautiful. It was a little snug for a family of 5 but it worked just fine. Would definitely go back, will just be more prepared next time.

Would stay again

Photos made the condo seem a little larger than it actually turned out to be for a family of 4 (boys 10 & 13) but we had sufficient room and there was so much to do at the resort and nearby we didn't do much more than sleep in the room.

Wonderful Weekend Escape

We really enjoyed our stay at Escape to Serenity! The condo is clean, cozy and stocked with everything you need. I loved the full size kitchen, and we made good use of the beach cart and chairs. The views from the porch are beautiful. The beach area is lovely and spacious. We would definitely return!

Excellent experience

The following are the highlights, as too many great things to say here: locale, the condo was clean, nice decor, great amenities within the condo to include a completely equipped kitchen with everything needed for meal preparations. All appliances worked flawlessly. Very comfortable and appealing accommodations. Short board walk to an excellent beach with miles of white sand and leisurely walks. Short distance to Fort Morgan, and several trails leading to the seashore nearby. Short drive to a seafood market and to a Dollar General store. My only recommendation would be to include a broom and dust pan (and maybe a mop?), as we would have liked to sweep some of that sand we had velcroed to our feet and shoes regardless of how careful we were! Overall a wonderful condo and beach stay and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a quiet beach getaway, especially to avoid the crowds at Destin etc.
