For an older facility, it was fairly well maintained. The appliances were old, but everything worked okay. We found the condo was clean. The pool was clean and well maintained. Beach access was awesome. Any questions we had were promptly answered by the host company. Other than a few minor things other inconsiderate guests did, (Nothing any property owner or manager could have done about that.) our stay was great.

We stayed with a one year old and a 4 year old. The downstairs corner unit was perfect. The children had a small yard to play and we the adults had a small outside area to sit at night. The unit was perfect for us!

Everything was just OK.

Property managers weren't helpful. Wifi didn't work nor the ice maker. After asking for help the issues were never fixed. Building is next to a dumpster and behind a gas station. The pool and beach being close was nice. Having a grassy space to yourself was also nice. Everything was OK.

50’s chic beach condo

The Aqua Villas has an old beach feel. You walk down a hallway to a pool gate to get the the front door of the condos. They’re very cute small apartment like condo. This one is perfect for older people who want a quite spot on ground level. It’s a corner condo and has a small yard by the glas sliding door. The kitchen is well stocked but the can opener was broken but we made due. My husband really wished there was a 10 inch skillet to make bacon for breakfast. The sliding glass door was heavy and kinda hard to unlock but that was an advantage for us have a 3 year old, nice knowing he could open it. When we arrived the front door didn’t have a dead bolt and our son opened the front door right up which was a huge concern because we were right at the pool. We contacted the rental company and they had the property manager right out to install One. Very prompt response. Beds were comfy, plenty of extra pillows and blankets and excellent towels! Easy beach access through a gate, four stairs up to the gate which if you don’t have a wagon and are hauling a ton of beach stuff could be hard. Luckily we had a wagon. We had a fabulous time and enjoyed the easy access to everything and the ocean was wonderful. The sand was so white and soft. Would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a cute condo.

VRBO should go back to being listed by OWNER

Southern Rentals manages this place. The first problem is that the picture of the view is deceiving. You do not see the pool from this unit. You see a patch of grass and a wall between you and the beach. You can see over the wall if you walk up to it. The second problem is lack of response by the management. On our first day, the fire alarm for the building went off early in the morning during a rain and wind storm. The alarm was going off for at least 20 minutes before I finally called 911 and got the fire dept. to come. I have to say the fire dept. came very quickly after they were alerted. They said the dialer must not be working. No idea what caused the alarm to go off, but I do know people were smoking in their condos, so may have set off the smoke alarm. One of the condo owners , though, said the individual smoke alarms are not connected to the building alarm. ????? If that's true, what is the point of having them? Anyway, the alarm went off again the day before we left. And again, I had to call 911. The fireman said , again, that the dialer was not working. If you value your life, you may want to avoid staying in this building. I contacted Southern Rentals about the fire alarm and also about the problem we had with NO INTERNET (by text because that seemed to be the only way to get through). I was told I would be contacted by the building supervisor, but we never heard a thing from him. Aside from no view the unit was sufficient and comfortable, but I would never stay here again and I will never do business with Southern Rental again.

Hi Patricia, Thank you for this feedback. We do apologize that you felt the view picture was misleading. We believe the picture you are referring to shows the view of the pool from above and we used that one to show the size and shape of the pool and the pool deck. Thank you for reporting the issue with the internet to us and allowing us to reset the router and get it working within the hour. We also apologize for the building fire alarm interrupting your vacation. We will absolutely pass this feedback to the HOA responsible for the building. We hope to see you again in the future.

On the beach

We loved our stay at Aqua Villa. You could see the white beaches and green waters of the Gulf from our unit. Everything looked just like the photos online so no bad surprises. Customer service extremely responsive to any of our questions. My only complaint is that there was no recycling service available there.

The property was clean and just right for my family

The sliding glass door latch was broken and could not be locked but that was taken care of the first day. However, the vertical blinds are missing a few slats so you can't get complete privacy as the door faces the side. It rained every day but that can't be helped. This unit afforded easy access to the beach. Overall we were pleased.
