Communication was excellent, only issue was there were little gnats when we arrived that we couldn’t get rid of during the stay.

Wonderful Experience for a Family

The host provided excellent communication! She went above and beyond to use her personal number instead of the app for efficiency. My family especially enjoyed the outdoor game area that included corn hole, a giant connect four game and shuffle board. Snow cones at the snack shack were a huge hit for my little ones. The complimentary beach chair service is a HUGE perk. No one likes lugging chairs and an umbrella to the beach and back again when it’s time to go inside. The surrounding area had a wonderful indoor miniature golf course and arcade I believe that all ages would enjoy.

Just right for the Price

Room was just as advertised. It is a little small but you will mostly be outside enjoying the super nice pool and short walk to beach. ( also a snack bar, a little pricey but nice perk) Complex a little older but well taken care of. Noticed workers doing things all week. Having the complimentary beach chair/umbrella service on the beach was a huge bonus not having to lug more stuff to beach. Just your cooler and towels. This part of beach is way less crowded than further down to the left or the right. No problem at all checking in with the nice security guard upon later arrival the first day. ( as long as you pay attention to info and have your $30 cash for parking for the week) Plus, the property workers are sticklers all week for making sure you have your wristband on ( which I think is great!) Cyndi was wonderful communicating when/if needed about the unit. I would definitely rent again

Definitely worth a stay!!

Everything was exactly as expected from this listing. Cyndi was wonderful with quick communication throughout the entire process and during our stay. It was a deal to be right on the beach, which I should mention was not crowded at all and felt somewhat tucked away from the more populated hotels and whatnot. The room was super cute and comfortable for two, and everything was perfectly clean (I was so relieved when I did a bare foot test that there wasn’t any sand on the floor lol). Top Of The Gulf was an awesome place to stay and I would definitely rent from Cyndi again!!

Fantastic Anniversary trip

Top of the Gulf staff were wonderful. Our Condo was pretty. I’m not sure why the bad reviews. Access to the beach was great! Pools very clean has a small one on site for kids. I’m not sure why the people complaining of armbands parking etc and no visitors. Top of the Gulf emails you way in advance. So they should’ve known this. Mrs. Maxwell was fabulous about getting back with m.e. I do plan to return.

Clean & cute

Paul Bart( the mall cop) told us to "take it to our room" at 9:30pm when 4 of us were on level 2 smoking area. Felt like a bit much. Met some nice folks. Mother Nature didn't get our vacation schedule but we made the best of it. I appreciated that the Owner was always prompt responding. Hope to return

Not completely happy, but pretty happy

Beds are super soft, so be prepared if you prefer firm. You are charged $20 for a parking pass, which may have been in the original description. They put a Non Removable arm band on you that you just wear at all times. Since it is not removable then you have to wear it every where, not just on this property. I did not like that at all, and think they need to find a better way.

Pleasant stay

We had a very pleasant experience here! The beach chairs that come with the room were awesome it was so nice not having to take chairs and an umbrella back and forth from the beach. Room had a good view and was convenient to the elevator but not so close that you hear it every time someone gets on or off. Bathroom was small but we expected that based off of the reviews and photos. Plenty of wash clothes and bath towels. Photos are very accurate and you get exactly what you pay for. The only thing we were not expecting was how many times we had to dump the dehumidifier, we had to dump it 3 to 6 times a day because it was filling up so fast. I would definitely look into getting a larger one that can hold more water at a time

Great studio condo

The condo & property was everything it was supposed to be. We would definitely stay there again. (In fact, we tried to extend our stay, but it was already booked.) Nice pool & area; fairly close to shoreline; beach chairs were a great extra benefit; beds & furniture were comfortable. The ONLY issue was not the fault of the condo or owner: GPS took us to the wrong place (nearby), & the property did not have a sign labeled "Top of the Gulf" (that we could see). The owner's recommendation about the dehumidifier was helpful. Although we had to empty its bucket 3 to 5 times a day, it made a substantial difference in the condo's comfort. OVERALL grade: A

Convenient location but in need up cleaning and upgrading.

The first thing we noticed when we came in was the pungent smell. The neighbor mentioned they had mold on their ceiling and the dehumidifier filled up after just a few hours so there was a huge amount of humidity. Expect to drain the dehumidifier often. Communication with Cynthia was really good and she answered any text I sent. There was some concern at the beginning when we didn’t bring beach towels and she let me know most condos don’t supply but that she would add that to the description for future renters. We had to go to Walmart and make the unexpected purchase. The staff at the location were also very friendly. Issues we had were when we arrived my wife had to sweep the unit because there was sand all over the floor and impossible to walk on without getting all over you. When we left we checked to make sure we were taking everything we brought and also saw that under the beds were very dirty with drink bottles, sand, and paper. The mattresses weren’t comfortable and seemed to trampoline up when someone sat on the other side. You could see them expand up. The shower took some configuring to keep water from coming out the sides of the nozzles while showering. The kitchen was convenient and while we could definitely see the ocean, this unit directly overlooks the pool which takes up most of the view since the unit is on the second floor.

Perfect family vacation

This is the second time renting this unit(different host) but so glad we found the same unit bc we absolutely love it. The view it great. The room is spacious for my family of four and has everything you need. The elevator is always quick but we were on second floor so we just took the steps a lot. We love the fact that we have access to the Landry room. The beach area is never crowded bc you have club levela on one side that’s closed and the a vacant lot on the other side so it’s kinda like you have your own private beach. The pool is huge and never full. The absolute ONLY thing I would suggest changing about the room itself is making the bathroom door open outwards so you have more room in the bathroom. Other than that, it’s perfect and this is our go to room every year!

About the host

Hosted by Cyndi Maxwell

We are a Brother/Sister team with over 15 years of ownership and management. We already owned one condo here at Top of the Gulf and loved it so much, we bought another!

Why they chose this property

This is a wonderful family-friendly complex. Walking distance to Pineapple Willie's, Alvin's Island, Signal Hill Golf Course. Our game room is totally complimentary, (adults must accompany children). We have a great little gym! We love the Big Chair! Corn hole games and shuffleboard available. Check out our over the snack bar roof-top, great to catch the sunset!

What makes this property unique

More beach for your buck! Top of the Gulf is a smaller complex and our stretch of the beach is rarely crowded. Our rentals make the beach an affordable vacation reality for everyone!
