We got there and checked in without any issues. We have stayed in this complex before, this was our best experience. The hide a bed did not open but our 10 year old slept on the bunk beds.
Perfect getaway for a refresh for my hubby and me! Condo was perfect for the two of us! It was clean and king size bed was comfy! Perfect location with beautiful view of the ocean and beautiful sunrise view! There is also a beautiful pier (from condo next door) that is lit up at night that provides a beautiful romantic nighttime view. We walked to Costal restaurant from the beach for an ocean view lunch! The owners answered questions very timely before our booking. We had no issues with checkin or checkout! Highly recommend!

We must say we have THE best cleaning crew! We self manage and she and her crew do their part wonderfully to keep the condo clean and comfortable. Combine that with the Great View and that made for your great vacation. Come again!
Nice unit at the end on 3rd floor, plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 young children as well. Nice view of the beach and support facilities nearby. We would stay here again.

Why they chose this property
Growing up, Becky and Chris, have seen a lot of the United States and the world. (We are military brats!) We have seen a lot of beautiful places. So when we decided to retire around 2010, we looked around the world to see where we wanted to retire. We chose the Gulf Coast! We love the white sandy beaches and the beautiful Gulf water! Then, we found a place on the beach with direct Gulf views! Now, we would love to share our beautiful condo, the Shore Thing, with you!
