The small private balcony has a slight Gulf view depending on the courtyard vegetation. (Don't rent this place for the view....rent it for the value!)

Great place, short walk to the beach

Great place to stay. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. The bunk beds in the hallway are an awesome use of space. The property was clean and on the quiet side. Walking distance to Kenny D’s restaurant. Property manager was great and made sure we were taken care of.

Great Location

We had a great stay! Location was amazing and easy access to the beach. Cons would have to be the shower needs some maintenance- the knob is really loose and can’t really get the water to a good temp you either take a hot hot shower or a cool shower. Overall was a good stay for me and my family.

Great place to stay!!!

This condo was everything we needed. Its conveniently located right across the street from the beach. I really liked that it has private access to the beach. The beach wasnt neatly as crowded here as it was to the leftvand right of the private area. Any future trips to Mirimar beach, ill definitly be looking to stay here again.

Great time

Had a great time property was as pictured and described. The pool and hot tub right outside was really nice especially cause it was a little colder than expected. First time in the area really cool with plenty to do. The beach was a very short walk across the street with private access. Most beautiful white sand and great beaches! The place itself could use some updating but overall had a great time and stay and would both recommend and come again! Thank you!

Very nice place!

Loved the property and the Condo was awesome! If any downside at all would be you can hear the people above you especially if they have kids. Not a big issue I would definitely recommend Chris's condo and would stay there again. It is right above the pool and hot tub. The walk to the beach is very short and don't forget it's a private beach. Kenny D's is just a short walk and great food.

Great weekend getaway

We wanted to do a quick getaway with our teen daughter and friend before school started, and this was perfect for our needs. The unit was very clean, it had everything we needed, and it was fairly quiet. We didn’t notice any of the negatives that other reviews have mentioned. Sure, there’s not a gulf view, but the beach is so close that we had no trouble walking down whenever we wanted. The pool is also just downstairs, so we could check on the kids by looking out the door rather than having to walk. We enjoyed our stay here, and we definitely plan to book it again.

Blackout curtains would make a huge difference in the bedroom. Not the property owners fault but the complex is extremely noisy. Definitely hear everything going on above you and outside.

A little rundown

The “master” bed....you basically roll to the middle. My husband and I moved to the bunk beds- they were much more comfortable. Which of course was not the best. We switched nights we slept with our toddler... smallest balcony with no view of beach and you’re unlikely to get the door open. The walls and ceilings are very thin- we heard everything all around us. Only a couch- needs another chair. Great location- had everything we needed in kitchen- the owner was very nice. Needs some updates-

Fall Break

This place was awesome!!! The PRIVATE BEACH was the best and it made each day enjoyable. The condo was very comfortable. Since it was just the 2 of us, we just used the bed and not the bunks or the pull-out. It was well appointed. with enough dishes, silverware, etc. It could use more glasses and salt and pepper might be added. We did not use the dishwasher, but washed our dishes every time we used them. I am sure the DW is an added bonus for larger groups. There were enough towels for the 2 of us. We did not utilize the pool because we were at the beach all day, every day. It would have been nice to have the beach chairs and beach umbrella included in the price, but it was not a problem. We did pay for them with the Beach company and it was well worth it. Maybe have some beach chairs in the condo for guest use. Also, maybe have some beach toys--buckets, shovels, floaties, etc. for those guests who fly and cannot bring those item with them. A table lamp in the living room might be added for reading. It was a great get-away for this very tired teacher:-)
