Great location and condo!

This little condo was just perfect for the quick fall break trip for me and my boys who each brought a friend. It was clean, it was right on the canal, and it was a great size. The boys loved playing mini golf, tennis and pickleball, but let's be honest - the golf cart was the main attraction :) It was so convenient to get around the complex and to the beach. Location was terrific and we had a wonderful time.

Perfect!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Katherine is very responsive to questions and even checked on us to make sure we didn't need anything. The house was exceptionally clean and you can't ask for a better location. Having a golf cart to access things in the resort and get to the beach was very handy. We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome rental!!

We were super pleased renting this property. The owners made sure we had everything we needed and gave us lots of detailed information. She checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed. The property even had lots of beach stuff, pool floats, wagons, umbrellas, and grilling tools. We loved the house and will definitely be coming back!

Overall we loved the location and community the condo was in. We enjoyed taking advantage of the multiple pools, and liked how a couple were heated since the weather was a little cool out. We also loved having the golf cart and taking it around the community and the beach. Such a great and fun amenity! The cons are definitely the cleanliness of the property. The place needs some love - it looks like it’s been rented out for years and just not kept up on. The floors are pretty gross; we wore shoes or socks the whole time bc of it. The sheets were dirty with black marks on the sheets in the primary bedroom and makeup stains all over the sheets in the other bedroom. The downstairs sink gets clogged up when you wash your hands, the sliding glass door to the outside deck is sooo hard to open. The mirrors on the walls had a film on them as though they haven’t been cleaned in quite a while and the couches felt dirty and had a bit of an odor. Also one of the chairs on the deck has a tear in it and will break if someone on the larger side sits on it. :) I was also shocked by the lack of amenities overall that I think are pretty standard at most places like a blow dryer. That’s such a cheap thing to have on hand!We loved the location, but I would not stay in this unit again. Please spend some money and do some updates and get a deep clean done!

Hi Elizabeth! I am so sorry the place didn’t meet your expectations. I know you and your family were so excited to visit PCB. If you look back at my previous reviews, cleanliness is a staple at our place. You are right, our townhome is not new but it is always clean! You were our first guest of the season. During the off season, we invest a lot of money and elbow grease to ensure cleanliness. We also replace all sheets so I’m unsure why they had makeup on them. I could list all the measures we take to ensure a great stay but in this moment I will apologize and tell you that I value your feedback! I do wish you would’ve given us the opportunity to make it right during your stay. My goal is for you to have a 5 star stay!! Regarding things that are not at the property, I have items on the website and I send a document listing “what to bring during your stay.” Nonetheless, I understand your perspective and wish you well!

Thank you so much for your gracious comments Peter! I appreciate you spending the month of March with us! For our future guests. The couch is 6 months old so the cushions are quite new. We have had some pretty bad storms in FL this year so I was unaware of the chairs on the deck. I will have those replaced this week! I don’t think there are wheels on a sliding glass door but I will look into that asap! Other than that, our property is great, clean and well maintained!! I look forward to you staying with us next year!!!!

Great Home & Great Communication from Owners

My family and I just left PCB and stayed at this property. They had everything we needed with a golf cart to get us to and from the beach. Kitchen has everything you need. Back porch was perfect for us and our kids as we got to feed the turtles and fish every morning while it was not as hot outside. If there is one thing I would recommend, it would be get a better mattress for the Master Bedroom and maybe some better water pressure for the master shower. Either way, we will be back next year and will be booking this condo for our next week spent in PCB.

Pretty good spot

The host was wonderful and helpful, the location is alright aside from the back porch being in full sun most of the day at a weird angle. The cleanliness was nice, and the appliances worked. My only complaint is the floors were absolutely gross. You could tell in some areas they haven’t been mopped for who knows how long, it felt like walking on earwax. The property manager might be at fault for not making sure things are tiptop, so I wouldn’t blame the host.

I apologize about the floor and wish you would’ve told me so I could’ve fixed the situation for you. We pride ourselves on cleanliness as I’m sure you could tell. We personally went over and made sure the floor was spotless!

Great Family Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Gulf Highlands! The property was clean and exactly as the listing portrayed it. Communication was excellent. The golf cart was a huge benefit to our family, making it easy and fun to get around the property to pools, mini golf, and of course, the beach. There were lots of extras at the condo for our use, including sand toys for our kids, mini golf clubs and balls, some beach chairs and umbrella that were a huge bonus! We enjoyed the easy access of this complex vs. a high rise while still having the pretty canal view off the back deck. Our kids loved watching for turtles. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a couple meals each day and we made use of the grill on the deck as well. The beachfront clubhouse was closed for renovations during our stay, but the pool and beach access were both nice. Our favorite pool was the one on Grand Island, which was very easy to get to from the condo and had parking for the golf cart close by. Overall our family enjoyed our stay and would recommend this townhome!

Family Spring Break

Overall this house was perfect for our family! Plenty of room for the 4 of us and still comfortable had my other child traveled with us too! The home was as it appears, clean and nice. The kitchen was well stocked with the useful utensils, cookware and needs that made it easy for meals in. Having the golf cart was great to pack up for our trips to the beach and just visiting the amenities around the resort. There was pool accessories, beach wagon and chairs and I think an umbrella- my fault for not checking and we brought all ours from home! Communication with host was easy and she was very nice! I don’t think there was anything really lacking, we were able to enjoy our trip and very comfortable in the home. * If i were to say anything and not necessarily negative but a suggestion is for more functional furniture in the master room. The second room was perfect, night stand & large dresser large empty closet and even empty floor space for luggage. But the master lacks any dresser and only one night table without a drawer either. With the closet also used as linen, vacuum and storage box we found ourselves trying to find space for our luggage and being able to unpack some besides hanging a few would have been nice. But overall it was great and not a big deal! We truly enjoyed the home and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
