Great location. Short walk to beach. When we needed an extra key all I had to do was send a text and it was delivered.

Was able to check in after hours and pick up the keys- communication via text was very helpful! The place was clean and comfortable and loved the back enclosed patio. The garage was a plus even though I didn't park in it and had beach chairs and Pickleball rackets etc. Overall was a great home away from home with everything we needed… The bedrooms upstairs would be helpful if had twin beds for kids. Left a message about the mini fridge icemaker not working and they sent someone right away and since it wasn’t going to work right away he went and bought us two bags of ice, which was very nice and helpful. I liked that there was a gate but security was not overwhelming for everyone who entered and the beach access across the street was better than having to walk to the public access. Having a keypad for entry into the house would be helpful over a physical key just because with kids coming and going ended up just leaving the door locked all week, but it seemed safe to do so. Overall a great beach stay!!

Okay not great
WIFI was an issue the entire trip. We had to use "hot spots" for everything. Maintenance came out 3 days but never fixed it. Communication between Gulf and Bay and Tropical Sands wasn't great which led to issues with parking pass. The home was nice and decent location. Not much of a gym. Pool was nice and property had both tennis and pickleball courts.

We apologize for the issues you faced with the WiFi and the parking pass. It's disappointing that maintenance was unable to resolve the WiFi problem and that communication was lacking. We'll work on improving our coordination and communication to prevent such issues in the future.
