Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you loved the condo’s location, comfort, décor, and beautiful Gulf views. It means a lot to us that you would choose to stay here again, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
The property was just enough for our family of three. We kept having issues with the living room TV, but made other plans when it wasn’t working. Overall, it is a nice place.

Reviewer Comments:
My husband and I came down for a getaway without kids for the first time in 16 years and this condo was great. The photos are accurate of the layout of the condo. The view was perfect from the balcony. The bed was pretty comfy. We had a few small things I had to email about but they were answered quickly. The only real complaint I have is there are only 2 elevators and they are slow so we always had to wait a little bit. We enjoy this area because it is quieter and less crowded.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Aug, 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're honored you chose to spend your first kid-free getaway with us in 16 years and are so glad you enjoyed your stay. It's wonderful to hear the condo met your expectations, you loved the balcony views, and our team was able to respond quickly whenever you needed assistance.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the elevators. While they're managed by the condominium association, we understand wait times can be frustrating during busy periods. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you both back for another relaxing getaway soon!
Property was in average condition with a few items needing attention. The guest shower door was off the rails and would not open. I put that back on in 5 minutes. There were some obvious missing items on the walls with nails or holes from where they had been. Towels under guest vanity were thrown in, not stacked. Otherwise, everything was fine. Nice and quiet with doors closed. Easy walking to Patches for dinner.

Hey Cleve,
Thanks so much for staying with us! Sorry about the small maintenance issues — we're on it. I'm really glad you enjoyed the restaurant, and we’d love to have you back again soon!
Very nice place and convenient location. Plenty room for two people. The second bathroom is a plus. The kitchen everything needed for a great stay. My only concern was the cleanliness of decorative pillows on the bed.
