Girls trip

I had a quick girls trip weekend. It was great location. Elevators were always working and fast. The pool wasn't over crowded and parking lot always has spots. Only thing couple areas could be a little cleaner, but nothing major. Host was very good at communication.

Easy beach access

location was excellent! Only downfall was bathroom was super tiny, the kitchen light didn’t work and the air unit was EXTREMELY loud and roared at random times during the night. Also the power was shut off at 7am for maintenance which made packing a little difficult but would stay again!

Excellent location! The ease of checking in and the communication was spot on. If you're looking for immaculate this isn't it. It has it's imperfections. I was able to overlook most of it since we wasn't in the room much. The dishwasher had hoses and bags in it, which I assumed it didn't work, I didn't try. The community balcony is literally steps from the front door. I enjoyed sitting out there a lot. I would definitely stay again. The kids and I had an amazing vacation!

Just an ok stay

Although we were in the the room very limited time as planned, it could use a deep cleaning and updated. The bathtub was not clean and had sand in the bottom, we were left only two towels for a 5 day stay (smaller towels), it needs an air purifier due to the musty smell, the kitchen drawer had dirty cutlery in it, a hair was on one of the pillows, the couches had stains on them and the living room light was blown. The owner was very responsive and brought extra towels for another person that was coming on Saturday and was very quick to fix the light that was out. I can’t say that I wouldn’t stay here again, but it would definitely need to be a little cleaner.

Weekend beach trip

Condo was perfect for a weekend getaway. Had everything we found for cooking a meal. There were chairs and beach toys for the kids. The elevators were quick (unlike the higher condo around). The beach and pool was close and nice. So the little pool/beach shack snack bar we found the food to be very poor just our opinion.

Perfect for girls trip

This was perfect for my friends and I for a girls trip. Not fancy but had everything we needed. There were chairs to rent on the beach right in front of the condo and because it is down a ways from Pier Park, etc the beach was not packed.

The location was great. There was a little musty odor and towels smaller like smoke. Told the owner and she came right away that night to replace the towels. It was quite even during spring break. We really enjoyed it.

My family and I stayed at Julie's place for 3 nights. It's in a great location, beautiful pool and beach in your backyard. It had everything we needed. Our flight got in early and Julie even let us check in early. I wouldn't hesitate to use her condo again.
