We booked this property as a last minute family vacation before my son joins the navy. The week before, we heard there was a storm moving into the Gulf. I called the rental company and asked what the policy was and they assured us they would communicate with us if we needed to evacuate.
We got a text while we were still on the way saying the property was ready for us, so we went straight in when we arrived. The property was nice and just like the pictures. The only real complaint is that there is no pantry. We buy groceries and cook on vacation and there was really no where to put all the food.
Because of the storm moving in, we also had to move some of the patio furniture inside, which may the living area a little tight, but we still had room.
We did end up staying and getting hit by the hurricane, which is no fault of the owners or rental company. However, the unit did very well during the storm. A little water seeped in where the sliding glass doors were, but no other damage happened to the property. Other condos and units were not so lucky.
We did lose power, but there was a flashlight in the kitchen drawer and the owners had a battery pack plugged in as well, so we had additional power other than our own backup battery packs. Nights were a little warm with no power, but again, no one's fault.
We would definitely consider renting this unit again. Once the storm passed, we spent some time on the patio and the two cushioned chairs were really comfortable.
Despite the storm, we enjoyed some quality family time and even a little time on the beach.
