The property was perfect for our three families. It is gulf front, but the property extends to the sound side. The walk to the beach is short, and the swimming pool is close by.
The condo itself is well laid out with three bedrooms (k,q,q) on the bottom floor (the king has its own bathroom, but the other two bedrooms share a full bath). There is a bedroom, full bath and loft upstairs. Plenty of sleeping space for a family or all the kids upstairs with two full beds and two twins,each with a trundle. Just be mindful of the spiral staircase! If you have little ones, you’ll need a baby gate.
Many VRBO’s I’ve stayed in have a salt, pepper etc. stash; this one does not, so make sure to bring everything, including your own coffee filters. Coffee filters, specifically, would be a nice thing for the property to add, since all makers are different.
Also, we felt that some deep cleaning was in order, especially upstairs, where I wiped globs of dust off of the fan blades and needed to clean under the trundle beds. Needless to say, we had a few allergy sniffles in our group. That being said, it is one of the nicer properties I have stayed in for the price, and can be easily remedied.
Keep in mind that you will be walking up and down to the third floor on loading / unloading. They do offer an outdoor, unlocked storage for beach items just as you exit the boardwalk.
Lastly, the parking was an issue, as we found in the contract that only two cars were allotted to the unit which sleeps 10. The closest parking they could offer for a third car was paid parking several miles away. You may want to take this into consideration when booking. As a property, I imagine that a four bedroom unit would allot at least 3 spaces or offer guest parking. Just something to consider.
Again, for the price, this unit was lovely and offered all amenities of a large condo but maintained a quaint and uncrowded duplex-like atmosphere.
