I am an avid reader of reviews before booking and the reviews were all over on this place. My take away is every review is accurate.
The location of the condo is perfect! It’s easily accessible, great parking space, the screened patio makes the place even better, the whole wall opens to enjoy the view/sounds of the gulf, plenty of beach towels/toys/chairs, the pool was so warm, spacious inside, full size washer/dryer was convenient.
5 star all the way on those things, but…it does need some TLC. The blinds need serious help. Several pieces are missing or fall off in your hand when you try to adjust them. We ended up hanging blankets everyday to block the sun. The kitchen is well stocked, but with old mismatched items. An overall top to bottom and inside out cleaning and some touch up painting would be nice. There is no smart tv so no streaming, but plenty of cable/on demand options. The master shower head needs help…we all ended up using the main bathroom shower which did have great pressure. There were some mystery light switches and the main door knob/lock wasn’t always cooperative. The “wet” chair has been covered, but the footstool still felt wet the whole time. We just put a towel over it.
After all that I will say this was the PERFECT Thanksgiving break and exactly what my busy family needed for a week! We are already talking about doing it again—same time, same place—next year!
Thank you, Mike and Karen, for a great stay and lots of memories!
