Loved the property!!

We absolutely loved the property. If you’re looking for a quiet place that is only a few minutes walk to the beach, well this is the place. This property will not disappoint. We were also allowed to check in early which was so wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!!

Nice place

Place was nice, clean. Apparently the cleaning lady didn't like baby powder on the floor in a restroom so we picked up a $20 charge when leaving. Oh well. Other than that... we'd go back

Our new vacation spot!

The host Bubba was the best host yet. He contacted me ahead of time to make sure I received check in information. Very easy to get ahold of if anything was needed. He even noticed us or a boil water advisory that he received the time of our stay. (This didn’t affect us at all) His place had everything you needed to cook a good home cooked meal. He even had a beach cart that wasn’t listed. We brought our own but now we know for future reference . I highly recommend staying here. The beds are super comfortable as well and that’s hard to find when staying on vacation. 20/10 recommend! :)

We loved our stay here at this cute little townhome. Buddy is a wonderful host and is always available to answer any questions or address any concerns. The home is in a perfect location and very quiet. This was our first time staying off the beach and we were not sure how we were going to like it but we LOVED it so much. We would def recommend staying here and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Buddy!

The best yet at Gulf highlands

This was the best townhouse we have stayed in on the property, and we have stayed many times. Buddy was absolutely the easiest person to deal with. I highly recommend and will keep this location for future visits. Thank you so much Buddy for working with us. We had the best weekend getaway.

Lovely home that made our vacation top notch!

We had the BEST vacation this year! Was super nervous about not staying right on the beach however Mr. Ivey’s condo made it totally worth it and it was only a very short walk over to the beach. Mr. Ivey has everything you could need at the condo and had the most comfortable beds we’ve ever had on vacation! My kids said this is our new vacation home!Community is quite and relaxing. Also only one small hiccup came up that was complete out of his co trip but Mr. Ivey was on it so fast and had it fixed immediately so was no inconvenience to us! Hospitality is great! Cannot say enough kind things about this unit and it’s owner! Must stay!

Awesome Renter

Buddy, the owner, was very informative. I liked that he contacted me a few hours after we checked in to make sure everything was ok. That was very classy. The condo was very clean and furnished. We enjoyed the stay and would definitely consider his condo on a future visit to PCB.

Wonderful Stay!

This condo and host were fantastic! The pictures don't do it justice! We knew it was going to be nice but were pleasantly surprised that it was even nicer than expected. Communication with the host, Buddy, was super simple and fast. The beds and linens were super comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bathrooms were great. We were very appreciative of the washer and dryer on site as well. We also enjoyed being so close to putt putt and some pools. The lagoon view was gorgeous and opening the blinds to it each morning was an added perk. We enjoyed everything about our stay and you will too!

About the host

Hosted by Buddy & Kim Ivey

We are the Ivey family from McDonough, Ga. My father purchased this condo in 1986 and when the construction was completed in 1987 we moved in at Christmas for the first time. We have rented the condo out to family and friends at Delta Airlines just on a word on mouth basic and had many of the same family enjoy in the summer for 20 plus years. The unit has never been rented via a rental program. This is the first time we have ever put the unit on VRBO. The unit was total remodeled two years ago and we believe it to be one of the nicest units in Gulf Highlands. We have expanded cable and Wi-Fi in the unit. We would love to share our home away from home with you.
