Experience Your Vacation Haven
If you’re looking for an escape that will give you access to a plethora of fun activities, Observation Point North unit 364 is the destination for your next vacation.

Cozy atmosphere meets elegant and modern design; noticeable from the moment you walk in the door. You are immediately greeted by the kitchen, with wooden cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. You will also notice the breakfast bar available stemming from the kitchen countertop. Stepping further into the unit, you’ll find the beachy dining area, with a beach themed centerpiece, beach paintings on the wall and an overall beach color palette throughout the unit. The living room has amazingly comfortable furniture situated around a flat screen television.

The bedrooms also maintain a beachy feel, with bright coastal hues, decorations and furniture. Both bedrooms also have flat screen televisions for entertainment purposes and have new furnishings as well. The bathrooms match the color and design of their accompanying bedrooms.

Lastly, take a moment to walk out onto the porch and take in the view of the complex, and note that the table out on the porch is ready for a meal with your group or a great location to enjoy your morning coffee!

Being at the Village of Baytowne Wharf puts you right in the middle of all the action. Fun and adventure resides just outside of your door, while some of the best restaurants around are extraordinarily close, offering whatever you may be hungry for, breakfast, lunch dinner or dessert. Shopping is also made easy, with stores ranging from beach shops to toy stores to candy shops to apparel stores. Being at Baytowne Wharf, you won’t miss any special event going on, as all you need to do is step outside. If you are looking for a day at the beach, a tram ride will have you there in no time!

Good location

Great location to do things at Baytowne Warf. It can get a little noisy with being so close to everything but that comes with the territory. Noise level is tolerable. Clean place to stay. Communication was great.

Unexpectedly not a good experience and stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We 1st couldn't get in to our 1st Condo that we reserved and paid for and took a while to get someone to help. Find out they were doing construction work and they and painting. They moved us to another condo with more problems and same thing going on with a lot of noise. Then they moved us again with more problems and things not working.

Great Location, but Rental Needs Some Love

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really wanted to love the rental. I am very confused with the perfect reviews. It was DIRTY. If you walked barefoot (inside only), your feet would turn black immediately. We had to make the decision to leave our shoes on inside the whole week. It was uncomfortable and made us not want to be there, and even worse when you have young children who touch everything. It was also really beat up and worn. A huge dent taken out if the corner of the wall, lots of chips off the trim, black spots around the fan on the ceiling in the master bathroom, dirt spots all over the doors where people had touched the door and not the handle. It was as if had not been cleaned other than the toilets, mirrors and countertops. When you notice all of this you wonder what else is dirty, because other than the obvious damage you could NOT tell the floor was dirty to the naked eye, so it’s tricky and more bothersome. If I was the owner of the rental I would be making some changes or wish to be better informed of what shape things are in and the cleanliness. The listing photos are outdated in this category. Positives- the location was ideal for what we were looking for. The size and layout was accurate and ideal for us. The decorations were also nice and as pictured. We were naturally able to spend most of our day outside. If you don’t care about cleanliness you will not be bothered. Overall, we would stay in Baytowne Wharf again, but we would NOT stay in this unit.

Everything All at Once

If this review is for the Academy rating, definitely this place wins an Oscar award. We had a blast with our stay here. It was a perfect get away for our family of 6 for springbreak. The place is secured, clean, great food and restaurant, full of activities and entertainments, but not all that, even shopping. I will recommend this place to my friends 100% for those who the best experience in Marimar Beach area for vacation.

Super cute and cozy cottage!

We loved everything about our stay here. The cottage was better in person than on the listing. The beds are comfy, it has all the amenities you need, and a short walk to the beach. The outdoor shower is the best too. We loved that option. Well worth the money!

Cute Condo

Cute condo that is in a great location. We were in the midst of the action attending the Gumbo Festival. We loved hearing the music and people watching from the balcony. The condo was a good option for our family of 3. We tend to cook a few meals when traveling. Kitchen is appointed for basic use (i.e., no measuring spoons or we couldn't find them) otherwise everything you need is there. We enjoyed our stay.

Good experience in the hustle of Baytowne Wharf

Overall we had a good experience with this stay. It was my parents and my family including my wife and elementary school aged daughter. We wanted to be in the middle of all things Baytowne Wharf so the location gave us what we were looking for. The property provided towels, shampoo, dishes and detergents, so overall a good stay. Things we wish were just a little better, the dryer takes a long time to dry. It’s probably not very well ventilated, my guess. The sleeper sofa is not very comfortable, we didn’t end up using as expected. And lastly, we didn’t realize how noisy each morning would be with maintenance crews cleaning up and maintaining the grounds. Not a deal breaker, just wished it was a little more quiet. So if you plan to stay here, this is one thing you must be good with. We spent most of the time at the beach. The tram passes came handy a few times. Mostly we drove back and forth. The property does not give you access to the closest parking lot to the beach so, you’ll need to walk a bit from the parking lot, but a huge deal but we have always had a card that allowed us to park closer. Again, some critique above, since otherwise the place is exactly what you see in photos, Wi-Fi reliable, the questions were quickly answered, so overall the stay was good.
