Surprise birthday getaway to PCB
My husband and I decided this year that we would take our girls on a surprise beach trip just in time for our oldest’s 12th birthday & the start of their fall break from school. We were very happy to find that the condo is exactly as pictured in the listing, and it is even cuter in person! It was perfect for our little family of four for a weekend getaway. We didn’t do any cooking during our stay, but the kitchen was very nicely stocked with all the basics needed to cook a light meal. Pineapple Willy’s was one of the closest restaurants to us and was only a short drive around the corner, but honestly we could have walked up the beach to get there (almost) as quickly. TONS of souvenir/ beach shops within walking distance. Walmart almost right across the street. Pier Park also super close. Overall 10/10 for cleanliness and coziness, would absolutely bring my family to stay again!!

good small studio condo on the beach. I would recommend washing the shower curtain and liner because it makes the bathroom smell really musty but other than that it was fine.

Great resort and location!
The check in process was very easy! The resort is in a perfect location with many bars, restaurants, and activities in short proximity. Condo felt clean and the view from the condo was amazing! Only negative thing I would say is that when cooking on the stove and cooking something in the microwave at the same time, it blew the breaker to the kitchen turning off the microwave and kitchen light. Otherwise, I would return and stay again!
