Beautiful unit on the beach with a gorgeous view

The condo is exactly as the pictures shown. The condo was clean, roomy and well maintained with a good size kitchen and living room. Master bedroom was lovely with a king size comfortable bed.  There was a Jacuzzi tub in the master bath, large walk in shower, two sink/vanities and large walk in closet with plenty of space for additional clothing. The balcony was great with extra seating, table and lounge chair.  You can see the ocean from the large sliding glass windows/doors from both the kitchen/living room and bedroom.  The pool is well maintained with plenty of lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas.  There is also an outdoor jacuzzi and exercise equipment (building) on the the property.This was our first time to the Florida Panhandle.  The sand on the beach was the whitest and pristine we have ever seen (no garbage and well maintained).  The water was clear with beautiful turquoise and blue colors.  You can rent beach chairs/umbrellas or bring your own.  From the condo you have a gorgeous view of the ocean and pool area.   We were glad we rented a car as most restaurants are not close, although you can walk to the Back Porch restaurant.  There are many other restaurants on the water and other choices inland.  Highly recommend Moe's Original BBQ and Harbor Docks.  There are also many seafood markets nearby.  Be sure to read the property emails before you arrive as they provide check in specifics.  You must pay 15 per guest for wrist bands for pool and beach acc

Nice stay

Room and location were great! Room was very comfortable. Be aware of hidden fees. We had a charge from VRBO that is added after “total cost” of room. Also, we had to pay an additional $15 per wristband to access the pool and beach. This is not included in the cost of the room. Otherwise, beautiful room. Beach was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay

We all said we’d stay here again

The condo is very clean and we loved being on the first floor. The elevator closest to this condo was not working so it worked perfect to use the stairs with only having to go up one flight. We had three kids under the age of 5 and they loved it. Kitchen is large with a good amount of counter space to cook on. We will definitely stay in this condo again. Everything was perfect!

Very convenient location! Check in was a breeze. Loved that we didn't have to wait on the elevator and could use the stairs to head right up to the unit on the 1st floor. The beds were super comfy!! The beach wasn't too crowded and the complimentary beach set up was an added bonus! My only complaint about the unit would be the cleanliness of it upon arrival. Overall, the experience was great and we'd rent the unit again.

Location was great and beds were very comfortable. The view from the balcony is beautiful. For the price of this location I wouldn’t have expected some of the issues that came up. Expect to pay for wristbands at property as it’s not listed in this listing. Maintenance was delayed in fixing the dishwasher which leaked the entire trip and had to keep drying towels to keep the area dry. Be sure to check you get the door code because I never received it.

Floors were dirty and sticky! Toilet in master bedroom partially stopped up when we arrived and then it was stopped up all the way toilet in small bathroom was leaking at the base we had to keep a towel around the base to keep from walking in the dirty water! Also when I booked this I only wanted 4 nights but Panhandler call me said I had to stay 5 nights in order to book it this was not on the Vrbo site! Everything else was good

love hate

We loved the location, loved the beach/pool, overall had a good time. But....checking in was confusing. 5 minutes into our stay the front bathroom was clogged and overflowed heavily, water was everywhere. I had to shut the water off, so the whole room wouldn't flood. After notifying maintenance, towels were eventually, not immediately, brought to our room. No one came to fix the toilet the during our entire stay, which was disappointing. When I spoke to whomever, they asked if we had one working toilet and implied that this is all that was going to be done during our stay. I also get the sense that this is not the first time this has happened based on how the situation was handled. So all 5 of us had to share the one bathroom our whole stay. We managed, but if we only wanted one bathroom, we would have booked somewhere else. After multiple calls, no one has reached out to offer a credit, new room, or discount for any of this, so a bit disappointing when you pay this much for it.

That View! That Sand! That Clear Water! But...

We were so excited to arrive and the view was just picturesque! The biggest drawback was the overall cleanliness. Very dirty floors with dirt, sand, and long strands of hair - everywhere including the sheets. The mirrored wall had a ton of hand smudges along with the sliding glass doors. The bar sink looked like it wasn’t cleaned as there was a dried substance in the sink. The master bathroom shower door was difficult to open and was very old. The inside of the shower needs a deep cleaning as there was black bathroom mold along the bottom of the shower walls. The tile in the kitchen needs to be deep cleaned it was almost a gray color and the tile is suppose to be white. I did give this feedback to the management company upon arrival and was assured that for the next guest it would be cleaned better. Hmmmm. Why not for our stay? But other than cleanliness of which we were able to clean ourselves to be at least tolerable, we truly enjoyed the beach both day and night. This condo did have some great decor touches! Just get it deep cleaned and think about touch up paint in the master bathroom.
