Perfect Beach Getaway Spot.

Booked this for a weekend and had a lovely time. There was an issue with the original unit I booked and the host went out her way to get us into a different unit and to make sure we were happy. The unit was cute and clean and just what we wanted with direct access to the beach. Definitely will be back.

Small and nothing fancy yet just perfect. We really utilized the patio and being able to walk right out on the sand to the beach is perfect. Marking this as a favorite for the future

Beautiful View

Nice, relaxing and the ocean view from the unit is awesome! Step right out the back door and our feet were in the sand. The unit was cute, cozy and decorated in a super cute beachy style. Overall enjoyed the stay and was a bonus that my fur babies were able to be with us. My only suggestions would be a deep clean and perhaps some updates to the unit.

October Get away

We were so pleased with our accommodations. The location was perfect and so quiet. Every morning we walked to the beach, about 150 feet, to watch the sunrise. Every evening we sat on the beach and watched the sunset. It was restful and lovely, just what we wanted. It’s not fancy, but very clean. The only suggestion, bring your own toilet paper if your stay is longer than 3 days. A small price for for an excellent experience.

Vacation time

I love this place it’s so close to the beach, just open your back patio door and you right there . This is our 2nd time staying there and not our last. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t have a shower but everything else is perfect.

Sweet, simple and to the point.

My husband and I took a two-day, impromptu trip just to get away for some salt air and sunshine. We found exactly what we were looking for…a small, friendly, non-commercialized little condo building, free from the hustle and bustle of the high rises which sat on either side of us. It was perfectly clean, decorated with a bright and cheery beach vibe, and was situated on the ground floor, right on the sand. It was nothing fancy, the patio was old concrete with little cracks from age but the patio furniture was comfortable and boasted a great view of the dunes as well as the crashing waves of the gulf. We were literally maybe 100 steps from the water. Our neighbors were friendly and Paul was top notch on communication during check in. No fancy elevators, marble floors,or long haul steps just to get to the beach. There was a beach side restaurant in the high rise next door that served a delicious hamburger, though expensive, very much worth it for the convenience while on the beach. There was a fireworks show on Thursday night, from somewhere down the beach, that lit the sky’s and we had a perfect view from our little patio. We carried our little Pomeranian, Rosie, with us and although dogs are not allowed on the beach without a permit, she had plenty of room to explore the beach sand, on our side of the dune right outside our back door. She loved it and made a new friend with the dog next door. It was exactly what we were looking for. We will be booking again…and again.

Convient Beach Access

We've never stayed ground level before, but we ended up loving how easy it was to access the beach. The condo is quaint, nothing fancy but was perfect for our family of 3. We were able to check in early which was great for my wife who was working remotely. Having complimentary beach chairs & an umbrella was great. The condo could use a good deep clean: ie the shower head & shampoo the couch but overall it was a pleasant experience & we even got to bring our dog.

Review

Floors were filthy upon entry, ice maker did not work, one outlet in kitchen was inoperable, wifi was terrible . . . Hardly ever worked, would have preferred deadbolt on front door, poor cooking skillet, roaches. We like to keep things tidy wherever we stay but the broom appeared to be 10+ years old so that was a little difficult. The hose outside to spray off the sand was not very good. Place was nicely decorated and bed was comfortable. Nice to be beachfront, however, not worth it for us with all the disadvantages. We would not consider returning to this rental

If you are looking for the perfect place for a couples getaway, this is the place. Although not as modern and upscale as it’s neighbors, the location and literal steps to the beach are what makes this condo perfect!! I would highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

Location is EVERYTHING!!

We were traveling with my family (3 kids 5 and under) and it was AMAZING. Being able to walk straight out the back, grab your beach gear, and be there in 2 minutes is the reason I chose this location. I read through some of the reviews and I was surprised they said it was dirty! Could it be deep cleaned? Sure! But I’m sure your house could too. Someone said the picture was not exactly how your view would look? YES IT IS. Exactly like the picture. Sit on the back porch with view and sounds of the ocean. Sure there are dunes that block a little bit, especially since you’re ground level, but overall you can’t beat it. Paul and his wife were soooo kind and helpful with everything we needed, even coming over when we had a WiFi problem. Also, the maintenance man did everything he could to make it work for us. Overall amazing!!!! The only thing that would keep us from coming back is my wild children needing just a little bit more room to spread out. Thanks again!!!!

Great little place!

Stay was wonderful and the condo was everything I expected and more. While it is not brand new with everything updated, it is very clean and in good condition. It is VERY nice being able to park near the door and not to have to deal with stairs or an elevators like other large places. It is located in a good spot and I would highly suggest Stewby's Seafood Shanty and Hightide Seafood both of which are less than 2 minutes from the condo. Thanks for having us!

Cute condo

We had an overall good stay. The place was cute and directly on the beach. Check in was easy. Overall it was quiet and relaxing. The wifi never worked right. We were also told there was a washer and dryer however it doesn’t appear there has been one in the designated room for a while. There was also only one roll of toilet paper. Neither of these were a huge problem however it would have been nice to know ahead of time to be prepared.
