Best beach vacation yet
The condo was perfect for what we wanted and the beach was great. We had 5 adults ranging from 18 to 70. We had quick access to the beach and a nice patio to sit on and listen to the waves. The condo was comfortable and fully functional. The owner was also very responsive to any questions that we had. I recommend you read the materials sent to you before you arrive so you will know to bring certain things with you such as paper towels and toilet paper, but this is pretty standard with VRBOs. The beach was never crowded and extremely family friendly. The sand was nice and soft and the water was great. There were enough people to talk to satisfy the extroverts without overwhelming the introverts. We never went to the pool but it was also never overcrowded. I have a tendency to somehow sit right next to the most obnoxious drunk in the area, but we did not even see an obnoxious drunk. We brought our own chairs and umbrella, which I recommend. We were able to go set them up in the morning, go cook breakfast and nobody messed with our stuff. We went the week of July 4th and the fireworks shows were great! We will be back and will look for this same condo again.

Long weekend
Overall, it was great. No hand soap in any bathrooms, ice maker did not work, lights out in primary bathroom were the few glitches we experienced.

Needs some TLC
The facility was very nice and well kept. This is a VERY busy area with lots of people. The Condo itself needs some upkeep. We contacted the owner shortly after arrival and several time afterwards about a door that wouldnt open to the balcony, clogged drains, a broken garbage disposal and a number of other issues. In spite of sevral promised fixes, nothing was done whatsoever. In spite of the issues, we made the best of it.

Great family vacation
Our family of four brought along my mother and in-laws. We all liked having our own bathroom and the view from the balcony was amazing. All of the shops and restaurants were close by and even walking distance. Our favorite restaurants were The Hangout and Sunliner Diner. Both of them had great food and a wonderful atmosphere. The condo was super clean except for the potato chip we found in the pull out sofa. I loved that it was a short walk to the beach and the staff was friendly. I would recommend staying on this property. We enjoyed our stay. I only wish it would have been longer.

Delightful Spot
This is a well decorated space with a late eighties/early nineties vibe. Everything including beds was clean and comfortable. Access can’t be beat. Owner is super responsive and everything with which we needed help was provided including minor maintenance issue. We felt like honored guests! Property location can’t be beat for ocean view and for access to nearby restaurants. A trip to Foley was great fun too for a short excursion into a different part of the area.

We had a great time on our vacation. Listing description and pictures are very accurate. Joanne responded to inquiries quickly and sent a very helpful note with places to shop and eat. Kitchen was well stocked . Beds were very comfortable. Really loved the zero entry pool for our grandson! May seem silly, but having the shopping carts in the garage to load and unload everything was very convenient.

Very Nice
Could not be happier finally a place where the pictures are spot on Very clean close to everything. The only complaint we would have is the beach chairs are very uncomfortable and the people renting them were very rude. I realize the condo is not responsible for this just our experience. This will not keep us from coming back absolutely loved our stay already planning next year's stay at the same place!!!!!!
