Lovely weekend getaway
We loved staying in this condo. The convenience of being on the 1st floor was great. The room was decorated so nice and beds were very comfortable. Pool area was also really great. We would definitely stay here again.

Girls trip
Melanie was a great host. Her place was very well decorated and well stocked. Beds were comfy. The complimentary beach chairs and umbrella were a nice bonus. The condo complex was really nice and the pool area was clean. There were a few things that needed attention however. Upon opening the door there was a very strong mold odor, not from the humidity. After looking around we found mold by the AC unit, the patio door, dishwasher and on the ceiling throughout the condo. The bathroom vent had visible dust and the ac unit filter was filthy. There was a Shark HEPA filter in the condo and that had a dirty filter as well as dust all over the vent.The patio screen door was stuck in its track so it was very difficult to open to let fresh air in. We did let Melanie know and she sent her cleaning gal over to change the AC filter and gave us air freshener to mask the smell I did forget something and Melaine did sent it back to me AsAP. .

Great Value!
This was our first time staying with Melanie, but definitely not our last! The condo was exactly as described and shown in pictures. Very clean and nicely decorated. No beach view from the room, but we knew that going in. It’s conveniently located closest to the pool/lobby on first floor (literally 20 steps from the pool) and about a 45 second walk from the room to the beach chairs. Plenty of bath towels provided for our stay. We will definitely be booking again. We never bought anything from the snack bar, but other guests raved about it. They have a convenient ice machine (Very reasonably priced) to fill up coolers on the way to the beach. Hershey’s ice cream shop right outside the parking lot and an Alvin’s island across the street. Very convenient location. Easy check in/out process. Melanie was very proactive when sending info about our stay. The ONLY negative thing we encountered (at complex, not the room itself) was the amount of gnats in the trash chute room that flowed into the hallway/lobby. This was not an issue in the room, but slightly annoying when walking to the pool and taking out trash- but it’s hot, humid, Florida and I guess is an expectation.

Great Place!
We went from a Fri-Mon and it was the perfect size condo for the 2 of us! The location is so close to the entrance of the building & and the access to the pool area. The added benefit of having chairs and an umbrella as part of the rental was amazing too….. saved money and saved us from having to bring our own chairs. My friend and I have already discussed that we would be HAPPY to rent this place again!

Enjoyed the chairs
Overall, disappointed in the condo. I've never seen a smaller bathroom. Condo could use a good cleaning. I have pictures of mold on the walls and other places. Could use a little TLC. The room itself and the décor was nice. Fan over the bed only had slow speed. Had everything we needed in the condo for a pleasant stay (big closet, pots, pans, towels, etc.) Pool area was great and close to the beach. Mentioned that there was no view of the beach. I'd assumed from the pictures, that the wall by the pool just blocked the view since we were on the ground floor. Come to find out we had a view of the parking lot. I have about seven pictures I would include if it let me.

**Location and Detail**
The attention to detail on this room is second to none. The room was absolutely stunning and had all we needed. The beds were so cozy!!! We really enjoyed the beach chairs that were provided. The resort has a location where floats are left for guest to use which I thought was an excellent idea. My daughters loved it and we would love to come back again.

Close to beach!!!
We are a family of four that stayed here for a long weekend. It was perfect for that. Very close to the pool and the beach but you can’t see either from the unit. We e stayed in numerous VRBO units and this one was the easiest to get in and out of, and the easiest to the pool and beach. Chairs being included was a huge bonus. Loved the décor, bedding, etc, would definitely stay here again!

Anniversary trip
Room was very nice and clean. Exactly as pictured. Repairs had recently been done and not completed. Patio was not as pictured at all. I was looking forward to relaxing on the patio with morning coffee and all that was there was a big picnic table. Not very relaxing. Pics need to be updated.

We loved our stay here. Melanie was so kind and has the best communication I’ve ever had with any other host. The condo was very nicely updated. It’s such a huge plus that this unit is on the ground floor; no elevators! The included beach chair service is a game changer.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Relaxing weekend. This unit is very close to parking and the pool/beach access. We enjoyed being able to quickly go back to the room from the pool and beach. If you don’t mind not having a beach view then this is the rental for you. We loved our stay. The beds were very comfortable. The beach decor is very cute. The beach service being included was also very nice. The cabana boy quoted $40 a day before finding the prepaid reservation. Melanie was very quick to respond when I had a question.

Family Vaca Summer 2021
Condo was beautifully decorated and clean. The umbrella/ beach guy was awesome………. However part of why we chose this condo was it had a private patio. When we got there it was blocked off and not able to be used. I messaged owner and she said she would find out and get back to me. I never heard back. Most others were blocked off too and some were opened up. I think they were doing something with the roof it looked like. But communication would have been nice and knowing ahead of time. We would have chose a room with a view instead had we known we couldn’t walk outside and get the fresh air from our room. We did a lot of homework when searching for the right place to pick and spend our vacation and what’s important to us. Also wasn’t discounted for the lack out luxury either. We also had to contact a few days later for the code to game room, but owner was responsive for that and the gym code though. I was not impressed with front desk, guard staff or elevator appearance. Overall I personally would not stay at Top of the Gulf again.
