Vacation in Paradise

The location was absolutely perfect, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The home had everything we needed & it was such a great location that we really had no reason to even leave the property. The pool was clean, guests were respectful, and the patio with grills was a great hangout for us. We will definitely be back!

No surprises

The condo was described accurately in the information given by Home Away. For 2 people it was a good size. The pool was heated and was popular with many of the tenants. The beach area was never crowded which was great! Have quarters ready for the washer and dryers. We had a great month in unit 311

Sweet beach retreat!

Robert and Tetyana have been the best VRBO hosts and were most accommodating when I had to reschedule my trip, twice, due to a family illness. Third time was a charm and their sweet little place was so clean, welcoming and had everything I needed for my stay. The bed and pillows were so comfortable and the beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and cooler were all put to good use. The location was absolutely perfect with a beautiful, white sandy beach as you exit the condo. The only thing I did miss was a view out the windows (they open to condo's interior courtyard), but in the end it didn't matter as I didn't spend much time inside anyway. I loved my stay so much, I even extended it a couple extra days. Thank you both for a wonderful trip and you will definitely hear from me again!

Right on the beach!

Great value right on the beach. The property had several things to use while at the beach which was helpful so that we didn’t have to bring much. The property was clean and the owner was very helpful prior to checking in. The unit does not face the beach but we spent most of our time outdoors so that did not matter to us. The walk to the beach is steps away from the unit. And the beach is sandy with lots of shells and not crowded at all. The location is also just minutes from several restaurants and shops. The only thing that was tricky was the parking. It’s across the main road and there is not a light or crosswalk, so getting across to the parking spot with 2 little ones was sometimes a challenge. That being said, it would not deter us from renting here again. Overall we would recommend this unit and would happily stay here again.

Super Location, Clean Apartment

The apartment is in a super location - just go down the elevator, go to the right through the pool area and you are on the beach with a beautiful view of the ocean. The apartment and building are very quiet and the people in the building are very friendly. It was great to have an on-site office where we could speak with someone if there were any issues (there weren't any issues, however). The apartment was also very clean which we appreciate. The owner was very quick in responding to our questions. There are many restaurants nearby. The apartment is an interior unit, so you do not have a beach view or a street view. The window in the living room did not open - it would have been nice to be able to open the window and get some fresh air in the living room, but this wasn't a huge issue. We were able to open the bedroom window and get fresh air in the bedroom. We really enjoyed the opportunity to stay on the beach in Florida and temporarily escape the frigid midwest!

Like staying in a DUNGEON

This condo is located in an interior airshaft, four walls surrounded by four walls. There is no exterior view other than looking at the front doors of other condos that face the outside. The garbage shoot for all condos is located on the back wall of this condo, which is the bedroom, so you hear everytime throws their trash in all 77 condos. All 77 condos have access to the ONE elevator. Their is only one Handicap parking space for entire complex. This condo was recently renovated very tastefully BUT no matter how much lipstick you put on a PIG it is still a PIG

Perfect weekend getaway!

The apartment was cute, comfortable, clean, & had everything we needed for the weekend. They even had beach towels, chairs & umbrellas, so no need to bring. No beach view from room didn't bother us at all as we already knew it from the description. Robert was easy to contact & replies right away. Parking is across the street but was not an inconvenience until it was pouring down rain. We had left our umbrella in the room, so that's our fault! Maybe wouldn't recommend to someone who is elderly to cross the street, but it really was not a big deal to me & my teenage daughter. We immensely enjoyed our short stay & would stay again! Can't beat the price for a short getaway on beachfront property.

Steps to the beach is the draw

older building that could use a face-lift. Some parking is across the busy Gulf Blvd. One elevator for 7 floors. One small hand sanitizer in lobby during Covid . Unit was well equipped and very clean but in the middle of the building with a concrete wall view. Area is quiet and drivable to stores etc or 15 min walks to 7/11 !and a pizza shop. If u rent from a private owner they must be contacted for any issues not the on-site office. Older crowd hereby some young ..families . Charcoal grill and small fishing dock that is across the street. Our unit was described properly however I disliked the location in the building.

Clean room

I rented the property so my wife could have a week at the beach before she goes in for back surgery. We had to leave our week long rental after the first day because the bed was hurting her back so terribly that she was unable to sleep. This was no fault of the owner. Given my short stay I can only advise of the room’s cleanliness and that it has all the kitchen utensils you will need for your stay.
