Perfect condo for a family of 4

We loved our time at this property. It was beautifully decorated, and the space was used well. We had a couple of incidents where we needed maintenance (wasp nests out on the balcony) and they were very responsive and came quickly. Also, you won't find a better location! I hope to be back sooner than later!

Perfect for 2

This condo is adorably decorated & perfect for 2. Not very large but the view is amazing. Bed is comfy. Check in & out was very clear. Elevator on property was nice. Parking was easy and you aren't far from shops restaurant or beach access! All in all I would stay here again!

Excellent Property and Location

With having several trips on the agenda for the year, this condo fit nicely into our budget. It’s proximity and private access to the beach was perfect. I might also add that we enjoyed seeing the ocean from our balcony as well. The condo was very clean and met my overall standards of cleanliness. This short trip has made us 30A lovers!

Wonderful views and restful stay

The property was clean and master bed comfortable. The bathroom was okay but could use a grab bar on the wall just outside the tub as we had some difficulty getting in and out of that tub. We asked about a Kurig but that was not answered or we could have brought our Kcups from home. The unit was quiet even for the first week which was Spring Break and Easter weekend.

Porch Time

The view from Porch Time is as advertised and the best view of the Gulf in our many stays at Gulf Place. A tight fit for more than just a couple so if have kids might check out a two bedroom condo at Gulf Place. Close to several of our favorite spots right of 30A including Shunk Gulley, The Perfect Pig, Pizza by the Sea and Pecan Jack's. Love the proximity to the beach (a 5 minute or less walk). Sandpiper Property Management was responsive to our only maintenance need (Cable TV / wifi issue) and helpful with our request to extend our stay one more night (with a discound i might add)

We loved the location and view of this Condo! Nice to be able to walk or ride the bikes everywhere

The property was fully furnished with all necessities . The property is just the correct size for two adults . View from balcony was fantastic . The Condo was very clean and comfortable . The sliding glass door and screen doors were worn out and we had difficulty opening and closing the door . We called maintenance and they were quick to come out. Very nice. Basically the doors need new rollers or just new doors. Other than that everything was great. Property managers were very nice and accommodating ! Would definitely consider renting this property again.

This condo has a wonderful view. Location to bike trails is perfect. N

The condo has a noticeable odor upon entering the room. It smells as though a cat or wet dog had lived there. The couch is dirty and has some kind of per hair on it. Needs replacing. The master bedroom has dust balls hanging from the ceiling. The place needs a good deep cleaning the tub/shower drain is very slow draining and we stood in water as we showered. We stayed a month and our clothing started to smell like the odor of the condo. Suggestions are: please deep Clean the condo. Remove the carpet in the bedroom and hallway and the carpet in the living room. All very dirty and smelly. The utility room is full of dust. We stayed the month of Feb and expected the condo to be clean and odor free. Our friend visited and had an asthma attack while in our condo. We truly love 30 A and all that it has to offer nearby. The pool was clean and warm and beach access is great. The condo we stayed in last Feb at Gulf Place Cabana was so nice in comparison, that is why we came back. Please clean up 403 and we’d return.

Beautiful Place

We absolutely loved our stay at Gulf Place. It was the BEST vacation spot we've ever been to. We ate some of the best seafood, walked along the ocean to see the most beautiful sunsets, rode our bikes along highway 30A, and so much more. Positive note - we arrived on Sunday and did not get into our vehicle until Friday when we left to go home. The bikes were a HUGE bonus with this property. We WILL be back!

Beautiful View

Porch Time was a great stay. (We loved the Gulf Place area. The private beach access was great and so convenient with a beautiful, clean beach.) The condo is small. Enough room for a couple or a couple with small children. Otherwise, it's cramped. I felt like it was clean. A few items (heating and air grates, toilet paper holder) were rusting and needed replaced. Porch door was VERY hard to open and close. Kitchen was stocked but dated with old appliances. Overall, We enjoyed our stay at Porch Time and would stay there again.

Our stay

Nice, clean. A little outdated. Much smaller than anticipated from pictures. All marketing should include sq footage of property. ADDRESS WAS WRONG on web. Had to call for correction. Previous reviews suggested the tv was difficult to operate. It was! Had 3 remotes, we used 2 to get local networks but that's all we could do. We were told there would be directions for the tv. There were not. Location was good. Parking good. The rest of the directions and information about the property were spot on.

Fun time with friends!

The condo was nice. It could have been a little cleaner. Several cob webs hanging from ceiling. Please leave more garbage bags for renters. Otherwise, bed was comfortable, furniture was nice. If you have children there are a lot of breakables. However, the Beach decor was cute. Would rent again.

Wonderful location beach across the street - tv is complicated.

Pro: -Location- private peach entrance 5 min walk away. Not crowded! Umbrellas easy to rent -pretty decorations -barn door by bunks to give that area privacy and quiet. - walkable to Jacks ice cream, pizza place, little beach shops. On the bike path all along 30a - less crowded than seaside area- which I liked. Parking was easy even if not reserved. - lots of towels, great sheets, kitchen stocked with many things! Cons -needs a deep clean. Beautiful decorations but they get dusty. When you have such quick turn times I don’t think there is time scheduled to really get a good clean. I would remove half the table decor so you have more room to put your stuff in a small space and then it won’t collect dust. Same with wall decor. And floor candle sticks etc. less is more in a small space - tv system is very complicated - I imagine seniors would have trouble with it as well. Because it’s internet TV not cable, it would stall out during peak times. The olympics would freeze up every few minutes. It became not even worth it to have on. Even Roku would be easier than this system. It’s just slow and cumbersome. If you don’t need it though then it’s not a con! For us we wanted to see the olympics and we couldn’t Management company was responsive and helpful when contacted about an issue regarding an odor on the couch. Overall a good place, great location and just needs a good deep clean and new cable system to be amazing. Well decorated.
