Perfect vacation!

Absolutely loved everything about the condo! It was so well stocked with anything you would need. The bathrooms were just redone and had plenty of plush towels. View from balcony was great. We did not have little ones with us but there were tons of beach towels, noodles, floats for kiddos as well as beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels. Tried to rent it for next year but it was booked. Will definitely try to come back!

Great location with a beautiful view. We had an issue with a couple of the beach chairs being broken when we arrived. We notified our host and, while we didn't expect it, we were brought 4 brand new chairs. The place is well kept with easy access to the beach and pool

Great Vacation!

This place was wonderful and so well decorated! The bedrooms were large and so very comfortable. We really had a wonderful time. I would say this is probably the best well equipped condo that we've stayed at in Indian Shores. There were lots of beach toys for us to use, too. The living room was a bit small but we weren't in our room very often. We went at a very busy time and the weather was beautiful. I'm sure these were the reasons that the pool & hot tub were very crowded. Also, I felt that the condo was a bit pricey. I understand the increase in fees during that holiday week, but for the size of the condo and that it wasn't right on the beach, I felt it was too high. The other weeks during the year are more reasonably priced.

What a dream! Condo and view!

Just got home, bummer! An Unobstructed view of the pool to the ocean. Access tiled balcony from both living room and master bedroom. The mattress topper was heaven, had to jot down the brand, need to buy one. Even pillows and blankets were comfy! Big walk in closet, tiled walk in shower with great water pressure, no lack of hot water either. Everything was of better quality. Checked in and out on a Sunday, picked up keys down the street, no problem there. The beach is flat and walkable. (Important for me because Gulf Shores Alabama wasn't) Balcony screen door wouldn't latch, I did call, but no one came to fix it, could've been little cleaner, but didn't let it bother me. This family of four would stay there again, the Martins of Waukesha WI

Amazing Rental

If possible I would give this VRBO more than 5 stars—one of the best I have ever stayed at! It is equipped with literally everything you could ever need for a beach vacation – I was told to just pack my sunblock and they would have the rest and that was accurate! Great location, quiet and not crowded yet very close to all of the hotspots. The beach was beautiful, clean and very family friendly. Communication and service from the owners/managers was exceptional. I cannot recommend this place enough and literally have no complaints or suggestions for improvements.

All things GREAT

The condo was up to date and very clean. Very relaxing and close to all amnesties. The only thing that I can see needed improvement- was confusing check in, was missing some info when checking in. The other thing was was a little irritating was the gate constantly slamming from all the other people coming in and out of the pool deck area. I would definitely recommend this unit to all.
