Hidden Gem

I typically like staying on the ocean, but decided to go with this condo on the bay. I'm so glad I did! I watched the sunrise every morning, while enjoying the Florida wildlife! Beautiful place and I'll definitely come back! Plenty of amenities for your beach vacation.

Great time at Blissfull Bay

Condo well stocked although we had a few issues with TV cable and parking tags but they were handled promptly and completely. Property Mgmt. was very responsive. Furniture (sofa) wasn't very comfortable and the patio furniture needs to be replaced but the beautiful bay view and daily visit from local birds was such a treat!!

Great place

The unit was very clean and worked great for us. Nice having the two rooms with three beds and two bathrooms. Having the starter kit of dish soap, sponge, shampoo, etc was great! The pier/dock over the water was very close to our unit so my husband could fish. The Gulf was a fairly short walk for me. The only thing that I would definitely add would be beach chairs. There were two small coolers which was nice!

Blissful Bay

Condo clean, view beautiful. We have been coming vacationing at Runaway Bay since 1993. Very familiar with location and area. This is the first condo at Runaway I felt was very short on basic house hold needs. No scratch paper, pens or pencils. Absolutely no salt/ pepper, basic kitchen needs. We are accustomed to having a few paper plates, garbage bags, a few laundry soaps, dishwasher soaps. Things to get us over the first day, move in chaos. It’s an additional expense to add coffee filters and basic needs. Items we’ve always had. Overall I felt the condo itself was welcoming but the lack of any basic household needs wasn’t. Judy Bird

Runaway Bay Condo

*Property managers were very accommodating and easy to deal with *Condo only came with THE basics ~ other rentals we’ve stayed in the past had things like leftover trash bags, Ziplock baggies, laundry soap, coffee filters and other things that were left behind and that was nice because we didn’t have to buy everything *so many ants everywhere ~ maybe some baits? Had a bad scare in the bedroom with some large groups of ants because we thought they were bed bugs!! *many beach supplies were in the closet
