The room was clean and we enjoyed being beach side. It was also quiet there. The bed was comfortable and we are picky about a comfortable bed. We didn't use the pool, so can't leave a review for it or the gymThe parking wasn't good. We were paranoid each time we left that we'd return and there would be not parking for us. The instructions said to "park in front of the building" and there were not enough places for everyone and there is no other place to park. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

It's perfectly located , clean and quite. There is covered parking if you desire that. As always the case with rentals of this nature the furniture is either too soft or too hard lol. Any questions or problems Brooks and shorey are on it quickly.

Great Location

The location was great, the rental was spacious. The rooftop pool was wonderful. Our unit had a Murphy bed which was a big hit with the kids. The check-in and out process was simple and hassle free. The only mild inconveniences at the time of our visit was the elevator not working for a short time, and the smell of our rental when we first arrived. The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall a great time!

Beautiful and clean room, great location.

Me and my husband went to celebrate our anniversary and we had the best time. We wanted to stay in a small condo with not as many people and we were completely satisfied. Easy beach access and the location is great. We were not right in the middle of town, but close enough that everything was easily 5 or so minutes away. Our room was spotless and check-in/check-out was super easy with great instructions. The listing was spot-on accurate and there were no surprises. We also had Alexa equipped in our room and we could ask anything from pool codes to where were the best places to eat. Will stay again!

Overall this was a very good property. I would recommend it. Some of the positive highlights were the small size of the building in general made it a quieter area. The view was incredible and the property was clean. The master bed was fairly comfortable. The communication with the property manager Brooks & Shorey Resorts was prompt and helpful. The pool on the roof is an exceptional amenity, fun and very unique. Some small suggestions for the future would be some updating including: the kitchen area- cabinets, counters and refresh on the living room chairs. Also a little more contemporary decorating would go a long way - four large pictures were haphazardly hung in the bedroom and were not centered. Condo could use some new barstool cushions etc. Also a few more thoughtful things like coffee filters and maybe a small bag of coffee for the first night/morning. None of these were major but these small touches are important and for the price point probably necessary updates. Also, the fitness room had pictures from 1994/1995, a VHS player with the workout videos "The Firm" from 2001. We used that space but 1000 from the HOA fees could probably do wonders for an update/refresh. The main reason I gave this four stars instead of five is the checkout time of 10am. Even then we had a knock on the door from the cleaning staff at 9:30 (and although she was very sweet), a 10am checkout on vacation is already early so to feel rushed at the end was a little disappointing.

The book with things to do. We didn't find it under the tv stand until the last day. Maybe it would be better displayed on the kitchen table to see when you first come in the condo.

Location, Cleanliness, View...all terrific!

This property was fabulous! The location is perfect to just walk right out to your chairs and sit for the rest of the day. It was spotless and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well-equipped, but we didn't cook at all while there. We love this beach as there aren't high rises and it's a pretty easy drive over the bridge to Destin restaurants. HIGHLY recommend Boshamp's for fresh seafood! We make regular trips to the many beaches and this location and the condo itself would be on our top 5 for us as a couple within the 7 hour drive from home. The *only* improvement I could recommend is the lighting in the master bedroom. It's so very dark in there, which is just where the bedroom is location with no real windows. But, just changing the lighting to a more natural bulb instead of the harsh LED bulb would soften it up more...or just lamps on the side tables.

Mini beach get away

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was exactly as advertised. Clean and well stocked. New kitchen coffee makers, plenty of kitchenware and towels. Condo was fantastic. Building has issues!! Elevators only work half the time and will never come to the 7th or 3rd floors. There was an alarm going off loudly in the lobby the entire time we were there. Took pictures and sent to property management several times, no one came out. Lock on pool gate does not always accept codes. Got locked inside pool with other guests. Finally box opened gate.
