Disliked: Cleanliness
The view was great and we were right on the beach. The condo itself was okay but needed some work. The unit had pubic hair on the toilets and the floors had not been mopped. In addition a dried dirty washcloth was hanging from the shower rod. I did not contact management as I did not want cleaners coming in after we had our things in. Instead I cleaned the areas we used with Clorox wipes and we did not go barefooted in the condo.

Size of building was great. Not crowded Excellent location and security present at all times. The condo was clean but mattreses and towels definitely need to be updated. We booked this condo because it was available for a three night rental. The "bar" of provided soap was the size of a half dollar. Towels are threadbare and thin. I wouldn't use them as rags. Be sure to bring a good towel and bar of soap!

Liar liar pants on fire

The property was not what I expected. I called to assure there was a washer and dryer in the condo that we booked. I was told there is a laundry facility which cost 4 bucks to do a load wash/dry. The shams on my bed were dirty with someone else’s snot. We spent lots of time running and enjoying the beach. Also, we did not have enough towels for 6 people. Some of the plugs and lamps did not work. The best part of the place was a security guard named Dan. He was very helpful to recommend Daupin island, Mikee’s seafood, and Gulf Island Grill. Both places had excellent food. 655 was right by the elevator so you heard all the noise of everyone else coming and going.

Great view & location

It should’ve provided quality toiletries. Great location. Easy check in & check out process. It will be great to have blinders in the living room. Also, not dryer & washer machines inside the unit. That wasn’t clear enough when we booked.

Our End of summer family vacation

There was NO overflow parking, I got a citation twice, in less than 24 hours apart which I think is absolutely crazy because there was plenty of parking available and I had spoke with security more than once. If you are going to tell us to park in overflow parking then you need it available. Dishwasher didn’t work, dryer didn’t work. Every time we boiled water smoke alarm went off. Convenience was great.

Condo

Overall it was ok for an older condo. The bathrooms could use grab bars in the shower. The tub floor was slippery. Putting in the washer and dryer was a great convenience, but made it hard to get into the condo.
