The view was beautiful and the size was perfect for my friend and I. It was affordable and loved that the beach was right out the back door! Close to my favorite Hershey's ice cream spot and Parlor Donuts! Beach Service was great!

We enjoyed our stay

The actual resort was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay. We loved the location the access to the beach and the swimming pool was amazing. Staff was very friendly. The condo had everything and looked as it did in the pictures. Check-in was a breeze had all my information well before check in. The beds were not great. The cleaning should have been better, but it did not affect our stay. We enjoyed it and will visit this resort again.

The room looked good from a distance there was no balcony. The mattresses were wore out cheap ones . And there were covered with plastic. We left early and went down the street to regency towers.

beautiful getaway right on the gulf!

this room has the most beautiful view of the gulf. crystal clear waters and sugar sands are just steps away, filled with lots of wildlife. we saw hermit crabs, seahorses, sanddollars, and tons of blue crabs. the location is perfect for beach days or some shopping, it’s close to everything you would ever need. lots of great local restaurants too! owners are very friendly and respond quickly. the bathroom is a little on the smaller side, but overall this was a great experience and we will definitely be back soon!

O ly thing i can say about room , was a little out dates, could use hooks in bathroom for towels, maybe some shelving under sink, a wall clock and matching decor. No pictures mstch. Had trouble with TV, but pwners sent some right away. We will definitely stay again. Owners were always in contact if we needed anythi g.
