Beautiful Condo!
Very beautiful condo and has a nice scheme to it as soon as you walk in! Host was awesome with communication before, during, and after our stay. We had no issues and love Top of the Gulf! Shower had great pressure, had everything we needed in kitchen, Roku TV was great for relaxing at night time with tons of channels, and the bed was comfortable with really nice sheets and down comforter. We will be back again to stay! 10/10!

Condo issues
We noticed a strong musty smell as soon as we arrived which eventually got into out clothes. We also could not sleep at night due to the A/C unit being so loud. The cable would lose signal every 5 to 6 minutes and would take 2 to 3 minutes to come back on. All of these issues was relayed to the owners.

Not as pictured online. Sort of rundown.
Ceiling outside the door was literally falling and all electrical wires were exposed.
Online description makes you think view is more than it really is. You have a great view of the parking lot and if you can turn your neck enough you have a side shot of the beach off in distance.
Place needs some updating. Otherwise ok place if you aren’t looking for something really nice and upscale. Lady at checkin was telling each person same thing “oh your room has an awesome view- you will be looking down at the fish from
That view” ummmmm nope- unless there are fish in parking lot.

My family enjoyed staying at Top off the Gulf Neither the beach nor the pool was crowded which was really nice with 2 small children. The property overall was fairly clean. Elevators were not a big issue either. No long wait and fairly quick. We really enjoyed staying here for our last minute getaway. The owners were really nice and communication was great. Would definitely recommend staying here in the future.

Decent
Everything was good. It was clean and the listing was accurate to the property. However there was a smell that we couldn’t get rid of. Mold possibly? Although we never did see any mold. But beyond the smell that we tolerated because we spent most of the time at the beach, the property was nice. We enjoyed the pool.
