The overall review of the condo was amazing. It was beautiful and the hosts were more than accommodating and family oriented. Every time we entered the premises it felt like home. The view was amazing and it was the hardest decision to leave and come back home. This will be like our hime away from home and the hosts felt more like family. We will be back again. If anyone sees the post for this place i teuly hope they give it a chance like we did to enjoy a funfilled and relaxing home to forget everything and focus on the family. It is a must for everyone and dont just take my word for it. But to tak the leap and chance to view this amazing place for their eyes themselves.

This is our 2nd year staying at "Sky High Vibes" the hosts are amazing. We had a change in plans and they were quick to respond and very accommodating. We also had a keypad malfunction, they responded in minutes with resolution. Condo very clean and they had everything you needed for vacation. They have a new beach wagon which was great to have. The coffee maker worked excellent. (Coffee pot that requires filters this is important for people looking to stay here, there were extra in the cabinet coffee drinkers have each other's backs lol)The property has had some updates since we stayed last year, which was awesome for an all inclusive feel.We didn't try the bowling place because the weather was perfect all week. Pizza from there was good and only 15 dollars. Juan taco was our favorite restaurant there.There's an ice cream shop just off the property across from the lake very good. (Sweet Cone Alabama)Souvenir shop right next to it.We enjoyed the main pool the most out of all of them. The 10th floor pool seemed like the "relax" area and our kids most certainly did not want to relax at the pool. The workers were very respectful, no issues there. Walmart right across the street easy access furst thing in the morning for groceries. Consider staying at sky high vibes, hosts are awesome and they will do what they can for you to have a relaxing vacation.

Summer 2025 Family Getaway
Our family of 5 had a great time at Sky High Beach Vibes located in Laketown Wharf Resort. The owners of the condo were very proactive and answered questions promptly before and throughout our stay. The kitchen is stocked to the max with anything & everything that you might need when it comes to prepping/cooking meals & storing leftovers. Great view of the ocean and beach from the balcony. Just a short walk to get to the beach. The information binder that the owners provide includes great suggestions for nearby restaurants as well as family friendly activities. Highly recommend this property!!

Great Baseball Week
We had a great experience staying Sky High Beach Vibes. The condo was exactly what we wanted, clean and quiet. The view from the balcony is phenomenal! The location was perfect for us (we were there for baseball) with easy access to the beach and plenty to keep everyone entertained. The hosts were excellent communicators and easy to get a hold of. Our only downfall (which is completely beyond their control) was that at least one elevator was down every day of our week long trip. We would definitely stay here again.

This property has all of the things needed for a relaxing beach vacation. It is well kept with lots of amenities. The owners did an amazing job communicating with us to ensure a great time. We appreciate all of the "extras" that are there like beach chairs, towels, wagon, etc. I would caution that there is a LOT of walking as the property is quite large (from elevators to pools to beach and so on).

Great Family Getaway!
We were very happy with the stay at Sky High Beach Vibes! Traveling with a family of 5, two adults and three kids (5, 2, 2) the setup and amenities were perfect for us for the 5 days we spent in PCB. The only challenge for us while we were there was how busy the elevators were at certain times, which Stacy and Scott note in all of their materials. It really is true, and being on the 17th floor, just do your best to be patient and plan on using the elevators sparingly if possible.Beyond that, the property was clean, inviting and totally fit our needs and Stacy and Scott were wonderful throughout, giving us great advice on good family places to check out in PCB, making sure we had what we needed while we were there and being very clear on the needs for checkout. Overall, they were among the best hosts I've ever dealt with through one of these platforms and would highly recommend them and their awesome condo for your trip to PCB!

Home away from home
Me and my husband and three children (ages 10,8,7) stayed her during off season. When we got here we immediately wanted to hit the beach and found that the place comes with everything you need or may have forgotten to pack. Scott and Stacey also had a welcome basket with dish soap and laundry detergent along with other things you would forget to bring or otherwise have to go buy. Also when we opened the cabinets we found kid cups for our three little ones. We had family staying in another unit by different hosts and we could not stop talking about the differences we were experiencing in our stays. We didn’t have to run to the store for anything but food but they had to run out the first night just to do dishes.
Most importantly when we came back for the night with our kids, we felt nothing less than safe and secure. Thank you Scott and Stacy!

Excellent condo!
I would 100% stay at this condo again. Check in was simple, it was VERY clean, in a great location, and very well stocked. The owners, Scott and Stacy, were in contact with us before our stay to make sure the check-in process went smoothly. Scott was also in constant contact with us throughout the week. The Wharf had great amenities. We found that using the public beach access 32 and 33 was easier than using the hotel's beach access. Our family had a great time and we would definitely stay again!
