Great location

The property grounds are immaculate! The corner unit is perfect. Great views of the gulf from living room balcony and fantastic view on bay side watching the fireworks. Only complaint we had is the living room balcony door slid horrible. Even our 11 yr old granddaughter struggled to open and close it. Very, very hard to slide this glass door open and close. The rooms were perfect size for the 3 of us and we loved the updated kitchen.

Great vacation

Our trip was great! The condo was just as it is pictured. The building is an older building but the actual condo was very nice. The pool was warm and clean. It was great just to walk out the path to the beach. There were dishes, pots and pans- pretty much anything you need to cook. The beach decorations were charming! There are many close shops and restaurants. Our only complaint is the water had a musty smell but I think this is all over the island not just at this property. The owner checked with us after we checked in to make sure everything was ok. I thought that was very kind.

Winter break

The property is clean and nicely kept and stocked. All of the comforts of home. The building property is very well kept with a nice workout room, pool and hot tub. It was unfortunate that the water heater was broken for several days, but that was not the owner's fault. Most everyone in the building took the mild inconvenience in stride. Stuff happens.

Beautiful Location For Winter Getaway

The location was great! The gulf view and short walk to the beach did not disappoint! Check in was easy and owners were very responsive. The only downside was that the unit wasn't very clean. To be fair, some of the items may have been beyond the normal scope of the cleaning staff's responsibilities. We bought some cleaning supplies and had it looking and feeling better shortly. Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Condo With Amazing Views, Location & Amentities!

We stayed in this lovely condo for 3 weeks in January 2025. The location cannot be beat, and the condo itself was perfectly appointed with comfortable beds and a kitchen filled with all the tools & appliances you need. The owners were quick to respond to any questions and concerns. Would give 10 stars if I could! Enjoy :)

The property was nice. A bit dated (the oldest building on the Gulf, we were told, so to be expected!). Condo was nice-basic. Could use beach loungers and beach towels. Heated pool was very nice. Nice people. Looking forward to coming back.

Beware of Wildlife

The property is exactly as describe which was good overall. However, there are possums on the grounds that apparently the front desks knows about. One rubbed up against my husband's leg, but thankfully when he jumped up, it hissed at him and scurried away. My suggestion is to stay away from the courtyard and pool area in the evening. It's clear that the property management isn't interested in removing the rodents. There's construction on the outside of the buidling taking place and as a result, there is cement specks all over my SUV. As for apartment 407, its a little small, but has everything needed. If you have little ones who need to take a bath, bring your own stopper as there isn’t one in the bathroom. The water drains slow in the bathroom. The internet is horrible. What made being there enjoyable is the location and the beach access. If you use the washing machine & dryers downstairs, be prepared to pay $3 per machine and the dryers dont dry clothing completely the first time around. Although there's a grocery store up the street, everything cost more on the island. I suggest going to Walmart before you cross the bridge.

Lovely, low key property in walking distance to great eats and the beach. The unit was clean and the check in staff were super helpful. The owner was very responsive when the wifi was laggy. The pillows were kind of flat, but that was minor. Would definitely stay again!

I brought my daughters to the area for all break, while the jelly fish caused a little damper to our beach days, the trips was still great. The unit was perfect for our needs, and we loved being able to see the sunrise from one balcony and the sunset from the other. We were within kid friendly walking distance to a variety of shops, restaurants and fun!!
