Another amazing vacation has come and gone and we have already booked our return trip in October. As usual everything in the condo was perfect the balcony being our favorite place to watch the sunrise in the morning and listen to the waves before heading to bed. We have been coming here for several years now and will continue as we absolutely love this place.

Beach getaway

Enjoyed escaping stormy weather in North TX for some beach time. There was a continuous breeze which made it pleasant. We enjoyed our beach walks and bird watching time. Our dog enjoyed catching his frisbee in the surf. There was some seaweed and a few jellyfish to watch for.. the condo was clean and has a marvelous view.

Nice beach trip

The check in process was easy, as was parking. There are two elevators to make it simple to get to the condo. We were on the beach in no time with the beach access. We did not use the pool or hot tub. The condo could use some paint/updating, but we had everything we needed and were comfortable.

Perfect beach vacation!

We love this condo - this was our second year staying here. The view of the ocean, access to the beach, proximity to the bird & turtle sanctuary, all incredible benefits. The parking garage with guaranteed parking makes travel to multiple restaurants easy. The tidy in-house kitchen and near-by Blue Marlin market make eating in a delightful option. Thank you again to our very helpful host! We will likely return again next year.

2025 Vacay

Really enjoyed our stay. Kitchen and bathroom were stocked well and the bed was comfortable. The listing needs to be updated as it still talked about Covid restrictions. The dryer on our floor has been out of order since last summer so had to travel to other floors to do the laundry. Some floors don’t even have a washer or dryer. The hot tub on the north side wasn’t very warm and the picture on the listing is not accurate. But all in all was a good vacay. We would consider staying there again.

Can’t beat the view of this property. Could use a fresh coat of paint but overall it was ok. The bath needs to be updated, especially the sink cabinet. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hosts food recommendations were awesome.

Amazing Again

Another vacation has come and gone and yet again everything was perfect. The high tides put a bit of a damper on us spending much time on the beach but we found plenty of other activities to make this trip a memorable one. Probably the most fun we had on the trip was a new business called Sand Monsters on the north end of the island. We got to drive ATVs out in the dunes and even on a race track. It was so much fun we did it twice. Now is the hard part of waiting the 6 months till we return.

Great Beach View!

My husband and I stayed here last minute due to our Cancun trip (for our 20th anniversary) being cancelled due to a hurricane. The condo was cute, well equipped for our needs and the view was breath-taking!! The only issues we had were with the complex/building as they only had one operating elevator (the other was broke) and since this condo was on the 9th floor that made things a bit frustrating and there was NO restroom at the pool which was on the 3rd level which was quite strange. Then on our last day, the building lost power at 6:30am but thankfully they had a generator to run the elevator so that we could check out on time. We would definitely return as the building issues weren't the hosts fault.

My wife and I stayed at the end of August and the Beache & location was awesome. The beaches, condo and town were everything and more of what we expected - definitely going to go back. For only being a one bedroom the Condo has a great layout which provides plenty of room for a mid-size family or a couple couples. Would recommend this location to anyone!!

Nice Condo

The actual Condo was very nice and provided a great view and home base for our vacation on the island. Owner was very quick to take care of issues and change out towels when needed. The building is still struggling with maintenance, this was our second year in a row where one of the elevators was out of service for the our entire stay there and this lead to crowded elevators and long waits.

Much needed relaxing stay

My husband and I stayed here for a week and it was everything we hoped it would be. The pictures don't give that view from the balcony justice! The host was wonderful to communicate with, the property was clean and had everything we needed. Honestly, we spent most of the time soaking in the view and the breeze on the balcony. We also did a helicopter tour of the beach at the suggestion of our host and it was incredible, so thank you for that. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get away from it all and just relax.

Very comfortable for a family of four

We have stayed at this complex before, so we knew it was right on the beach, with excellent views and balconies. This particular condo is on the 9th floor, which didn't pose a problem since all the elevators were refurbished and working. One reason I love the Inverness is the ease of parking. You park on the 1st or 2nd floor and have immediate beach access. That makes it so easy to keep all the sandy beach items in the truck and you don't have to haul them up to the room. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off everything before coming up. The condo itself was as described. The decor is pretty plain, but this doesn't bother me at all. The master bed was comfy. The main reason I chose this condo was because it had two separate sleeper sofa beds. My teenage boys each had a bed which was great, and there was plenty of room for all 4 of us in the condo. Kitchen had everything we needed, including a Keurig, which I love. (There are both coffee makers: drip and Keurig). There was a hair dryer if you needed and plenty of towels. We had an great time at the beach! We will definitely be staying here again for the double sofa and excellent price.

Nice for a weekend!

Great location! The size of the condo was perfect for just my husband and myself. The balcony overlooking the ocean was spectacular. Easy check-in and the key code entry for front door made coming and going a breeze. Condo was especially well equipped with everything we could have possibly needed. The only downside is the parking. Though the building has a parking garage, we had trouble with other guests carelessly hogging more than one spot. Where there should have been 3 spaces (lines are clearly painted), only two cars would fit because people can’t, or won’t, park correctly. But, this is absolutely NOT the fault of our host. The condo was perfect for us, and our host provided us a wonderful list of places to eat and things to do. She hit the mark with them all! We will definitely be returning.
