Life is Better with Sand Between Your Toes! Gulf Front Condo

Had a wonderful time! Some difficulty with communication before check in and before check out.

Lovely layout! Clean (mostly). Beach access was wonderful and the condo was well appointed with dishes, pots and pans, extra linens and pillows, shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Balcony has a nice 180 view of the bay and the Gulf. Quiet. We will be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First off Paradise Beach Rentals is the most trustworthy rental company we have ever dealt with. This review is not a reflection of them. When we checked in the ice maker on the fridge was broken. No big deal it still makes ice in the freezer but we wanted to report it so we weren't accused of breaking it. The cable on the living room tv would also not work. We reported both and Paradise Beach homes had a maintenance man there within the hour. He said someone else would have to look at the ice maker. That repairman came the next day and said he would have to turn it into the owner. Never heard anything else the rest of our trip. Again not a big deal to us, but be aware it probably still isnt fixed. Mediacom was supposed to be there on Wednesday but they never did show up, so I doubt the tv still isnt working. We took our firestick with us so we had tv. The tv in the second bedroom doesn't even have a cable box for it so that tv doesn't work either if thats important to you. The faucet on the kitchen sink is pretty touchy to get to shut off. The worst part of the trip was the elevators in the complex. The west elevator had issues the entire time we were there. The repair man was there and had it working. The day we checked out we had our two carts and ourselves in the elevator on floor five. The door closed and moved about a foot down and stopped with us trapped inside. Thirty minutes later the fire department had to get us out of the elevator. After talking with maintenance they have had trouble with this elevator since the snow storm. This elevator should be removed from service until they can be sure it is fixed. Also the patio could use some better furniture and is actually kind of small for a two bedroom condo.

Huge problem though - with a condo that sleeps five there is just a very tiny apartment size washer/dryer combo. Literally you can fit 3 towels, plus maybe a few wash rags, in the washer. Then the dryer will take 2 full drying cycles to get the towels dry. We spent the week putting on loads of towels everytime we walked in the condo. Really need a better washer and dryer.
