Beach Place 211 Gulf Front 3 BR

I was worried after booking that there wouldn’t be three bedrooms since the pictures indicated the living room as one of the bedroom pics. So glad it actually had three bedrooms. It was a nice condo right on the beach. The only problems we had were one of the beds had dirty linens when we arrived (changed the sheets with a bed we weren’t using), the keurig water tank had mold growing in it (cleaned it myself and ran a couple of cycles through with clean water), and the ice machine (on the counter-freezer ice machine did not produce ice) had slimy black mold on the inside. The Wi-Fi didn’t work well, I ended up using my cellular data rather than hooking into the Wi-Fi. The listing said it had a new water heater but several in our group were forced to take Luke warm or cold showers. I’m not sure if the water heater is shared with other condos or it’s just really small but we didn’t have enough for our group of four to all have hot water throughout the day. The ‘problems’ were mostly to do with cleanliness and were easily fixed but just disappointing that it’s not more thoroughly checked between renters.

Parking was easy, restaurants were close by, condo was clean and the view was amazing!

We had a wonderful time and the condo is beautiful! But there are several little things that need attention or could be better. The air worked extremely well, but we could not adjust it. We had my 84 year old mother with us and it was way to frigid. The thermostat was set on 63 and the directions said not to change it. The shower curtain in the main bathroom would randomly fall down, the water dispenser in the refrigerator had a trickle of water. The ice machine didn't work, but there is a counter top ice maker. None of the light switches controlled the lamps in the bedrooms. One lamp couldn't be turned on or off with the switch, only plugged and unplugged. The sliding doors wouldn't open.Overall, it was a good experience. We had a beautiful beach front balcony view!

The condo is nice and location is great. It accommodated 6 of us perfectly with the 5 beds, plenty if room and was right on the beach. Downside: Beds are old and uncomfortable as are the pillows. The towels were also old and worn and did not feel or smell clean. The condo needs a deep cleaning . There were dirty towels left piled up in the bedroom and kids sand buckets etc.. left outside the front door. There is a chair in the living area that is black from being dirty. This has the potential to be a top notch condo with some TLC and replacing the beds, pillows and towels and removing the dirty chair in the living area.
