Love the view! Nice accommodations. Only negative would be a little hard to get out and in at the Highway .Love that it was near Henderson Park so we could sit near the water and not worry about renting chairs.

We brought our family for vacation. The condo was immaculate and the view was beautiful
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2023
This owner takes great pride and care for his rental and made himself available from the beginning of the booking. It was was accurately described and perfect for our time of R & R. And what can be said for the Emerald Coast, the sand is like baby powder.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
Pros: Condo was clean, though a bit outdated. Bed was comfortable and kitchen had most of what anyone would need. Location was great and convenient to beach. Cons: Musty smell (but that’s very difficult to control being so close to beach)Toiletries were VERY cheap and limitedCheck out time is ridiculous (10 a.m.)Owner/Property owner is over-the-top with communications (which are really reiterations of their rules)Overall, just okay…..not the worst VRBO we’ve stayed at, but far from the best.
