Reviewer Comments:
End unit so it had extra windows. Nicely decorated. The building was one close to the Gulf. Down from the pool so not much extra noise. Very family friendly. Could use some touch ups such as get rid of the old and dirty popcorn ceiling, needs new paint (lots of scruff marks on the walls), needs caulk around tub/shower. Only one frying pan. You need to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, soap. Chair and umbrella rentals are $45 per day. You need to reserve BEFORE you get there. Give yourself extra time to get around town; traffic is very congested. Located about 2.5 miles from a grocery store.

Loved the setting. Good view of architecture and pool with gulf backdrop. Cozy veranda for coffee...relaxing. One issue was the disturbingly loud noise of all the A/C condensers. Resounded loudly in the courtyard. But, great stay, otherwise!

Reviewer Comments:
It was beautiful. The condo was really nice only thing they should had curtains in the small room because the light thats on the building is very bright. And should get better sliding doors for the living room. Other than that we wished we would of stayed longer.

Roaches from start to finish during a six day stay. Condo needs a lot of maintenance. Appliances broken. Balcony door won’t close. Master shower plumbing clogged. Management company Alecia Hollis nonresponsive.
