All the thoughtful touches
The property owner made this condo feel more like a home than a condo. Decorated softly without the overwhelming tacky beach theme. Little touches like soft throw blankets, extra shelves in the bathrooms, and a sweet little guestbook. Very cozy.

We had a great time. The condo was exactly what we wanted. It was very clean. It was right at the elevator so we just stepped out and be right there. The only thing I would do to condo is get some black out curtains for bedrooms for people who like to be in a dark room.

Five night stay. Hostess Melody provided great communication. No issues with getting in the condo. Condo was well appointed and had everything we needed. Decor not overly 'beachy', but not needed since the beach is right outside the door. Only issue was the stench of pot coming from neighboring balconies but than can happen anywhere... Overall excellent location, close to restaurants and entertainment. Will definitely return next year.

Great location, terrible condo
When we checked in the condo was not clean. Melody tried to accommodate us. The location of the condo was fantastic being right on the beach, however the walls were very thin. This condo is also located right outside the elevator and you can hear everyone talking. The amount of space in the condo was great for our family of four and we enjoyed the balcony the most, seeing lots of dolphins. The appliances are rental grade or less. The toaster doesn't work, the dishwasher is rusty, but the biggest issue I had was the mattresses. The king mattress was the worst mattress I've slept on in probably 30 years. It was a spring mattress that sounded like something you would put on a fold out sofa bed. If you want to sleep on your trip, don't book this condo. The bathrooms looked nice but the toilet in the kids room wouldn't flush most of the time and would continue running most of the night. We could hear every other condo flush their toilet and hear them through the vents. The pool/ hot tub wasn't heated. Going in march that was part of the reason we booked this condo knowing the gulf would be colder. The kitchen had a good amount of items to cook with but one wash cloth and one hand towel that were very warn. The oven also didn't heat well and didn't cook food properly. It looks nice, but if you can't sleep or use the appliances why not find another condo with the same location that treats it more than a "rental".

Cozy condo to rent!
We adored our stay here! Melody is an amazing host, was super quick to reply and work with. We had all the amenities we needed here. The location was wonderful!! Quick and easy beach access, 5th floor, never any lines for elevator when we visited in Aug. The view was gorgeous, comfy beds, we felt right at home here and we would def rent here again! Our family had the best week when we rented. Thank you Melody!

Excellent beachfront property
We were here for softball nationals for my daughter. The location was very convenient to the fields and the property was quiet for good rest. We enjoyed walking out of the building to the pool and white sand beach. The inside of the condo was very comfortable with all the comforts needed. The stylish tile Showers were amazing after hot days at the ballpark. The washer/dryer in the unit is excellent. I spent many hours on the balcony relaxing watching the ocean and listening to the waves. Highly recommend. Owner is very communicative.

Great little condo 2 bedrooms. Right in middle of everything. Most important to us it was just a few steps with items to lay out for the day. Very close to water. That’s a huge plus for our family.

As older folk, we loved that the beach was small and quiet - it was not a long walk to get to the water. The area was clean and quiet - perfect for those looking for a quieter pace. Condo was clean and just as described. Would definitely stay here again.
