Great place to stay!
This place was such a nice place to say. Steps to the beach and the pool was great! The beach equipment was great to have as well. Condo was very clean and came with everything you need for the kitchen. We loved the two enclosed balconies. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location
First off I would like to say I am not happy with the VRBO charge! I have been renting through this company and have never been charged before. I was told I would receive a credit but never did. Management company couldn’t tell me what it was for. Nor did VRBO explain the charge. Just greed. The condo was very close to a path to beach. It was great! Had an issue the whole time we were there with the heater broken on the pool so we were never able to use it. The management company did their to keep us up to date. Also, roof top deck needs a lot of repairs. We did enjoy out stay!

Very nice condo
Had a great stay here at Beach Potato. Exceptionally clean. Could have provided a few more basics like spices, cooking oil, coffee etc. We weren't told that there were beach type supplies that we could use. We discovered them for ourselves in a storage room down by the parking area. Please check this out before you buy. Some of those items were not in great shape and should probably be replaced. The pool was wonderful and we usually had it to ourselves. Beds were very comfortable. Thanks for the nice stay!

The unit was in an amazing location! So close to the beach, Publix, and other stores and restaurants. The pool was very nice even though we barely used it because the beach is so amazing here. We loved the condo! The kitchen was well equipped. Loved sitting on the porches. Thanks for a great week!

Beachside Getaway
Perfect. Location, size, furnishings, and ease of the island made our week long stay perfect! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was pretty well supplied. The walk to the beach was short and the pool was relaxing! We called the office because the air stopped running on Monday- they changed the filter while we were out and about and the unit was working perfectly upon our return. Thank you for the perfect getaway that our family needed. Booking was fast and easy.

Perfect Beach Stay
Rented this unit for one week with a friend. The pictures are very accurate. There is actually more than what is shown. A nice larger HD tv in the living room, a large stainless steel fridge. Beautifully remodeled bathrooms. Comfy sofas. Nicely appointed lanaiis, in-unit laundry, beach equipment storage area. We found most helpful the beach wagon. Although the beach umbrellas could use an update, one worked for us. The tvs all have Roku, and there is an Xbox connect. Steps away from the beach, less than a two minute walk. The access is private and the section of beach is clean and quiet compared to the public beach further down. Hose by carport to wash down feet and beach items was very useful. We didnt use the pool since the gulf was so calm and warm that week. The neighbors using the other units were all very friendly. I only have two very minor complaints. The mattresses and pillows in the second bedroom with the twin beds were very uncomfortable. I imagine it would not have bothered a 60lb kid but for a grown adult, it took a couple nights to get used to it. The pillows need a refresh. I travel with my own pillow cases and when switching I saw the yucky drool discoloration on the pillows that didnt have cases. Also, we paid for linen service and whatever service is used, they provide the worst towels I have ever encountered. The towel fibers pilled on your hands which is very obvious when you go to put on lotion. I couldn't towel dry my hair or body without getting a coating of fibers almost like fuzz all over my skin. I resigned myself to just air-drying. The beach towels were somewhat better in that they didn't pill but they were very thin and rough, not nice to lay out on the beach. The yucky towels and pillows were not enough to put a damper on what was otherwise a wonderful stay. I would def consider staying here again if the second bedroom had a full size bed or the couch was a pullout. I would make sure to leave room in my luggage for a bath towel and a beach towel. The unit is perfect for a family with two kids. All in all we had a wonderful stay and were very pleased with all other amenities, esp the cookware and dishes. A great location on the island! Thank you for providing a clean and relaxing home away from home!

First time AMI, Found Perfect Location
This is a perfect location! The property has one home between it and the beach! The unit was very well maintained, nicely decorated and exceptionally cleaned. There were plenty basic essentials provided to get started and we left a few things as well like sandwich bags & garbage bags that may come in handy for other guests. We were pleasantly surprised to be provided with beach towels as part of the linen service; although had brought ours along, it would certainly help with packing lighter next time. Considering there is the washer and dryer available in the unit. The beds were comfortable, my sister and daughter constantly commented on how well theirs felt and that they slept well. We were unsure about what was available in the storage unit (which to be honest - I missed even seeing in the listing) so I had rented a beach cart, cooler, umbrella & chairs which were delivered before we arrive and I had picked up immediately on our last full day before departure. There is some noise from upstairs guests but nothing that isn't bearable - I would definitely deal with it considering this location! It is literally right behind Publix, CVS, Walgreens and multiple restaurants that you can walk to in a few minutes. During the week we walked and drove the area and decided this was the perfect location! (Yes I have to repeat that!) Be sure you eat early, we did and was back on the rooftop most nights around 8 to enjoy the view of the sunset. It's so much cooler around this time too and a nice way to spend the evening! We really enjoyed this rental and would definitely return if we chose to visit the area again!

We love this place!
This is our third time staying in this building and second time in this condo, although previous time was six years ago and different owners. Upgrades since last stay are beautiful. We love the location and closeness to beach and grocery store. A few rugs would be helpful so there is someplace to stretch and a couple extra bathroom hooks are needed. Condo wasn't as clean as before. Walking barefoot got us pretty dirty feet and lots of dust bunnies and dirt under some of the furniture. All in all, nothing that dampened our stay. Furnishings are very nice and beds are good. Well stocked kitchen.

Great location!
Let's start with the good things - this condo is in a great location ! Easy access to the beach and the grocery store/CVS/Walgreens. You can pretty much walk to wherever you'd like. The pool was nice as well. However, if you are planning to sit at the pool and sun - the amount of sun time is limited. You'll need to go to the roof deck to get sun most of the day, or the beach. There is a nice supply of pool toys, beach chairs, etc included. The grill leaves a bit to be desired as it is a small tabletop charcoal grill. A gas grill that could be shared among the units would be great, but there isn't one. Inside, the unit is well stocked with just about anything you can think of. The master bath has been upgraded but we had issues with the electrical - breakers would trip, bathroom fan wouldn't work, etc. Hopefully, the owners can look into that. The second bathroom has not been updated and is in need! Probably our biggest issue was that the mattresses are horrible! The master bed is sitting on a wire frame - no box spring. You feel every poke of the metal beneath you and the support bars in the middle then cause you to roll out to the edges. The twin beds looked like they were from Ikea, but were a bit more comfortable and stable. It was nice to have a washer/dryer in the unit, but the porch area it was located in seemed to be in need of some stabilizing. You'd hear loud creaking noises whenever you walked out there. Overall, it's a nice, clean unit in a good location - just needs a few tweaks.
