Just As Described

The property was just as described. It was clean. Parking garage was a short distance to the property and you could park on the same level so it was easy to load and unload. Other pros: Good location View of the ocean, but not ocean front Short walking distance to the beach Close proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, and other fun activities On-site pool and hot tub Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Overall had problems-V403

The place itself was nice with the pools and beach access. However, there was sand in the bed as if the sheets had not been washed. The sofa bed had NO sheets, NO blankets and NO pillows. The fridge was HOT and took two days before a temp one was put in. I was told the owner didn't want to address this issue at first as id they didn't care. Would NOT stay in V403 ever again, but would possibly try another unit

Wonderful Week

We had a great week and loved the pools and easy ocean access. Bed was comfortable and the condo was quiet. The property was exactly as pictured and had what we needed for a relaxing stay. All standard cleaning was great but the property could use some deeper cleaning - fans, ceiling lights, etc.

Week away was nice but could have been better

Great pool options available. Room was OK but could have been more beachy in decor. Room was not as clean as it should have been. Sand on the floor, sand in the bed. Bed and couch were seriously uncomfortable. I mean really bad. Needed at least 1 more blanket and more bath towels. We were there 6 days and only had 2 bath towels each all week. We notified mgr of kitchen sink issue and balcony light not working. Not many shopping options nearby. Daily traffic was a real bummer.

Basic condo

The location is great. No beach chairs/ umbrellas come with rental, but to with other units on the property. We had a family of 4 and the property only provides 2 bath towels, so bring your own! The toaster didn’t work…I wouldn’t recommend this condo for a family, only a couple.

Amazing views and even better property manager!!!

This place is amazing!! I rented this unit for a week while working at Eglin AFB. The project was postponed for 2 weeks and the property manager, Ken Erdberg, was amazing! He worked with me as to change our rental dates without a huge cost. He went above and beyond in the customer service side!! I will definitely be staying here again when we come back.

Post Covid-19

Our overall experience was good. The unit itself was equipped with everything you would need except for extra towels and toilet paper. We had 4 people stay in our unit and only got 1 towel per person for an entire week. You only get the bare minimum to get you started. Bring extra toiletries and bath towels. The bed was comfortable, the pillows were like flat pancakes. I did not walk on the floor barefoot because after wiping the floor from the humidity on arrival, the rag I used was black so it appears that the floors had not been cleaned in sometime. The walls are thin and you can hear the people upstairs/next door pulling out the chair from the table etc… the parking was awesome and the security guy that reminds me of Rick James in the morning was so pleasant and made you feel at home.
