Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location is great, the beds are comfortable, and we really enjoyed having our meals out on the spacious balcony. It was nice to have such easy access to the beach and rinsing station.I would not describe the condo or the property as luxury. The condo needs a deep clean and updates. The pool area needs renovating, especially the drainage system. There was standing water all around the pools and hot tub during our entire stay.Scott was very kind, responsive to concerns, and scheduled a handy man to fix a few issues during our stay.

Great location!

Fantastic location next to Gulf State Park. Easy beach chair rentals and not as crowded on beach. Condo is nice with what you need. Balcony is perfect but furniture out there desperately needs new pillows. “Luxury” is not the word I’d use for this property but perfectly nice and excellent location.

Already planning next trip!

Will definitely be back! The balcony view is absolutely wonderful. We saw dolphins several days while there. Beds were very comfortable which is not always the case in house rentals. Condo had everything we needed and Scott was clear in his instructions for check in / check out. Hope we can make another trip before summer is over! Thank you for hosting us!

Nice

While I would not describe this condo as a luxury condo it was fine for myself, my husband and sister in law. I agree with some of the previous reviews about some minor upgrades to improve it overall, but for us we mostly stayed on the beach and ate meals and slept here. It was a busy time of year so get a spot on the beach early. Nice being next to the state park. Restful and enjoyable.

View was great. Scott was nice. But couch was not as pictured and very uncomfortable. The place was not cleaned very well before we got there. Sand was all over the floors. Had to brush our feet off before we got in bed unless we wanted to sleep in sand. The condo did not have satellite tv, just wifi streaming tv which didnt work 90% of the time and only on the living room tv.
