Noisy and terrible kitchen

1. The a/c is crazy loud. 2. The kitchen has a giant microwave on the counter, an awkward sink and faucet, ancient dishwasher that is right up against the oven door. Coffee filter basket missing. There was egg yolk on the a bunch of the dinner plates! Nasty! 3. The bathroom faucet makes everything and you wet.

Not clean and not accurate

Was not satisfied with our stay. Loved the location however description said we were allowed 2 parking passes (we had to pay for) but once there was only allowed 1.. and also very rude about it stating “not my problem” when asking where my daughter was supposed to park. Also there were lots of open parking spots and STILL was not allowed to get the 2 parking passes mentioned in description. Condo was FILTHY. Sand was still on the floor AND in the bed… although we were still charged a cleaning fee! Do not recommend at all. For the price we paid for 2 nights we should have gotten something much nicer/cleaner and more accommodating.

Needs work

Front door handle half off on front door, 1 roll toilet paper, paint peeling above TV. Been like that for awhile seen one review n still haven’t touched up. Simple stuff when you walk in spend a thousand dollars n no paint should be peeling, front door should have been correct. Wires coming out n no cover around TV . Won’t stay there again because I can get better , lot better place for the money we spent. Good location only good thing

Mommy son trip

This condo was a perfect size for my 5 year and myself but it definitely needs a paint job. The paint is peeling in several places on the walls and towel hooks for bathroom towels would help. Having kids it would have been helpful to have some plastic bowls for cereal and snacks. The blankets in the closet smelled like they hadn’t been washed and I wasn’t able to fit them in the wash machine because it’s small. Other than that we had a great time at the condo!! Great view of the ocean, nice cool air conditioning, awesome tvs, and perfect location to everything!!! Would also have loved to have a keurig in the kitchen for coffee. Thanks for a great stay!!

Good for two days at beach

Great location and access to beach. Pool is nice as well. Room was okay and perhaps a bit dated. Looked larger in pictures than in reality. Considering the amount spent, i found it odd that we are only allotted one roll of toilet, paper, and no coffee filters or coffee available. With a little more service, I would have rated this higher

Disappointed but great view

Unfortunately the bathroom was dirty when we arrived. We cleaned the toilet with bleach we purchased and noticed even the toilet brush holder had “residue” left in it. Floor had hairs on tile floor AND floor board trim. Gross. Top of refrigerator filthy. Appeared we paid top $ for a place we needed to clean first instead of enjoying the gulf after driving 21 hours to get there.
