Our stay was absolutely amazing! The weather was fantastic everyday and the view from this 17th floor condo was phenomenal! The condo was very nice and clean. The host’s communication was second to none! We had a small issue with the thermostat while we were there and he responded very quickly and immediately got it fixed. We will most definitely book with Joe, the host, again in the future!
My teenage granddaughter and I had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The condo was fantastic. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. The ocean view from the living room and bedroom are breathtaking.
The owner called me on our first day to insure we were comfortable and there were no issues.
The only issue was the elevator wait. However, you get that almost anywhere you stay. I would definitely vacation there again. ~Angie Russell
Sterling Reef has a beautiful view of the Gulf. It's only a couple of blocks away from Lyndell Center which is incredible. The owner was great to work with over the time we stayed.
The owner was very responsive. We had such a good time that we extended 2 nights! The location is ideal, we saw dolphins, manatees and even a shark from the balcony!
Above expectation! Property is tastefully decorated and the location was perfect, not in the crowded area which is what we were looking for! Property owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again! 5 stars for sure!
My stay at the condo was good. The only complaint that i havr is that the elevator stop working and me and my family had to walk up 17 floors of steps. That part was a disaster. Please whenever you guys book, just make sure the elevator is working properly. The condo was perfect and the beach is always a plus.
Property owner not friendly or quick to respond. Listing said starter soaps but none in either bathroom. No sheets for sofa bed. Waited until after 6 the day after checking for someone to bring some & they left 2 bars of cheap soap hanging on the door. Horrible parking. No activities or even a place to get a cold drink besides vending. No lobby with welcoming staff. Only Garage attendant that offered no help or suggestions. Loud neighbors. Beach service guys were jerks. Tried several times to reserve chairs & kept being told to come back later Never staying there again.
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Joe’s beautiful condo! It was amazing! I absolutely loved the decor, the view, the comfort, and the cleanliness. The beach chairs/umbrella provided for the week was an added bonus that made our stay even more enjoyable! We plan on returning next summer for vacation! Joe is great to work with.
Everything you could ask for with a beautiful view!
The property is very nice. One of the nicer parking garages I have been in at PCB, not narrow or weird. The condo is nicely decorated and maintained. The beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed. Being on the 17th floor was great. The view from the balcony was excellent. Great views of the gulf, pier and beach. Even out the front door walkway a great view of the city. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presented itself.
Stayed for three months on a travel nurse contract. It was amazing! The views are to die for! The owner is the best. So easy to communicate with and just a great person over all! Will stay here again for anytime I want to stay on the beach!
Just as described. Very clean condo! Even the floors were clean! The entire condo was very well kept. Even the pool bathrooms! Loved it and we will be back!
Excellent stay! Comfy memory foam toppers, best sleep away from home. Very clean, beautiful decor throughout. Kitchen well stocked to cook. Beautiful 17th floor ocean view. Elevator wait time was reasonable this time of year. Owner was very courteous to reply to emails and sent detailed information to access the condominium. Loved that beach chair service was provided!I recommend staying here!
The condo was very nice, just like it looked in the pictures.
The process to rent the property was easy thru VRBO. The owner, Joe, was great with communication before the arrival date, especially with tropical storm Fred coming in during our stay.
The air conditioning part was kinda annoying and the most annoying was the elevator it took 30 minute to get to our room not to mention the 6-7 times we had to climb 17 flights of stairs because the elevator wS broken , also the shortage of hot water… otherwise the condition of condo was verbb ugh nice!!
The condo we rented was exactly what was listed. The owner was very responsive and helped us anytime we had questions. The view was amazing from the 17th floor. Only thing that wasnt great was the elevators they stayed busy and then sometimes 1 or both were down. So it made the wait time longer. Thats not the condo owners fault though. Joe was amazing we've enjoyed our stay this week the kids didnt wanna leave.
