Overall everything was great. Perfect little getaway spot with the family. Price was on point, king bed was comfortable and the view was gorgeous.
Only reason i gave it a 4 on cleaning was it could use a little tlc but nothing i couldn't live with.
Little confusing when we arrived on where to find the key, since office was closed. Room was nice for what we was there for. Kitchen light was out, I would stay there again
My boyfriend and I stayed here for my birthday and it was just perfect. The room had what we needed and had a great view. It’s right on the beach, has a pool, and a bar with food and drink. Terry the front desk lady was kind and so is the owner of the rooms. He communicated well and made sure I had a good room. Thanks again! I’ll be back!
Myself and 3 other girls shared this condo. It was perfect for what we wanted! Really close to the bars and clubs, right on the beach with an amazing view, lots of good restaurants near by, and a great pool to sit out by! Everyone in the building was respectful and we had no issues with staff! Only thing we noticed about the condo was the dishwasher seemed to be broken and they didn’t supply dish soap only dishwasher pods. Other then that everything was great and clean! Highly recommend this spot for your spring break get away, but be aware it was almost all college age people staying in the other condos in the building.

Great Spot, Terrible Condi
The view was beautiful and the location was spot on, but the condition of the condo left much to be desired. The room was filthy. Dishes were dirty and thrown in and under cabinets, the bathroom was dirty and toilet and bathtub were clogged and both extremely slow to drain. The plastic shower curtain liner was so disgusting that we had to buy one at a nearby Walmart. The window seat was also filthy so at that point we couldn't even trust that the bedding was clean, so we bought bedding as well. Will not rent this condo ever again.
Check in was not at 4:00 as expected. The cleaning crew was running late. That wasn't a problem though, we went to Pier Park. We checked in around 5:30 & although the condo smelled like bleach it was not clean. The floors were filthy, especially in the bathroom . I swept the floor & I kept my shoes on. There was no way I was going barefoot. Sheets & pillow cases were stained with blood & ripped in 2 places . The night stands had all kind of dirt, dust & trash behind them. One was very sticky. Ceiling fan was dirty as was the bathroom vent fan.There was no soap in the bathroom to wash our hands. FYI Not that this was a issue, but there not a balcony.The Top of the Gulf itself was nice Pool are very clean & all the staff very courteous.
We wanted a quick weekend getaway before our kids school started and for the price we paid we knew it wouldn't be a luxury condo. It was inexpensive and served it purpose. We did leave early because our youngest child caught a stomach bug while there and experienced vomiting for 24 hrs straight. I am unsure what triggered it b/c we all ate the same food, however she did swallow some pool water prior to the onset.
Pro's-
Direct beach access w/ a great beach view.
Close proximity to stores and restaurants.
No Front desk Check-in process, keybox located at the door and the Owner provided the code prior to check-in.
Pool w/ ample seating available.
Owner provided a beach umbrella.
AC was noisy, but air was cold
Con's-
The Condo is in need of updating/remodeling. (Bathroom cabinets are warped, paint peeling/discolored, needs new grouting/floor scrubbing, Kitchen bench could use some reupholstering/ cleaning, random hair on the counters/floor, bathroom waterfall faucet had dirt/gunk in it. ect.)
Bathroom is very small and hard to maneuver in.
Constant bad smell in the hall leading up to the condo, but you can not smell it in the actual room.
$30 parking pass fee, but I rarely saw security at the guard shack (no gate), so pretty much anyone has access to the parking lot.
I passed by open doors of other condo's with the same layout and they looked beautiful, so this condo has all the potential to be nice, but its has seen better days and needs a great deal of updating.
My stay was very nice. Good communication with the owners.See you next year

Perfect location
We had a great stay. It was a great location and the pool area great. It had games for the teenagers a snack bar that had food and drinks. The only thing we wish the room had was a keypad so we didn’t have the keys or the key lock thing to use. We’ll definitely stay again!
It was pleasant. Didn't know we couldn't have guest visit with us.

Beautiful view !! Stay and room was ok. Definitely needs some updating and elbow grease. Very disappointed that there wasn’t a balcony and if you have trouble walking long distances, this is not the room for you. Almost needed an Uber to get there from the elevator !!
This was our first time at Top of the Gulf and we LOVED it! Very family friendly, great pool and kiddie pool with a snack shack, great outdoor seating areas and easy beach access. As for the room, it had an amazing beach view to wake up to every morning and had all of the necessities our family of 4 needed. We would definitely stay here again.
This property is just amazing we have stayed here twice now and it has been GREAT both times!!!!! If we come back next year I really hope we can stay here!!! A+++++++
I was skeptical of this room because there was not a balcony but i was able to open the window and listen to the waves while eating. It had a perfect view of the beach!!! We loved that there was not a parking garage as well. The lady in the shop on the first floor was absolutely the sweetest and helped us out when we needed it. I only gave 4 stars on the cleanliness becuase it does need a baseboard deep clean. Its not something that would keep me from coming back to the same condo though! I was able to cook supper and we had all the dishes that we needed. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this condo and the ease of access to the beach. The hosts' were easy to get in touch with and made the process smooth!
Only one elevator working on Sunday and Monday(holiday)
Long wait times for elevator
Only issue we had.
Note…elevator was working on Thursday,Fridayand Saturday
Thanks Robert
Love everything about this place except. The owner needs a new cleaning service. Floors half sweep and countertops not whipped down. Not clean behind things.
