Terrific Condo

Love this condo! Just a short walk across the street to the beautiful beach. What the beachfront condos don't have though is a dockside view of the marina and all the waterfront activity happening there. The condo itself is roomy and super comfortable from the beds to the kitchen. Great Sushi/Thai restaurant just a block south. Can't wait to stay here again.

The 7 of us arrived very late the night before Thanksgiving to find a clean - accurate to pictures and description - condo. All we had to do was make the pull-out couch and the roll-away (which we didn't end up needing). There were clean sheets and blankets provided as promised. All of us slept comfortably and were able to enjoy the pool and walk across the street to the Gulf beach or two blocks to St. John's Pass for restaurants and shopping. There were ample towels and beach towels provided and even beach toys for the kids - much appreciated. With the washer and drier we were able to stay on top of laundry needs. Good thing we were warned that dish soap, laundry soap and toiletries were not provided, as we knew to bring samples or to add them to our grocery list upon arrival.

We received emails with links to attractions and restaurants and instructions for the lock and combination and how to leave the condo. All was explained very well and always came with phone number and/or email address if we had any questions or if anything was not proper. We were warned that we would not find coffee, filters, condiments, etc., so we went grocery shopping immediately.

Recommendations: It would be nice to find salt & pepper and complimentary coffee/tea upon arrival. Both kids and adults loved the Dolphin Quest tour and dolphin sighting. The guide was very informative and entertaining. We would recommend making reservations at the restaurants if you have a party of 7 as we did.

Cleaning recommendation: Dust on top of pictures and table tops maybe occured because the condo was unoccupied for a time, but otherwise, the condo was clean and well maintained. Plastic glasses in the cupboards had to be washed and still were not good. The glass glasses were great, and there were enough plates and bowls, pots and pans and silverware for whatever you wanted.

We would recommend this property to friends and/or relatives as a good place to take your family.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

We booked this place on the day we were checking in and it was all becuase of the extremely responsive property manager. They made it so easy. Liz was very available, even at 8am. The property is nice and clean. It is really big and has all that you need. It is right across the street from the beach and a few steps from all the shops and resturants of Johns Pass. We had rain all day the first day and the property managers were very accomodating and allowed us to have a late checkout. So nice. We had a great time. Comfortable, clean, and close to everything.

Recommended for: families with young children
