The condo is great. We were there during the scare of Issac. We didnt get to enjoy the beach as much as we would have liked,they were closed due to the high wind and waves. Thank goodness for the 2 pools and the hot tub. Seth even called to check on us during the storm.It was unbeleavable to stand on the patio and watch the waves from across the street. We hope to return next year, hopefully no tropical storm next time.

Not what i expected

This vacation rental was definitely not what i expected. From all of the other reviews it seemed it would be very nice for my boyfriend and I. I do not normally complain but i feel that i spent enough for the week and it was NOT worth it. I dont even know where to begin. When we first arrived after driving 12 hours i was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed. Well that couldn't happen because when i pulled the sheets down there was a big blood stain on the sheet as well as a ton of sand in the bed. When i went into the closet to try and find more linen, all of it was rumpled in balls and seemed not to be clean. There was an extra mattress cover and bottom sheet that were still inside of eachother, like someone just took them off the bed and threw them in the closet. The comforter looked and smelled like it hadnt been washed in months. I ended up putting blankets that i had brought with me on top of the bed because i couldnt use there linens. There were burn holes on the pillow cases as well. I turned on the tv and there was a pornographic video playing in the DVD player. (completely rediculous!) There were cigarette buds on the floor in the bedroom along with hair balls and candy wrappers. The middle post in the bed is broken. Makes loud sounds every time one of us turned over. I woke up the next morning to make coffee. Opened the coffee maker and there was an old coffee filter along with old coffee grounds in it.(Gross!) I washed it and made coffee. The coffee maker leaked all over the counter and ruined my brand new purse. Started putting groceries away and pulled the drawers out of the refrigerator and there was sticky stuff all underneath the drawers, it was obvious something big had spilled and no one cleaned it up. It rained hard one of the last days and the window in the living room leaked water all over the floor. There was a HUGE puddle in the middle of the floor and got our bags and stuff all wet. There is no carpet( 2 door mats and a small rug in bathroom)in the entire condo so make sure you bring house shoes or you will feel like your walking on a locker room floor all week. There was no kitchen towels so make sure you bring your own. There were only 4 bath towels for the entire week so make sure you take your own as well. Yes the location is nice but if it rains alot like it did our week, the condo is the last place you want to be. I have stayed in far better places for the same amount of money. I was extremely dissatisfied with this place

We rented this condo as our place to stay while we got married/honeymooned in Miramar Beach and we COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER! The wedding was beautiful and we loved our stay at Gulfview. The description of the condo was very accurate, and the room was in a great spot with one of the pools right outside the door. You would think that with the pool right there that there would be a lot of noise, but we didn't hear a thing. Property was very clean and well-maintained with the exception of the dishwasher leaking some. The beach was not too far away either, being right across the street. The owner, Seth, was VERY VERY nice and accommodating and we will definitely try to rent with him again! I would HIGHLY recommend this property and this owner!!!! We personally stayed in most of the time, but we did go to McGuirre's for our wedding night and it was a blast! Definitely recommend going there—their food's pretty good and their service is awesome!
