Great Getaway
Every part of our stay was outstanding. Communication with our host Karen was smooth and easy. All her instructions before arriving were really helpful. The condo sits at the very rear of the complex. Easy access to the beach is an understatement. The stunning views from the balcony are second to none. The fact that the host provided chairs and an umbrella were extremely helpful. The property is equipped with everything one would need for a relaxing stay.

Beachfront condo
Well appointed condo that is on the 3rd floor allowing you to sit on the balcony enjoying the sea breeze and listen to the waves. The ocean is visible from most areas of the condo (not the bathroom). We bring our Keurig to have our instant hot coffee on demand. Love sitting on the balcony on Friday and Saturday evenings for the fireworks display off the pier. Communication with the owner is fantastic and she quickly responds to any concerns. We’ve stayed here multiple times and look forward to staying again.

Great Sunrises
The condo is just as nice as it looks in the photos. We loved sitting out on the deck, especially for watching the sunrises. Being right across the street from the SPI Birding and Nature Center, and Turtle, Inc. was a plus, too. Beach access is really close and easy and the water was beautiful.

Great Condo Right on the Beach!
Wife and I spent 3 nights here and loved it! Condo exactly as described and pictured. Amazing view of the ocean and only steps from the beach. Well stocked kitchen with all needed appliances. Comfortable bed, good water pressure in the shower and a cold AC - what more do you need! Very clean unit with no moldy odors which are sometimes present in gulf coast beach rentals. Host was very communicative and checked in by text to make sure everything was good. Located on the north end of the main strip so easy walk across the street to the SPI Birding and Nature Center which we very much enjoyed. Blue lights at night in the kitchen cabinets were awesome. Worth noting, there is no elevator so be ready for the stairs with this third-floor unit. We'd have no hesitation booking this unit again in the future!

Amazing beachfront condo
This is a beautiful condo that the owner is working to maintain and upgrade. We’ve stayed at this property multiple times and can see the love given. Since our last stay the owner has placed a new range, thermostat and mattress for the bed. Everything is in good working order and plenty of dishes, pots/pans and utensils needed. We bring our Keurig. Love being able to watch the waves from the balcony and condo. We call this “Our happy place.” Looking forward to our next visit in 2 months. Highly recommend staying here.

We were a little earlier than check-in time. I contacted the hosts and they unlocked the door for us which was so unexpected and so very nice! After entering the place we found it to be very inviting and comfortable! It was spotless! The ac was on to a comfortable level, which was nice because it was super humid outside! The view was incredible! We were right smack dab on the beach! We woke up to beautiful sunrises every day! The only negative I would give is that there is no elevator, other than that, I will definitely give this place 10/10!! If we ever return to SPI, we will stay here! I highly recommend checking this place out!

The condo was perfect for our 7 day stay. The bedroom is quite large with lots of room around the bed. Good dresser storage and closet space. The bedroom has a patio door directly to the balcony. Some places you stay have cheap towels, but the towels here were very high quality. The view was outstanding. Will definitely stay here again. Karen followed up with us to make sure everything was good at check in and in the condo.

Nice property! Great view of the ocean. Neat and clean unit. Has everything you need in the kitchen. Bed/pillows not the greatest but doable. Couch not the greatest. Property owner informed us that room was ready for us so we were able to enter an hour early. That was great! Owner also checked in shortly after to make sure everything was good. Owner responded quickly to txts. Overall a wonderful experience!

Great location and views
Condo is very nicely equipped with cooking dishes and utensils, as well as anything you might need for the beach (chairs, umbrella, towels, ice-chest). We found the bed comfortable, (pillows a little too firm for us) and my husband and I fought over "Grandpa's chair" - a very comfortable recliner! The location is right next door to the Marriott and it was nice to be able to walk next door to Bar Louie or Claytons for drinks and food. Karen, the property owner, checked in with us to make sure all was good and was a great communicator. The condo complex is well kept up and the grounds were nice. There are grills available, however they require charcoal so we didn't use them. It was very easy to just walk down a few steps to the beach - PERFECT location! We would definitely stay here again and recommend.
