We did our annual family vacation to the Panhandle and decided to try somewhere new along 30A and we are very glad we did. Our condo was centrally located between Alyâs Beach and Rosemary Beach which made it fun to check out something new every day. The condo was right on the Beach with a gorgeous view of the water and the pool. It was surprising to see how much of the beach space was reserved for the chair rentals vs first come first served beach space. Overall this was a fantastic trip and we will be returning since there is so much to see and do.
Wonderful! Love the location to the beach, restaurants, shopping all within walking distance! This is the 4th or 5th year weâve stayed here. Awesome!
The condo was perfect. However beach chair and space on beach was terrible. Since the beach is the most important part for my family we will not be back to this duplex. I realize it was a holiday but we had friends who were in this area and this was not a problem at there condo. Too many condo units/homes are assigned to this small section of beach. As for chairs rental service âŠWe tried to reserve chairs 1 month before our arrival and they were already booked. When we arrived we checked again and some were available but in the very back and were very expensive. However we made the best of it and had a great time.
This property was perfect. Very clean and well maintained. The amenities were great right next to the pool and oceanfront. Amazing views from the balcony and living room. The overall location is perfect as well, situated right between Rosemary and Alys Beach. We will definitely be going back.
We thoroughly enjoyed this VRBO property!
I would rent this place again for the view alone as the fourth floor provides a stunning view of the beautiful water and beach. Very spacious and comfortable!
Beautiful place, great location. The only negative thing was the shared access to the beach stayed busy non stop and the chair rental place took all the beach in front of the house and crammed everyone together in one small section. Paid way too much money to be packed in like sardines.
This review is long overdue since we stayed Thanksgiving 2015...
We couldn't have been happier there. The owner was very helpful and easy to work with. The place really clean and nicely put together. We highly recommend it and hope to be back one day.
Extremely clean, roomy for our children and grandchild. Recommend this property to family or anyone wanting to see the sun rise/set at the beach!
Would recommend the umbrella rentals and reservations for vehicles over two at Grayton Southern Storage.
The balcony view could not be beaten. We brought chairs but realized we were so close to the sea that we ended up enjoying the beach from our balcony and going down to the beach to walk or collect sea shells. The place was beautiful and provided a great place to be with our family.
The condo was very clean and spacious. The location is perfect! We walked & biked everywhere. Lotâs to see & do. The balcony was the best part! The sunrises & sunsets are gorgeous! The grandkids absolutely had the best time. We hope to go back again soon.
We really enjoyed our stay. Location was excellent. Could tell that the condo owner uses the space as well a simply renting out the unit. I hope we treated the premises accordingly respecting the place as we would our own.
Sadly we had one mishap. One of our girls collided with the closet door going to the bathroom in the dark. The closet door knob damaged the wall and we apologize that this happened and will pay for the repair. Hopefully it is not too big a fix but are sorry for the inconvenience.
Phenomenal location right on seacrest beach. The condo was decently appointed, and everything worked. The view from the 4th floor balcony was amazing - with clear view of the sunset! We had 4 adults and 4 kids (5-8 years old) and never felt like we didnât have enough room.
There is only 1 real TV in the condo - in the living room. The others in the bedroom are computer monitor sized and not really suitable for watching at 6+ feet away. So just know that if your group is TV oriented. The wifi worked just fine, no issues there. The only other âquirkâ to this condo is that there are no ceiling lights in the bedrooms. You have to use the various lamps for bedroom lighting. We made do, it was just unusual.
Those are all minor things. We had a great time and would certainly stay in this condo again.
The condo was spacious and clean. The view from the balcony was just perfect, you simply can't get closer to the beach without being on the beach! The property itself is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.
This condo is in a great location with a great view and super access to the beach. The condo is large with four bedrooms. Drawer storage in the bedrooms is limited but workable. The living room furniture is definitely worn, but is ok for a week of fun. Beds were comfortable. Two large bed bedrooms and two bedrooms with two beds each. Clearly though, for the price you are paying, you are getting the view, location and beach access.
This condo was amazing and clean with gorgeous view. Large balcony to spend the evenings and have a cup of coffee in the mornings. It was great to have the refreshing swimming pool so close as well. The only downside was that the beach was very crowded, and we had to go out to reserve a good spot close to the water as early as 5:30 am! Overall, very nice place. Highly recommended if you donât mind the crowds of people.
We stayed Memorial Day 2022. The location is wonderful - within walking distance of both Alys beach and Rosemary Beach. The condo was perfect for our family. The unit was clean and comfortable and right on the beach. We especially enjoyed the balcony overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. We can't wait to stay here again!
Our family booked this condo last minute as it was Spring Break week and everything else was booked. We paid over $6,000 for this condo rental and honestly feel like we got taken advantage of a bit due to everything I outlined below. We were excited because based on the details this was the perfect place and the views looked amazing from the pictures. When we arrived we quickly realized why this condo wasn't already booked as it seemed everything else in the area was.
Pros:
#1 GORGEOUS views from the 4th floor balcony. You can see the ocean from a just about every angle in the living area...it is really a beautiful location!
#2 Close proximity to restaurants - we didn't use our car all week and walked everywhere.
#3 Private-ish pool (see cons about this below)
Cons:
#1 The condo is VERY outdated and NOT clean. Doors are dirty and chipped. Outdated EVERYTHING. The bed pillows have stains on them and the mattresses are at least 20 years old. All of the furniture and decor is pieced together, stained, dinged and VERY dirty. We were able to tour the first floor unit while we were there and it was gorgeous and updated - nothing like the unit we stayed in here which made us upset that we spent so much for lackluster accommodations.
#2 The pool is private to all the residents/guests of the condos which is great. However the walkway to the beach is public access so hundreds of people walk by at all hours of the day and night. It doesn't seem like it would be a big deal....but it is a constant flow of traffic on what you would think would be private property. During our stay the police were called to the property every night due to rowdy groups gathering that were not residents/guests.
#3 There is only one working TV in the condo and it is a basic TV that doesn't have any smart technology. It has three remotes to operate the one TV. Again, outdated and needs to be replaced. The other TV was located in a bedroom but was broken and didn't turn on.
Overall, we had a great week because we tried to stay out of the condo as much as possible. Would we stay in this unit again? Absolutely NOT...until the owner puts some well needed effort in updating the unit.
