4 adults, 2 kids under 3 If you're looking for somewhere to stay that is nice, clean, and out of the busy-ness of Florida, this is it! I will be staying here again. No complaints! Only thing to mention- there is only 1 parking spot.
The decor is so pretty. The beds were amazingly comfortable. We loved the location and the beach was wonderful. Panhandle Getaways put very nice welcoming touches on their added amenities.
Beautiful place, but we couldn't access the beach our whole stay and had to walk to public beach access a few blocks down each time. The main reason for booking this condo was for direct beach access.
The location and property are okay but with so many options of places to stay in Seagrove we wonât be back. The biggest issue was the AC didnât work in master bedroom upstairs. Other issues were two burners that donât work on the stove and a lack of items in the kitchen. I read this in previous reviews but thought it wouldnât matter but it did. Guests need a pans to cook with and hot pads if cooking in the oven. We only ate breakfast at the property but it was challenging. Also thereâs only one parking space which should be disclosed in the listing, this is also a challenge. Finally property management doesnât enforce beach rules of no tents so prepare to be packed in at the beach if someone chooses to spread out with multiple tents. We paid for chairs and umbrellas but it was tight. Finally this unit is on the 3rd floor with no elevator, whew! Our unit #10x was deceiving! Loading and unloading was brutal. Overall the layout and decor of this rental is perfect and with just a little TLC this could be a 5 star place to stay.
Our stay was a bit disappointing compared to other years at Eastern Shores in different units. The refrigerator did not work and a smaller one was placed in the hall/doorway to kitchen because the one that wasn't working was still there. We were there Sunday thru Wednesday with a less than adequate refrigerator and had to use coolers too keep some of the food/beverages/ice. A new refrigerator was delivered Wednesday and we left Friday morning. The upstairs smoke detector went off the first night to the point we had to take it down. Maintenance came the next day and put it back up saying that it was a safety feature and would go off each night. It did again, we had to take it down. We didn't have enough towels, but more were delivered a few hours after calling. TV Remote in downstairs bedroom did not work due to gummed up buttons, new batteries did not help. Place was not well stocked - including having only 2 very small frying pans and no broom. Door to balcony was extremely difficult to open and close. Having only one key fob for the beach access was not ideal for a group. Place was nicely renovated and comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was perfect for our needs. The only negative was we have a condo for 8 ( 2 families of 4) and only one parking spot. With not taking another guestâs spot or the service spots we parked in a smaller end spot with no marking. It didnât say service or do not park. Well not sure if it was a worker for the condo or a contractor, but he was very rude about where we parked and threatened to have us towed.
We did love the beach access and cleanliness of the condo.
Beautiful, unbeatable, view. Great access to the beach & it was not crowded. I had a maintenance issue on night 2 and he showed up within 15 minutes , made sure it was fixed & very professional. When I booked this, the property manager said to contact one chair service, which isnât included. That place didnât serve the condo anymore. When I called back the property manager was rude & said they didnât know and can only call HOA for emergencies. When I asked to talk to a manager she never let me but put me on hold, came back with another chair company. That was also wrong, but the chair company graciously gave me the correct company which is 30A Shade for future reference. The big beds were horrible & lumpy but the bunk mattresses were good. The detergent they use on linens is high perfume & we couldnât use. I had to wash them 3 times with now detergent and a scent free Pod I brought & still couldnât use, therefore, we used the beach towels we brought as blankets and to cover the pillow. The pull out couch needs to replaced. Very limited kitchen extras but had basic coffee pot, toaster, crockpot, and blender that didnât really blend. Plenty of dishes & cooking pans but not much for steak/food prep knives or containers to put left over food in.
Property was clean, easy access to beach, lots of beach chairs, toys, etc to use. Great location - just far enough away from the crowds to relax, but close enough to be in the action in just a few minutes.
Condo needs a little attention. The maintenance man told us about a couple of the issues. We liked the overall condo. Would not hesitate to come back. The area is perfect.
This condo was terrific! I wanted to have beach access and a great view and it was the the perfect location. It was so easy to walk to the beach and return to the condo for snacks. The property was very clean and easy to find. There is only one parking spot which was all we needed. We stayed early May so it wasn't too hot yet.. but the upstairs bedroom was warm. I just had to adjust the A/C to keep the upstairs cool at night. Otherwise we were on the beach and out most of the day. The bedrooms have King beds and they were very comfortable. The two bunk beds in the hall are small so they are ideal for children and not tall teenagers. We did not use the pull out couch. If you are planning on cooking for a bigger family you may want to request larger and multiple cooking pans. We only cooked breakfast for four so we managed with the two small pans. Definitely time to upgrade the cookware. We were able to drive to Rosemary Beach and Seaside in minuets. If you are using bikes, it is far for the kids to meet friends in those areas. My son would have preferred to be closer to Seaside and all the action. If you are planning to hang at the beach and drive to dinner, this condo is awesome. I hope to return again!
The Condo was great. Very clean, great view from the balcony of the beach and Ocean. We had coffee in the mornings on the balcony and drinks in the evenings on the balcony.
The only thing I would suggest is putting more towels in the condo.
Will definitely stay here again.
location on beach is great, but instructions on beach access were not accurate; keypad for access to unit didn't always work; room upstairs does not cool very well -- would hate to be there mid summer; there are no basics in the kitchen, not even salt & pepper
Great condo but the property management ruined the stay
The condo location is fantastic and great for a getaway beach vacation. The property management is terrible. The condo was not clean . Bed sheets had sand on them and many dishes in the cabinets were dirty . Also the exterior of the cabinets were in need of cleaning.
Upon check in there was not a fob left for us to access the beach it took multiple calls and two days later before they brought one over .
Again the condo is cute and good location but the property management does not care for the property appropriately
Location great. Easy beach access. There is not a gate code as listed. It uses a key card. There are 3 of them in the wine glass on kitchen island. Downstairs bed was comfortable. The room was very bright at night from outside light. Wish it had blackout shade on window. We would stay again.
The overall stay at the condo itself would be a 5 star. We had a couple of ant issues, but since we have been to the beach a lot we know it can happen with food and such. Especially during the hot summer months.
Biggest issue for us was parking. There are 20-22 units total and exactly 1 parking spot per unit. VBRO just states âparkingâ in the information. If you can fit 6-8 people in a condo, I feel like you should get more than 1 parking spot. There is absolutely no way to fit a 10 month old and 6 adults in 1 vehicle with luggage and such. There is additional parking about 2 miles away, but just really inconvenient for going out and such. As a family, we donât âbeachâ all day everyday like some families. So it might not be a big issue for others.
Now would that keep us from staying here again? Probably not. And after staying here we learned itâs that way in a lot of 30A area condos. Just want people staying with a group over 6 to be aware. Be prepared to park 1 vehicle and shuttle another.
The best aspect was the actual walk from the condo to the water. It was maybe a 30-60 second walk from our 3rd floor condo to the beach chairs we rented. Closest I have ever been to the beach. The waters we amazing. Clearest I have ever seen. Wish I could attach a photo!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay! I just didnât see any previous comments about 1 parking spot and wasnât made aware until I asked about parking. Feel like this should be stated somewhere within the description for people with large groups.
