Great location, Beautiful Views!The condo was well equipped and convenient to all the amenities. The entire property is very clean and secure. I would highly recommend the location.
My husband and I spent a week here. Everything we needed was in the condo. The balcony has an amazing view of the water and the beautiful sunset. We were able to eat dinner out there almost every night. The little nature walk was a nice evening walk and for the most part the path is clear until you get to the end but itâs well worth the view. The location is nice as far as an easy trip to local things like shopping and Tarpon Springs. We would stay here again if we have the opportunity.
The unit was well kept and generally well provisioned. It lacked a few kitchen utensils that I had to buy, such as a garlic press, cheese grater and cork screw. This unit is great for couples, except that the owners should invest in a queen sized bed rather than an old twin mattress. I will definitely rent again if there is an upgrade to the bed and linens.
My adult daughter and I stayed in condo 2-410. We were extremely happy with everything about it. The condo was as described. My bed was extremely comfortable, condo was clean, the pool was amazing. The best part were the winter guests and homeowners. They were kind, welcoming, and extremely helpful. One even tried to talk us into purchasing a condo there!! (I'm too young to retire) Morning coffee on the balcony was spent watching the dolphins and rays swim and the birds and ducks frolic. We wished we could have stayed longer.
We had a lot of problems with WiFI and no TV with Spectrum.
The condo was not kept up.
The bottom drawer to oven would not close. The cover for
The Spectrum router was on floor. There was sitting water on the floor of balcony. WOULD NOT GO BACK THERE. THE VIEW WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Shabby condo, but great view, sunsets, pool, and grounds
I have traveled extensively and have stayed in about 30 VRBO rentals around the world. I also own a few properties that I rent through VRBO and this is the first time I am compelled to write a negative review.
This was the only unit available for my dates so I booked it for the first 3 weeks of my 2 month stay, now I can see why it was available, I doubt if many people would return to this unit. After my 3 week stay in 410, I moved to a unit in the same building a few floors up that is gorgeous, spotless, comfortable AND $250 less.
If you are only looking for a crash pad for a short stay then 410 will do fine. This unit needs some serious TLC and attention to detail.
I am going to list several items the owner/manager may not be aware of:
Bed is too small and too hard and no mattress pad! I bought a foam topper (which I did not leave) so I could get a good night sleep.
Blinds in bedroom have missing slats and don't close so can't block out the morning light.
No dining table, eating at the counter you stare at the old ugly refrigerator instead of the gorgeous view, and most days it was too hot to eat on the balcony.
Windows smudged inside and out
Night stand drawer broken.
Greasy fingerprints on cupboards, grease stained back splash in kitchen.
Pans in cupboards were dirty.
Half the balcony had standing water so was unusable and the balcony furniture was so rusted big pieces of rusted metal were falling off, I kept getting scratched so had to cover the chairs with towels to sit. A water soaked old plastic planter on the balcony with no foliage left on it is simply gross and needs to be thrown out.
Stains on walls and doors, the entire condo needs painting.
Stained carpet and pulling away from the wall in one area, also you could feel the carpet tacks at thresholds, don't go barefoot!
Furniture is old, worn, and uncomfortable, the entire condo is so dingy that it did not feel, smell, or look clean even though it may have been.
Chipped plates and cups.
The only thing cheerful inside was the bedspread, it appeared to be new.
I did take pictures but I am not able to post them on this review.
I want to emphasize that Gulf Island is an incredible property and very well maintained, just too bad the owner of 410 doesn't invest some money to update this unit because it has so much potential.
In response to a few prior reviews, the 18" TV in the bedroom turns on with the wall switch. I put the correct and complete wifi instructions on the refrig.
Beautiful property. Liked the 24/7 gated and manned security. Building 2 #410 was clean and well stocked with towels and linens. Nice beach decor in unit. Had to contact property managers for issue with leaking air conditioning unit and cable/internet problems. They were quick on resolution for both issues. I really liked the size of the balcony and the nice furniture to sit on and watch the dolphins in the lagoon. Will go again!
Property management company said that they sent paperwork with key code,but I did not receive it! We had a late flight and Deb was very short when I called at 2am. I tried to explain who I was and the problem, she just gave me the code and hung up.
beautiful place. Only problem was bedroom tv wouldn't tune in ( I might have done it wrong) which really didn't matter but sofa was worn out and really sunk when we sat in it. very uncomfortable on back
Condo complex and all the individuals were fantastic, friendly and inviting. We enjoyed the pool, the pot luck, watching the dolphins and manatee. We have already book our time for next year. Thanks
Nice place with a pretty view. Quite small but offers everything needed for extended stay. Neighbors were friendly and quiet. Very good security. Nice nature trail for walking. Only minor issue was wind whistling thru sliding door. Would certainly consider returning next year.
This newly renovated condominium was just perfect for my needs, well equipped, clean....beautiful view of the gulf, the location gave easy access to many of the sights I was interested in seeing. I would definitely stay here again, it was a true pleasure working with At home management.....
