Great Location

The location was great, the rental was spacious. The rooftop pool was wonderful. Our unit had a Murphy bed which was a big hit with the kids. The check-in and out process was simple and hassle free. The only mild inconveniences at the time of our visit was the elevator not working for a short time, and the smell of our rental when we first arrived. The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall a great time!

Mini beach get away

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was exactly as advertised. Clean and well stocked. New kitchen coffee makers, plenty of kitchenware and towels. Condo was fantastic. Building has issues!! Elevators only work half the time and will never come to the 7th or 3rd floors. There was an alarm going off loudly in the lobby the entire time we were there. Took pictures and sent to property management several times, no one came out. Lock on pool gate does not always accept codes. Got locked inside pool with other guests. Finally box opened gate.

Gulfside 302

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Gulfside complex was a lot smaller that we had stayed at before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the minute we pulled into the parking lot we were amazed! There was a lady outside (I wish I’d gotten her name) we asked her about the parking and she was so sweet and helpful. She told us she had lived there 23 years, she even offered to spot for us pulling the truck in. The “smaller complex” turned out to be a plus because we never had trouble finding open beach chairs/unbrellas (the condo comes with free beach service) and the pool was pretty much always empty! And oh that pool! The rooftop pool was amazing! You look right out into the ocean from the pool, and we spent a lot of time up there since we had kinda yucky weather and double red flags on the beach during most of our stay! It’s further down the beach than we are used to, so not really anything in walking distance, but the location had its advantages because it was a lot less crowded and that made the traffic situation easier! I have no complaints and I’ve already been recommending this unit to my friends! Also, if you love fresh seafood, eat at The Shack. There were 4 adults that stayed and we had plenty of room. The balcony had a beautiful view, we spent alot of time out there, but also watched movies together in the living room. I could go on and on lol. A good time was had by all and I highly recommend this unit!!!

The room was clean and we enjoyed being beach side. It was also quiet there. The bed was comfortable and we are picky about a comfortable bed. We didn't use the pool, so can't leave a review for it or the gymThe parking wasn't good. We were paranoid each time we left that we'd return and there would be not parking for us. The instructions said to "park in front of the building" and there were not enough places for everyone and there is no other place to park. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful and clean room, great location.

Me and my husband went to celebrate our anniversary and we had the best time. We wanted to stay in a small condo with not as many people and we were completely satisfied. Easy beach access and the location is great. We were not right in the middle of town, but close enough that everything was easily 5 or so minutes away. Our room was spotless and check-in/check-out was super easy with great instructions. The listing was spot-on accurate and there were no surprises. We also had Alexa equipped in our room and we could ask anything from pool codes to where were the best places to eat. Will stay again!

Overall this was a very good property. I would recommend it. Some of the positive highlights were the small size of the building in general made it a quieter area. The view was incredible and the property was clean. The master bed was fairly comfortable. The communication with the property manager Brooks & Shorey Resorts was prompt and helpful. The pool on the roof is an exceptional amenity, fun and very unique. Some small suggestions for the future would be some updating including: the kitchen area- cabinets, counters and refresh on the living room chairs. Also a little more contemporary decorating would go a long way - four large pictures were haphazardly hung in the bedroom and were not centered. Condo could use some new barstool cushions etc. Also a few more thoughtful things like coffee filters and maybe a small bag of coffee for the first night/morning. None of these were major but these small touches are important and for the price point probably necessary updates. Also, the fitness room had pictures from 1994/1995, a VHS player with the workout videos "The Firm" from 2001. We used that space but 1000 from the HOA fees could probably do wonders for an update/refresh. The main reason I gave this four stars instead of five is the checkout time of 10am. Even then we had a knock on the door from the cleaning staff at 9:30 (and although she was very sweet), a 10am checkout on vacation is already early so to feel rushed at the end was a little disappointing.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very clean well nicely done the kitchen had everything one would need best of all were the views and the proximity to the beach It was perfect. I have one suggestion. The book with things to do. We didn't find it under the tv stand until the last day. Maybe it would be better displayed on the kitchen table to see when you first come in the condo.
