Great views ...

Great views. I could just about overlook the age and upkeep of the property because of the great views of the beach. Still, I will note that there was some obvious cleaning that needed to happen (e.g., a used, empty water bottle on the floor) and deep cleaning that was needed (e.g., one of the twin beds was moved slightly, and there was old trash under the bed).

Great place for a week at the beach!

Great place for a week at the beach. The enclosed porch was fantastic for morning coffee to sit and listen to the ocean and evening sunsets. Close walk to the downtown area for shopping and dinner too! Property manager was quick with answers to questions. We had a small leak on the toilet when we first arrived and it was fixed within two hours (maintenance came on a Sunday!) Would definitely recommend! Thanks for everything!

Directly on the beach and close to everything you need

I have searched for beachfront properties where I could simply walk out on the beach! So many listings are deceptive and that was upsetting to me. This property has a balcony overlooking the ocean. You walk thru the pool area onto the beach! Groceries, souvenir shops, restaurants and even church are 3-5 min drive. Not super crowded on beach and more family friendly area in general.

3 Day Heaven

My self, my wife, my son in law, his 8 year old and my son's 11 year old fit perfectly into our condo and it was truly a great experience. The boys had the beach and the pool and a nice comfortable place to rest and watch TV. And as Foster, the 8 year old said, what a great view Paw Paw we can see forever!

Great spot for smaller groups

Overall the condo was as described. The only negative to our stay was the parking situation. Found out when we got there they only allowed 1 parking pass so we had to spend an additional $20 per night to park one of our cars at a nearby location. Overall the unit was quiet and the beach area was very well kept. Make sure to get chairs from Ike’s early if you plan to as they frequently run out because the beach area here is fairly small compared to bigger condos.

Great view but needs work

Amazing view of gulf, but the property needs deep cleaning and repairs. Some repairs could be done in a day. The questionable black mold in the master bedroom was my biggest complaint. Dirty walls and nasty floors. Wobbly chairs and table are minor fixes. I wish the room was cleaner for the price we paid is all.

CONS: This condo was 40 years old. The pics are old ones that are listed on VRBO. Floors and ceilings were disgustingly dirty. Also only 1 patking pass allowed. Our other vehicle had to be parked down the road about a mile for $30 per day! PRO: location was great!
