I throughly enjoyed my stay. The condo description matched perfectly to what I was expecting. The king bed was a dream and the kitchen was fully stocked with most of your everyday needs, even providing sample coffees. I especially enjoyed the private beach access. The host was warm & welcoming and available if any questions came up. I highly recommend this unit and will definitely recommend it to my family & friends!

Great stay!

We had a fantastic stay at Mekayla and Travis' condo! Immediately upon entering, we noticed not only how updated and impressively decorated it was, but it also smelled nice and was immaculately clean! The condo was the perfect amount of space for us. We enjoyed it overlooking the pool and the short walk to the beach. We had more than enough supplies provided for our stay and the wifi was strong. Overall, we had a great time and will be back.

A+

Property was as pictured and included a starter kit, which I was EXTREMELY grateful for. After planning, packing and driving to getaway and relax, the last thing you want to do it stop for dish sponge, soap, etc. Location was perfect! Private beach access is always a plus! Kitchen was stocked with all necessary cookware and dishware. It was "homey" and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again and again.

Awesome experience

We had an excellent stay! The condo was clean and beautiful. Was fairly close to the beach as well, only reason for the 4 star on location was due to being on the third floor of the condo building and no elevator. Something we completely missed on the listing, made for one heck of a trip getting things up and down from the truck. Outside of the three story trek… it’s was an amazing stay, highly recommend (for someone ok with 3 flights of steps!)

What a cozy, lovely condo! You have a view of the pool and you can also get a peek of the turquoise ocean in the distance. Kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, shower was amazing, couch and giant tv were perfect for lounging after a day in the sun. Open living and kitchen area perfect for socializing. Back deck was spacious and a great place to relax. Easy in, easy out—no long list of chores for checkout! We’ll be back!

Relaxing

My daughter and I spent 4 relaxing days on the beach. Mekayla was super quick to answer back if i had a question and the check in and out process was flawless. My daughter loved the loft area. It was like she had her own little apartment to herself. Super cute condo and just a minute or two walk to the beach! We will for sure be staying again in the future!

Perfect getaway on the beach

The condo was exactly as described. Clean and ready to unpack and begin the vacation. Location was perfect, away from the busy areas of Pier Park but close enough to drive and enjoy all the PCB offered. Which also allowed for less crowded beaches. Will definitely stay again.
