10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean property. Close to beach. We definitely enjoyed the weekend. Owner responded to texts within a minute."

Beachfront Gulf View Condo-Pool-Season Beach Serv.

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was wonderful except, the second bedroom. My Son and Daughter in Law slept there, they said the mattress caved in the middle. It needs to be replaced. Also the curtains and blind in that room needs to be better to keep the light from the outside hallway from shining in. Needless to say they were very uncomfortable and didn't sleep well."
