Big windows, so you can see the sunshine coming in, and amazing view. The elevators. We had to wait 20+ minutes for the elevator to come once more people showed up for vacation.

The view was beautiful. The only issue with building was the elevator. Took forever to get one.

This was a great unit. Since it was a corner unit, it had a spectacular view. The elevators are somewhat slow, but this place was no worse than any other units I’ve stayed in the area. My only slight complaint is there was no Roku or streaming capability. It wasn’t advertised as having it, but this is the first unit I’ve rented in a while that didn’t have Roku. It did have satellite/cable TV. My only other complaint was there was only 1 extra blanket. I would definitely stay here again. The whole family loved it.

We got the same room we had last year because we liked it so much. We had a wonderful view. And it was decorated so well. It had all the amenities necessary for a comfortable week's stay.

We loved the view of the gulf. Disappointed the pool is not available and the first weekend of May is Thunder Beach with a motorcycle rally, loud music - all night long. We would go back, but not during that event.

The place was beautiful.
Real joy was incredibly quick to respond to a couple things, neither of which they could have foreseen. The water heater had been turned down, so there wasn’t much hot water. Within an hour, they solved the problem. Also, due to a big storm, the table on our patio blew across the street! Yikes! Amazingly, it didn’t hit anything. Again, within the hour, they had removed the broken table from the field. From the security guard to the maintenance folks to the actual real people who answered the phone, we were totally impressed with the staff and operation. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent from them again and again.

We have stayed in quite a few Panhandle condos over the years and this one may be the One. Great parking situation and location near the pier. The spaciousness is surprising and views terrific, particularly at the dining table. Management was first rate when we needed some help, thanks Sheryl and Christopher! A lot of boxes checked off and great value.

The condo was better than the pictures provided in the listing. It is very spacious and comfortable. Being an end unit made it even better. The views were absolutely fabulous. The location was great. Close to everything you could need. There were beach chairs on the balcony which was a huge help. Jet skis for rent right on the beach as well as banana boat rentals. Highly recommended this unit. We can’t wait to go back and stay there again.

It’s not everyday I get to use the word perfect in describing a vacation, but here I am telling it from the top of my lungs. “This place is PERFECT!” The view of the ocean is breath taking. Waking up to that sunrise every day was amazing. My family and I were most excited to stay here because of it’s relativity to Pier Park, only a 10 minute drive, which gave us plenty of fun activities to do. The condo bedrooms were a great size for the 6 of us (5 adults and 1 infant). And more importantly clean, clean, clean. Kitchen appliances, silverware etc. wonderful. Living room was great for watching a movie together. Overall it was a joyful stay and we can’t wait to do it again.
