The location is perfect…steps(100) to the white sand beach. The facilities are nice and we feel at home here. When some minor issues have arisen, Rhonda and her team have been quick to respond. Communication is very good!

Unit 315

Always in joy staying in this unit. So easy getting to beach and pool. The one and only thing is the umbrella situation. You have to mark yours every morning they will not put your name or unit number on it. Everything else is great nice people everywhere to.

Great place

Thought I wrote this on our 2023 trip didn't see my discount. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. The bottom floor is so handy and the great grass is good for your feet and children. Only problem I have is the umbrella man. Have my trip booked for 2024 already maybe they have a new umbrella man. Hope to get my discount to.

2nd time in 315

Love this unit. Great proximity to the beach and pool. Like I mentioned in the name, this is our second time staying in this unit. The sheets and the extra blankets need to be cleaned. I would recommend this unit. My son is stationed there and we will be renting this unit again.

Great location

The location of 315 is perfect right in the midst of it all. Walk right out to pool. Stones throw away from beach access. We loved our stay. The whole family enjoyed our stay at 315.

The parking was easy. The beach was right outside the back door. Bed was comfortable. The pool was also literally right outside the back door. I would definitely stay again.

We loved the location of this unit. We had some issues with the cable tv connection the first night, after unplugging and resetting it we got it to connect. This was the second visit to this property, I love the location and will definately book here again.

Beautiful time of year to be here.

This convo was located just a minute walk to the sand and less of a walk to the pool. The condo was clean and have everything we needed for the week. The complex is located at the end of the road it is very peaceful and restful. It does take about 10 or more minutes to drive to a restaurant or shopping area. But the view and quiet outweigh the drive 😁. The facility was very neat and clean. I recommend September as a fabulous time to visit the Emerald Coast.

Family Perfect!

In so many ways this space could be rated excellent. So very convenient for a family vacation. Located on the ground level, it's only a few steps to the pool and not many more steps to get to the beach. Beach chair service was included in the rental rate and that is a huge plus! The condo is comfortable, very clean and easy to keep organized. I appreciated that all floors were tiled and thus easy to sweep day to day traffic debris, particularly sand. The kitchen needs updating and could which is why I rated it good rather than excellent.

Not worth the money

The condo was obviously not cleaned prior to our arrival. There was dirt on the floor, particles all over the kitchen counter, coffee machine was disgusting, sand in the bed and under the sheets, sand on the recliner. Ceilings looked like they were about to cave in and the curtains in the bedroom are basically nonexistent. The check out is ridiculous. They want you to take the trash out and take the sheets off the bed and basicallyact like you are the house keeper, plus, they deactivate the door code at 9am even thought check out is at 10am. We also encountered several roaches in the condoThe only good thing about this place is the location.

Perfect location for small family!

Being on the first floor and steps away from the pool and beach, 315 was THE PERFECT location for a family with young kids! Easy to and from access without the hassle of elevators. Beautiful walk-in shower, super spacious living room and all the tvs had access to streaming apps for our 3yo! I’d recommend this condo to anyone looking for a hassle free vacation. Location!
