Condominium on the Gulf
Review Submitted: March 25, 2008
Date of Stay: February 2008
Having never rented on the internet before, we were a bit anxious as to what our condominium would be like. The photographs certainly were accurate!! This was a beautifully maintained 1 bedroom, furnishings were of the best quality, kitchen very well stocked with dishes, etc. and the king-sized bed was one of the most comfortable we have every slept in!! The view from our large balcony was fantastic, looking over the Gulf and down over the outside pools. However, it was early in the season and the water in the outside pools was a bit too cold to swim in. We did use the indoor pool/hot tub which also has a large seating area where one can sit and relax after swimming. One complaint we did have of our unit, the fridge was sooo noisy!! we kept turning it off. The heating/cooling unit was also a bit on the noisy side, but by shutting off the second bathroom could not be heard too much. The location was excellent - walking through the pool/garden area - straight on to the beach for morning exercise was ideal. Having a Wal-mart 5 mins away was also very useful for stocking up on groceries, etc., also lots of restaurants in the vicinity for fast food or a more elegant night out. We used this as our base to travel into Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi for Civil War and Civil Rights places of interests.
On the whole a very positive experience for our first time at booking on-line. I would certainly recommend this unit to anyone who wants a winter getaway in a well-maintained condominium.
