Perfect Getaway !
Review Submitted: July 6, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
Our family of 5 absolutely LOVED this condo! It offered everything that we needed for a perfect getaway. It was clean, spacious,beautifully decorated, and the location could not be beat.(Very laid back & uncrowded area !) Great beach & clean pool !
The owner was a delight to deal with. In fact, we were having so much fun that I called Karin to ask about staying an extra night & she was gracious enough to agree. She provided great information about area restaurants, etc., before we arrived - very helpful !
The Perdido Key area was perfect for us. Not commercialized & not a tourist trap, but the "towns" that had all of those type things were just a few miles in either direction - the best of both worlds.
The Pensacola Naval Air Station is about 15 min. away & was a great place to visit. We saw the Blue Angels practice & then toured the museum - both were free admission. The IMAX shows were just ok . They were $8.50 a person for 1 show, or 13.50 for 2 shows. I'm not sure who enjoyed the museum more, my 61 year old Dad, or 10 Y.O.
son. Well worth the visit & easy to find, thanks to Karin's directions.
As far as restaurants go, we really enjoyed Lillian's Pizza which is
right across the street from the condo. Very tasty ! We liked the Shrimp Basket, too. Small chain, family friendly, good value - fish & shrimp tasted fresh.
Foley's Tanger Outlet Mall was about 20-25 min away. Very nice, large mall. Nice covered playground in center to entertain men & children.
Can't say enough about this condo. It has so many activities/attractions nearby, yet offers the perfect uncrowded beach experience.
The only "beware" is parking - if you drive an SUV or large vehicle be
slow & cautious in the covered parking deck - low clearance, tight turns & tight parking spaces. Not a problem if you pay attention.
