Recent Gulf Coast guest reviews

We enjoyed the most memorable Thanksgiving holiday in this home. The layout was perfect for hosting a family gathering. We were able to lay out all the food for buffet style serving and there was plenty of seating for everyone. There are games for all different age groups on each floor. The location was very convenient, just behind the pool and walking distance to Fireside Park for Smores. The elevator was essential for our disabled guests and for those of us whose knees just couldn't handle multiple trips up and down 3 flights of stairs. Only downside was the water pressure was low in the kitchen and most of the time we didn't have hot water in the kitchen. We will definitely be back!

We visited during the off season and were still met with kind staff, a clean and comfortable room with an incredible view of the ocean, a jacuzzi and several pools and a cafe. The condos are located just 3 minutes from the nearest grocery store and restaurant. This was a perfect vacation.

I love sitting down on the balcony and watching the waves come in. It was quiet as we were there at Thanksgiving. There are lots of shops and many restaurants in walking distance and you just walk across the street and sit in chairs at the beach. I would highly recommend.
