We have been coming to Beachhead since 1995, I wouldn’t even consider going to any other property , even if was cheaper. The location is the best, probably around 200 yards and you’re standing in the Gulf of Mexico. The other big plus is the giant swimming pool. The Condos are clean and sleep 6

Reviewer Comments:
Well, it was not fun entering our condo and noticing water coming from the ceiling on one of the restroom floors and having maintenance in our room and having to wait/slowdown our plans because of this. So we didn’t use the restroom with the twin beds because of the water coming out for the ceiling making everything wet, maintenance was not able to fix the problem during our stay and placed a huge bucket in the small restroom to collect the water. In addition, we weren’t able to open the door fully because it would get stuck on the floor. The other restroom with the queen bed would get stuck on the floor as well but was able to get it open all the way with some force. The tub in that restroom didn’t drain well, so each of us had to wait to use the shower so we didn’t have to stand in dirty water and the parking was a little tight for a truck. On a positive note, it was clean, good size condo for 4 people and it has a great view with a nice boardwalk to the beach. And every issue we had looks fixable but just didn’t expect these issues.

First the good. Beachhead Condos are right on the coast and an easy walk to the beach. Views from this unit's balcony are great. My wife didn't have to wait on us boys so we could meet her down on the beach when we were ready. Great views from everywhere on the property--especially the pool. The unit was a little disappointing. The areas that were updated seemed to be lower quality but ok. Some areas like parts of the master bath may be original from 1969. The shower drips and the shower head is only about 5 feet high so there was a lot of bending to shower. Bathrooms are small and need more storage options. Lots of closets but no dressers in the bedrooms. No TVs in bedrooms either. No beach equipment or beach towels provided. Pre-check in communications said no bath soap, shampoo, conditioner, or hair dryer is provided (What?). After finding a way to bring that stuff, it was provided (except the hair dryer). Bathroom door handle and door were coming off. Made maintenance request and it was fixed in hours. No digital lock so you have to pick up, drop off, and carry a physical key with you all the time. The parking spot for this unit only fits one car and is tight due to bulkheads from upgrades to other units. Love Beachhead but probably won't return to this specific unit.
Really nice condo close to everything and easy access to the ocean. Everything ran seamless through booking to checkout. Kids enjoyed the pool and games at the amenity center. We had a golf cart delivered and ran great. Made it supper easy to get around. Would stay stay here again in a second on our next visit to Port A.
The condo was fantastic had everything we needed our trip was great would stay here again

The property was exactly as advertised. It worked great for our family.
Decent place to stay. Right on the beach. Wish you didn’t have to pick up the keys at a separate place. Maybe change to keypad entry? A few bugs but that’s expected near the water. Beds weren’t the most comfy but overall the stay was satisfactory. We would stay again.

Great view! Needs basic updating! Paint, Caulking, deco, faucets in bathrooms and kitchen. There were no cushions on the metal slatted chairs. Need to upgrade to bar height chairs that don't need cushions so that you can see the view over the railing! Sofa is great! Over all nice basic place to stay!
