Spring Break Vacay

Kim's condo made a wonderful home for my crew during Spring Break. Communication with her was great. The home was clean and had all the necessary items. We enjoyed cooking breakfast, then walking out to the beach to enjoy the beautiful blue water and white sand.. The complex was safe and secure and has pickleball, tennis and shuffleboard courts which helped keep my crew entertained. There was plenty other entertainment and food nearby, even within walking distance. I would definitely stay again!

Memorial day weekend

Our stay could not have been better. Weather was perfect. Our condo was great. Kim had told us about the construction, but it was no problem at all. Couldn't tell there was any going on. The condo was clean, well maintained and just what we needed. I would highly recommend it.

Great, small community

My mom, my husband, and I loved our stay here. Our unit was very spacious for the three of us. We loved that there was a washer and dryer in the unit. We had everything we needed: kitchen utensils, extra bedding, hair dryer, vacuum, broom, towels.etc. The check in/check out process was very easy. Kim answered all of our questions very quickly and was very helpful. Thank you for a great vacation!

Clean & roomy

This is a very clean spacious condo. My daughter & I stayed in September and it was very relaxing. The bedrooms are big however the mattress in the front bedroom off the parking lot needs to be replaced IMO. It is creaky and sags to the middle. The other mattress was very comfortable. The kitchen is not well lighted. There was a stick up light above the sink but the batteries were dead. Overall we a great time and would stay here again. Also Kim the owner was easy to communicate with.

Location is nice and quiet, condo is a nice condo but the cleaning service lacked. The bathroom had a shower cap from the previous people. The coffee pot was full of coffee and the coffee grounds were still in the coffee maker. Kim did have the cleaner come to the condo, the shower cap was not removed (on top of the shower Rod) and coffee pot was still full. Checking in was a struggle we never received our check in process. Didn’t have the gate code to get in and didn’t have the passcode to get inside the condo. Called several times and sent messages. My friend whose name was not on the condo finally made contact, Kim maintained contact with her the entire weekend. Overall the trip was fun and the location was nice just a few hiccups that made the trip stressful at times.

Not too long of a walk to the beach. Pool was always crowded but we did go in July so that’s probably considered a peak month. No steps out from back door but there were steps to get into front door and traveling with senior dogs plus my senior mother we weren’t really anticipating that when we read ground level. Plenty of towels and pans were provided; I always bring my own and this is the first condo I’ve stayed at to where technically speaking I didn’t need to bring my own. Nice oven for cooking. Plenty of seating in living room. When there was an issue with the front bedroom being too hot the host immediately sent a fan to help cool it down so that was nice. Good location as far as Panama City goes as well! Host was good about communication during stay. Beach chairs are great.
