| I have vacationed in this area for over 20 years, staying in a wide array of rental housing between Indian Pass and the north part of Cape San Blas. THIS is my favorite location! In fact, this is my third stay (in a row) in this condo. It is very comfortable, extremely well equipped and even offers a little extra privacy, since it's an end unit. The beach, which really is only steps away from the back door, is wide, clean and a shell collector's dream! The community pool, offers a wonderful, cool respite after time spent in the sun. My favorite reading spot is the upstairs balcony with its comfortable chairs and elevated view of the beach and Money Bayou, a gently curving tidal creek that joins the Gulf of Mexico right HERE! I am at the table on the screened porch as I type this, looking out at the waves and white sand, relishing the rhythm of the pounding surf, and I'm thinking, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...When can I come back?" |

Accommodations are as advertised. Nice back yard, pool and on the beach. We had a great time. We had some bad weather for part of the week, but the upstairs deck was great to sit on and watch the storm roll in. Plus, there was plenty of room on the deck for our 2 year old to play with her toys.
The condo is spacious. Did not feel cramped at all, plenty of room if you wanted to invite some guests to visit you on your vacation for a day or two.
There is a good chance we will return to this condo on future beach
vacations to the area.
PROS:
Great location for all kinds of water activities. Beach and pool were both great and it seemed like we had them to ourselves most of the time.
Close enough to the grocery store, 10 minutes, to not be too
inconvenient. Liquor store only 5 minutes.
Deck on condo was great place to feel like we were still on the beach
while our 2 year old napped.
CONS:
The VRBO listing does not disclose all costs on the main page, we were surprised by extra "other charges", $165, charged by the property management, and the additional pet fee, $100. These charges are fine, but should be on the section of the page giving pricing information. I have just learned to ask next time.
The condo complex was being repainted and they had removed the screen on the upper deck, which is actually a "PRO", however the contractor left behind the trim holding that had held the screen in with nails sticking out of it which we had to keep our 2 year old out of.
It is a condo, so some of your enjoyment is affected by your neighbors. For a good portion of the week we had some neighbors in our quad who left beach gear strewn from their condo to the beach and they didn't pick up after their dogs. This is no fault of the condo, just something to keep in mind.
Cars on the beach. There weren't many, but we weren't used to seeing cars on the beach on our previous trips to the area.

Beautiful views – one night we counted twelve dolphins, and there was a great egret and blue heron fishing in the stream next to us every night. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, the beds (two kings) are very comfortable and the tile floor and furniture is comfortable and new. We plan to return next year.
