Horrible Experience
We had a horrible experience from the moment we walked in. First, when we arrived there was no pull out couch like the listing had advertised. There was just a regular couch. And a bed. The bed had BED BUGS, which we are now dealing with a month later. The door in the bedroom closet literally was off the hinges. It fell on my husband when he went to open it. And when we decided to leave the next morning and ask for a refund to which the manager said he would give me, was only for one night which wasn’t even a quarter of what we paid. Also the excuse for the lack of change in the listing that said it sleeps 4, the property manager said there was a blow up mattress in the unit to make up for the couch not being pull out as it was advertised. There was sand everywhere in the bathroom and the back porch was in dilapidated conditions with paint and materials just lying around. I’ve stayed at moonrsker before in a different condo and had a great experience but this u it was absolutely horrible. Save yourself the disappointment!

Perfect size for my family of 3. Great area and super close to the ocean. We got A LOT of rain with the tropical storm that came in and they jump in action to get the parking lot drained.

Great little place for the price,
Nice place to be in walking distance of the beach. It had been Remodeled recently, but the back deck is very rotten and one of the side railings was easily pushed away from the deck into the next condos area. The details needed to be updated as we had four adults and it was supposed To have a pull out couch according to the listing and one bed . The couch was nice and new , but not a pullout . We found a blowup bed in the closet and had to use it, which took up most of the kitchen and living space .All in all it is nice for three people in the back deck needs repairs.

great for the money
I was pleasantly surprised to be able to see the water (not beach) from the unit. It was an easy walk to the beach, even with small kids. The unit is small, but worked well for a family with small kids. There is no dishwasher, so bring dish liquid if you plan to use the dishes. Also, pans are not non-stick, so cooking spray is suggested if you plan to use them. My wife sent me out for some mid-pancakes. My only complaint was some broken tiles in the kitchen where the pieces were no longer attached. The kids kept trying to play with the pieces and I was afraid they would cut themselves or lose the pieces. It is not the best or newest condo ever (in fact could use some updating) but for the money and location it is quite nice. I hope to stay here again next year.

We had a great time. Check in process was smooth and easy. Definitely an older building so Definitely an older building so general wear and tear that comes with that. Property managers checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. As a small family of four, we enjoyed the quietness and low density of the location. Beach access was perfect. Overall, we definitely enjoyed our stay.

Update
Location was great. The Unit could use some major updates. Tile in bathroom and kitchen broke or cracked. Carpet look like something from the late nineties. Cable for tv running under the carpet and cable plate just hanging off the wall. The deck was in very poor condition boards loose someone could have got hurt. The boards on the deck going to the unit are in very bad shape some of the boards were broke. Needs some major updates and repairs.

Things aren’t what they seem.
We had a good time the walk to the beach is short and nice. The air conditioner works great! The washer left my clothes still soaked and the dryer didn’t work at all so I had to hang my clothes. Which would have been fine if I had planned for that. The AC filters where very dirty and there was nails sting up on the walk way and there where super loose boards on the back deck. I don’t think we will ever be back.

The place we stayed was nasty and needed tons of work to even make it acceptable. There was black mold around the pool and on the walkways I can’t believe the health department doesn’t shut them down

The owner could do some small maintenance tasks to make things nicer but for the price, it’s great!
It wouldn’t hurt for someone to put some batteries in the clocks, fix the faucet in the bathroom, but a new bedspread of better quality, along with linens, put a couple of chairs on the deck, and repair or replace the safety handle in the shower.

Clean and comfy and close to the beach!
Clean clean clean!!! Easy walk to the beach! Great balcony, bed, kitchen, super water pressure, AC, quiet area. Only negative was sofa bed is old and springs will poke ya so I would bring an air mattress to put on it if it isnt replaced. A futon might be a good replacement. Would go back in a heartbeat!!!

Old. Very old.
There is no central air, which is rough in Alabama summers. Several things around the condo were broken (doorknobs, chairs, etc.). There is no dishwasher. There isn’t a washer/dryer. The hot water runs out very quickly. The back deck will tear up your feet, very rough with nail heads sticking up. All of that being said, I guess you get what your pay for. The rental office staff was friendly. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. There are good restaurants and such in walking distance. This condo is reasonable if you need a super cheap place with a bed, shower, and kitchen, but don’t plan to spend much if any time in it and don’t mind the sound of window A/C units running all night.

Perfect place for the price and location
Had a wonderful stay at this lil place. Clean, and was exactly what we needed. Took my mother, teenager, and 4yr old. 3 minutes from the beach (beach is across the street) close to everything...Would definitely stay again. Great price and perfect for our needs. Dollar general is close! Dont forget to look at the checklist on what to bring with you (extra tp,trash bags, paper towels)
