Beautiful condo. Great location. The balcony was so beautiful having access to it from the bedroom and living room. We had everything we needed. New beautiful appliances. Would definitely stay there again!

Excellent Quality
The photos are spot on, and the view was incredible. Loved this condo, will definitely be coming back!!!

By Lenea L., Posted: 05/30/2023

Loved it!
Was in love with the views as soon as we walked in! Balcony was perfect. Bed was clean and we slept pretty good. Found better pillows in the closet and a fan was there for us also! I felt the huge room darkening curtains were a lil much and very dated. I pushed them as far off the windows as possible to get as much view of ocean as possible and it was fine. We booked during construction and they weren't kiddung! No naps to be had but i would still do it again! I napped on the private beach, which was very well patrolled. The location was great! We did 3 boat tours and sea screamer was our favorite, minutes from condo. I do wish Sunbird allowed golf carts on property but only 1 parking space per condo so i understand... The bathroom was small but served the purpose and shower had great pressure and nice hot water. Overall we loved our stay and would come back!

From start to finish
Only downfall was the 10:00 check out would have liked at least 11:00 to give more time to pack up and enjoy the views. Amazing views and condo, Rooms could use a fresh coat of paint but no complaints. Will be back and recommend to others.

AMAZING VIEWS
The minute you walk into the unit, the view takes your breathe away. Furniture is outdated by still comfortable. Bed seems new and very firm. We were there to relax and watch the ocean. This unit and our vacation did just that.

By Mark A., Posted: 10/27/2022

Very relaxing place

Anniversary Trip

Hannah was excellent to work with and was quick with responses. There was a water main issue that was out of their control. The issue resulted with required AC outage. We were notified immediately and were asked if we needed fans in our condo. Within 30 mins we had 2 fans delivered. Sunbird 1205W has a beautiful view and easy access to the beach. Three beautiful pools but very cold for August. We would stay again if we ever go back to PCB.

Outstanding vacation
Our condo was right off the beach and within walking distance of so many restaurants and venues. The condo was clean and furnished with the necessities. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I would recommend this condo for a relaxing and fun getaway!! Thank you!!

We’ve come to Sunbird Resorts Panama City Beach for the past 5 years, and last year, we booked Emerald Beach Properties.. We were so thoroughly impressed by the service, and most especially by the breathtaking view of the Gulf, that we booked it again this year. We weren’t let down! Same amazing service, but this year, all the construction from hurricane Michael’s wrath was completed and Sunbird shined like the jewel we knew she was!

Fantastic Stay!

EBP were wonderful..It was our 19th wedding anniversary and they went above and beyond in Service and Professionalism!! Sunbird is fully functional and the staff and security are top notch!! Elevators were fast and we had no wait whatsoever...Just a note however..Not all condo's there are managed by Emerald Beach Properties..so if you want a fantastic condo..clean and affordable..book through EBP..They have Never let us down! We stayed in 1205 West...Outstanding..Well Done and Thanks.

Little Paradise

My husband and I stay in the Compass Rose Penthouse for our Anniversary weekend gateway. Everything was prefect and well organized with providing parking passes and making sure we had a pool bands without dealing with guest services. The view from the room was absolutely beautiful for sunset/sunrise and it was true paradise with the ability of hearing the water crashing on the beach.

Amazing Place
We rented this unit for a romantic weekend getaway and it did NOT disappoint. The unit was simply amazing. It was SO clean and modern. Our favorite feature was the windows and Gulf view. We literally sat for hours on the balcony. We will definitely rent again.

By Tesha V., Posted: 10/12/2021

Easy check in, clean, and the view everyday was amazing. The location was great, close to Pineapple Willi's and Wal Mart around the corner. Great place!

By David, Posted: 05/23/2021

We've stayed at Sunbird the past 4 years and love it there. We've never been disappointed, but this year was special. The condo was the best we've experienced so far, and includes amazing ocean front view and everything you could ask for in comfort. The owner's responsiveness to any of our requests went even farther and was faster than we anticipated! We will certainly always try to make sure we book this condo on any of our future visits!

By Sheila F., Posted: 05/16/2021

Great condo
Everything was excellent. It had everything we needed. Great views, comfortable bed. We hope we will be able to stay there again

By Andrea B., Posted: 04/05/2021

Great Location and beautiful view!
We loved our stay. The property was just as described and was perfect for our stay. The location is great! I loved the feeling of having to have a gate code to get in, it really made us feel safe. The construction didn’t bother us at all and we look forward to a future stay when we can enjoy the pools.

By Walker W., Posted: 03/15/2021

Amazing Condo
The condo was better than described. The views were absolutely amazing. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated and look fantastic. There is still a little bit of construction going on, but in no way interfered with my stay. I plan to book this unit for future visits!

By Jeri, Posted: 03/01/2021

Booking, check in/check out, room interior and views made this a great experience. Our property manager was great. The minor negatives were the condition of the grounds due to unfinished storm damage construction. There is still a lot of work to be done but that was factored into the price of our stay so not that big of a deal to us. The elevators were down for a few hours one day and the front entrance gate got stuck once. Cost, conveinience and location all outweighed these minor issues for us. We would use this unit again once all the repairs are done and all the amenities are back up and running.

By Carla S., Posted: 02/28/2021

Best view ever
Easy check in, property was a wreck due to remodeling and repairs but our condo was more than we could have imagined. Loved it

By Linda H., Posted: 11/27/2020

Loved the view
The condo was perfect for our needs. Hannah was awesome helping us with our reservation. Truly appreciated her assistance. The property was beautiful and would stay again if given the chance to travel back to this part of Florida.

By Carl S., Posted: 10/04/2020

Beach escape
Needed to escape for a few days. This place was awesome. A lot of construction but that didn’t interfere with us in any way. Nice location. We love eating at Pineapple Willy’s and it was good to just walk next door. Also ate at Saltwater Grill and it was amazing.

By Katie S., Posted: 09/22/2020

Wonderful Stay
I would have liked to know that the building was under construction before booking but it was still an amazing place to stay! We will definitely be staying there in the future! Great location and felt very safe with the gated parking!

By Karen E., Posted: 09/08/2020

Beautiful property
Our stay was wonderful! The condo is beautiful! The only negative would be the construction going on during the stay, but we were made aware of it prior to our stay. I would definitely choose this property again in the future.

By Sarah, Posted: 07/25/2020

We stayed in Compass Rose 1205 W. The panoramic gulf views were absolutely breathtaking! It is even more incredible in person than what the pictures show. The condo was very accommodating and provided everything we needed and more! We arrived later than anticipated, and parking permit and wristbands were ready and waiting for us inside the unit. That was a relief because security guard told us a lot of hosts do not leave that for you (and otherwise would have had to wait until Monday to get them when the office opened.) I had some questions throughout our stay, and I texted the number they provided, and received an answer right away. Our experience was great, and I would highly recommend this unit. We would love to stay here again!

By Carmien, Posted: 11/15/2019

This condo is everything as advertised, but no words can describe the beautiful view from the panoramic windows! We were more than pleased with the unit itself, the property in general, and the courteous service we received.

By Daniel, Posted: 11/05/2019

Absolutely spectacular. Cannot recommend enough.

The space was absolutely beautiful, you can see the ocean from every inch of the condo. The hosts left a very nice welcome bag and responded to the only question we had very quickly. It was clean and had everything we needed. We'd definitely stay again!

By Randy, Posted: 10/01/2019

Best Location we have stayed in yet. Amazing View. Top floor Penthouse View. This is a smaller complex vs neighboring places. Value for being under construction is well worth it. We would stay in the particular unit again. Also right on top of Pineapple Willeys! Wish we could of stayed longer. Will definitely revisit the Sunbird 1205W.

By Shawn W., Posted: 09/27/2019

Construction
Construction being done on our Tower was the only problem we had. We had to walk around the building to get to the beach. However we understood the construction they were still doing repairs from the hurricane. Our condo was clean stopped as described the TV in our living room was not working so we called maintenance they came got the TV in the living room working then the one in the bedroom did not work. Overall we had a great vacation.

By Tonya, Posted: 09/23/2019

This place was beautiful and the view was magnificent! I loved having the view of the ocean all the way around. The bed was comfortable and also the couch. There was construction going on above us but it was seriously not that bad at all.

Lots of construction going on during our stay but it wasn't too bad! The views from this place are incredible& I was amazed how fast the elevator was! Loved the secured parking and how everything was gated and fenced off.

By Tony, Posted: 09/03/2019

The large windows throughout the floor added to the amazing views. The location is great. This area of the beach seemed quieter than the other areas and we appreciated being in walking distance to Pineapple Willies. The elevators to the 12th floor were fast and we never waited long. Construction was going on but we were never negatively impacted. The chairs on the balcony were very comfortable and the bed sheets and towels were nice quality. The bed slept well and I enjoyed the chaise by the window for reading. The bedroom ceiling fan didn't adjust and we only picked up a few channels on the TV, but this was minor compared to all the positive. Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed the condo very much.

By Joy, Posted: 10/01/2018

We loved the condo. Thank you for a nice relaxing vacation with no issues!! Nicely decorated and clean. The view was amazing from the panoramic windows. We watched a sea turtle lay eggs on the beach one evening! The complex was well kept and quiet for a busy resort. We love the easy check in/check out by text. We had an issue with the recliner footrest broken but it was repaired quickly. I do have a few suggestions. A few area rugs would be great due to the beach sand on the tile. I had to wear shoes and sweep contantly. Some new pots and pans in the kitchen are needed. The sliding doors to the balcony do not lock. I know it's the 12th floor but it's just needed for safety. We will definitely be back.

By Barry C., Posted: 09/16/2018

Very nice
Very nice condo,location and views. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Plenty of parking places for my truck.

By Dee, Posted: 07/25/2018

Everything was perfect. Greatly enjoyed our short vacation!! Just wish I could have stayed a couple more days but everything was booked. Would highly recommend this condo for everyone!! Thank you so much for making my vacation perfect!!!

By Joanne, Posted: 06/24/2018

Everything was great !!! No hassle arriving everything was just as promised!!

By Vickie L., Posted: 05/31/2018

Loved the balcony and the view!!
This unit really had the view you see in the picture, was very clean and the kitchen was well supplied for those who want to cook. The decorations were nice too. The view from inside the unit is fantastic as well due to the large windows in the living/dining area. The balcony was a great place to have coffee in the morning and a glass of wine as the sun sets.

By COLLEEN W., Posted: 05/11/2018

Beautiful views and comfortable condo.
Absolutely beautiful views. It is a very nice condo (I could live there) with everything you need. Full size refrigerator with an ice maker. It had a regular coffee maker and a Keurig which I wish I knew ahead of time because we have a Keurig at home but I bought coffee and filters assuming they would only have a regular coffee maker. The only thing I think really needs to be done is it needs a new mattress--my husband thought it was comfortable but I would find myself rolling into a depression in the mattress. Everything worked very smoothly as far as checking in and out. I would absolutely stay there again.

By Chris W., Posted: 04/23/2018

Great
We had a wonderful relaxing vacation. Loved that we were right on the beach. Views from this condo were amazing. Two mornings while sitting on the balcony we saw dolphins swimming just off the coast. Will definitely come back.

By David & Pat, Posted: 03/09/2018

We enjoyed a great February at this beauty of a condo. Clean, comfortable and with everything supplied in the kitchen for preparing your meals, if needed, but lots of restaurant within walking. Staff always welcoming and helpful. We have booked 1205W for next year.....making it our 4th year there....which should speak for itself!

By Wesley, Posted: 12/21/2017

Because of this special Penthouse condo, it was the most amazing vacation we've had in many many years. We celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, and with this spectacular View and the sound of the gulf every night, it far surpassed our expectations. We highly recommend this Penthouse condo to anyone who wants a special vacation. The entire staff was outstanding and making our vacation trouble-free ,thank you to everyone.

By Wesley, Posted: 12/04/2017

Had a wonderful stay. The view was awesome, We just loved the condo. And hope to do it again.

By Chanchira, Posted: 12/04/2016

I'm glad that we chose this unit despite another recommendation from the managemaent company. We enjoyed staying here very much. My mom's a wheelchair dependent and bedritten due to terminal illness. I wanted her to enjoy this trip. She was able to look out from the bedroom or the living room to see the beach. We loved that there's no carpet so it's very easy to move the wheechair around. The kitchen was well equipped. It's very comfortable. It's also very convenient, not even 5 min. drive to Walmart , drug stores and only 6 miles to PCB and a walking distant to Pineapple Willy's restaurant which has a pier. There're also plenty of activities like jet ski, banana boats, dolphin tours.Eventhough the unit was very clean,we did see one small cockroach in the living room, and found one that went home with us in our plastic container. Despite that we would stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family. Thank you for being a part of making this trip enjoyable for me and my mom.

By David H, Posted: 12/04/2016

What a wonderful vacation in PCB for the month of February.....too bad they couldn't control the weather. We have stayed at the Sunbird before and really enjoy the area, close to all the essentials. But this condo has the best view of the beach and gulf from the 12th floor......windows galore. A comfortable lounge is right in front of the large windows, a great place to relax and enjoy the view.....like beach and dolphins. And the extra bonus is the patio door from the bedroom to the balcony....leaving the door open a bit at night led to the most relaxing sleep on a comfortable king size bed, oh the sounds of the waves. The condo was clean, bright and airy...well decorated with a beach theme, even the dishes were well matched. Besides the regular kitchen appliances there were lots of pots and pans and small appliances to be used in cooking any meals. However, due to a central location to a number of local restaurants you don't need to cook if you really want a relaxing vacation. The condo is right on the vast beach of fine, white sand....you can walk for hours in either direction...and we did. The weather wasn't the warmest this year but we still enjoyed the beach and our daily walks. We bought two beach chairs that we only used a couple of times...we left them in the bedroom closet with the hopes that they can be enjoyed by future guests. We did have one small problem with some unwanted crawlers, which is common in the area, but it only took one phone call to maintenance/property management to get everything straightened away....great service. We were very pleased to be there for a Snowbird Appreciation Night put on by a few of the owners/renters..they supplied wine, cheese, crackers, meats. A representative of the Canadian Snowbird Association was on hand to bring us up to date on matters that affect vacationers. It was a great meet and greet and was much appreciated by us all. It was a real pleasure staying in this condo.......hopefully we can return some time in the future.

Sarah & Hugh's condo at 1205W was perfect & just as described in their ad-Perfection in Paradise! I am very familiar with PCB and the many locations that condos are spread throughout. I knew I wanted to stay on Thomas Drive because it is less congested but still centrally located to the things that we wanted to do. (WAL MART is just around the corner!) When I found their ad I thought it sounded perfect and it was! The photos supplied are very accurate but really don't do justice to the actual condo and views. We had stunning spectacular sunsets from the patio. THE MOST AMAZING VIEWS EVER! Not only are you SMACK DAB on the beach but you have views in both directions-INCREDIBLE! We enjoyed breakfast and lunches on the patio every day! The condo was clean & well maintained. Plenty of linens & starter supplies. The condo was equipped with flat screens in in the Living Room and bedroom, which was nice, I noticed other condos still had outdated TV's. I cooked breakfast, lunch and a couple of dinners, the kitchen was fully equipped and ample cookware and dishes! Loved the ocean themed light blue plates. Any questions that I had prior to arrival, both Sarah and Hugh were helpful in answering questions! Their info provided prior to check in had all the pertinent info along with suggestions for dining. We actually found a nice little place called Pier 77 off Thomas that I had never eaten at before, it was amazing food. I have already recommended this condo to friends that will be looking for a place to stay in PCB. This was my boyfriend's first trip to PCB, FL and thanks to this condo, it will not be his last. He has now fell in love with the emerald waters that were so beautifully visible from 1205W Sunbird! Thank you Sarah & Hugh!!! Mickey J. Nashville, TN

By John, Posted: 12/04/2016

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in Sarah and Hugh's Sunbird unit. Everything they claimed the unit to be was accurate; very clean, well equiped and what beautiful views all day and night long. The sunbird is perfectually situated for any day trips all along the Panama City Beach area. Our next vacation trip to the area we will definitely stay here or at any of their other properties because talking to them and seeing how honest and truely caring they are, we know we will be treated very fairly and get what we paid for--a great vacation place!

By Daniel, Posted: 12/04/2016

This condo was "THE" place to stay at Sunbird. Everything we needed was in the condo. Best View around. You could see the ocean no matter what room you were in. Loved having the 2 beach chairs available each day. Pool was also great. Must visit Pineapple Willy's next door. Hugh and Sarah were very great to work with. Reserved on Friday and arrived on Monday. Great find at the last minute!!!!!!!

By D & J, Posted: 12/04/2016

This is the second time we have rented from the owners but the first time to stay in this unit, and we have had good experiences both times. It is very pleasant to do business with the owners. This unit is exactly as described. It is well-maintained. The location is great, because it has an awesome view of the beach, and it is off of the main road but within walking distance to Walmart and other stores, restaurants, and attractions. The parking lot is gated and very convienient. There is a laundry room on the ground floor, but it takes 7 quarters per load for the washer and the dryer--so take some rolls of quarters along if you plan to wash any clothes. There are 3 nice outdoor swimming pools. I HIGHLY recommend this unit and the owners for a reasonably priced place for families to stay that is right on the beach. We are already planning to rent this unit again.

By Hope, Posted: 12/04/2016

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sunbird. The condo is beautiful and the view is breathtaking! We stayed through New Years and watched fireworks on the beach. Salt Water Grill was the best place to get a really nice dinner just a few blocks from the condo like everything else you may need or want. ZooWorld was great! you are up close and personal with all the animals and can get awesome pics. We spent alot of time on the balcony enjoying the view and the 70-75 degree weather most of the time. The only bad part was leaving! thanks again Hugh and Sarah for everything and being there for us no matter what we needed! we will be back Lord willing.

By Ashley & Sean, Posted: 12/04/2016

If you're looking to stay in Panama City Beach, look no further, this condo is THE place to stay. It is located perfectly in the center of the beach. The views from every room in the condo are breathtaking, the beach chairs are set up everyday, the pool is amazing, and best of all, you simply step off the pool deck to the beach! Walmart is within walking distance as well as plenty of places to eat. Pineapple Willy's is a great place to go eat dinner at sunset, and just relax. Even the wonderful pictures posted here give no justice to the views you will have from this wonderful condo. I wanted to go parasailing, and simply told the beach service I'd like to go and they picked me up right at the beach. The kitchen is a great part of this condo, you will enjoy cooking breakfast and eating it on the balcony overlooking the emerald waters.

The listing was right on. We have stayed at the Sunbird for several years now in many units, but this unit lived up to everything Hugh and Sarah promised, and more. It was a beautifully decorated condo, very comfortable with a truly wonderful view from every room. Attention to every detail was obvious in the decor and the comfort of the furniture. The bed was great, the TV's were a special plus for my husband. I would highly recommend Sarah's Condos to anyone. In fact, we cannot wait until our next visit. They have truly spoiled us. We enjoyed calm seas, perfect weather, great seafood at the Captains Table, the Back Porch, Margatitaville and more. Close to everything. It was really the best vacation we have had in many years. Thanks so much Sarah and Hugh for your hospitality. See you in May!

We had a great time at the Sunbird this fall. Emerald Beach Properties were great to work with. The condo we stayed in was clean and well maintained. We had driven for about 10 hrs to get there and Emerald Beach Properties were kind enough to let us in 2 hours early. Thanks

Great place to stay. Have stayed here since 2007. Feels like a home away from home but with a lot of relaxation. Trying to get back in a few weeks before it gets to cool for the beach.

We loved staying in the Compass Rose Penthouse! The views were amazing! Everything about the condo was fantastic. The bed was super comfortable and we loved waking up to the view of the ocean. The resort itself was great as well, loved the pools, and being ocean front. Being next door to Pineapple Willys was a plus, we ended up eating there twice because it was so convenient! Overall a great trip and can't wait to visit again!

Great view, and looked exactly like shown on the website.
I'm glad that we chose this unit despite another recommendation from the managemaent company. We enjoyed staying here very much. My mom's a wheelchair dependent and bedritten due to terminal illness. I wanted her to enjoy this trip. She was able to look out from the bedroom or the living room to see the beach. We loved that there's no carpet so it's very easy to move the wheechair around. The kitchen was well equipped. It's very comfortable. It's also very convenient, not even 5 min. drive to Walmart , drug stores and only 6 miles to PCB and a walking distant to Pineapple Willy's restaurant which has a pier. There're also plenty of activities like jet ski, banana boats, dolphin tours.Eventhough the unit was very clean,we did see one small cockroach in the living room, and found one that went home with us in our plastic container. Despite that we would stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family. Thank you for being a part of making this trip enjoyable for me and my mom.

We truly love 1205W. It is decorated BEAUTIFULLY, is well equipped, and the view is AWESOME! It is also nice and clean. Nikki Wilson at Emerald Beach Properties is great. She is very professional and responds quickly to any matter that you may have. We have made this our vacation spot for the past 4 years.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sunbird. The condo is beautiful and the view is breathtaking! We stayed through New Year's and watched fireworks on the beach. Salt Water Grill was the best place to get a really nice dinner just a few blocks from the condo like everything else you may need or want. Zoo World was great! You are up close and personal with all the animals and can get awesome pics. We spent alot of time on the balcony enjoying the view and the 70-75 degree weather most of the time. The only bad part was leaving! Thanks again Sarah Condos for everything and being there for us no matter what we needed! We will be back Lord willing.

This is the second time we have rented from Sarah Condos but the first time to stay in this unit, and we have had good experiences both times. It is very pleasant to do business with Sarah Condos. This unit is exactly as described. It is well-maintained. The location is great, because it has an awesome view of the beach, and it is off of the main road but within walking distance to Walmart and other stores, restaurants, and attractions. The parking lot is gated and very convenient. There is a laundry room on the ground floor, but it takes 7 quarters per load for the washer and the dryer--so take some rolls of quarters along if you plan to wash any clothes. There are 3 nice outdoor swimming pools. I HIGHLY recommend this unit and Sarah Condos for a reasonably priced place for families to stay that is right on the beach. We are already planning to rent this unit again.

This condo was "THE" place to stay at Sunbird. Everything we needed was in the condo. Best View around. You could see the ocean no matter what room you were in. Pool was also great. Must visit Pineapple Willy's next door. Sarah Condos were very great to work with. Reserved on Friday and arrived on Monday. Great find at the last minute!!!!!!!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in Sarah Condos Sunbird unit. Everything they claimed the unit to be was accurate; very clean, well equipped and what beautiful views all day and night long. The sunbird is perfectly situated for any day trips all along the Panama City Beach area. Our next vacation trip to the area we will definitely stay here or at any of their other properties because talking to them and seeing how honest and truly caring they are, we know we will be treated very fairly and get what we paid for--a great vacation place!

Sarah condos at 1205W was perfect & just as described in their ad-Perfection in Paradise! I am very familiar with PCB and the many locations that condos are spread throughout. I knew I wanted to stay on Thomas Drive because it is less congested but still centrally located to the things that we wanted to do. (WAL MART is just around the corner!) When I found their ad I thought it sounded perfect and it was! The photos supplied are very accurate but really don't do justice to the actual condo and views. We had stunning spectacular sunsets from the patio. THE MOST AMAZING VIEWS EVER! Not only are you SMACK DAB on the beach but you have views in both directions-INCREDIBLE! We enjoyed breakfast and lunches on the patio every day! The condo was clean & well maintained. Plenty of linens & starter supplies. The condo was equipped with flat screens in in the Living Room and bedroom, which was nice, I noticed other condos still had outdated TV's. I cooked breakfast, lunch and a couple of dinners, the kitchen was fully equipped and ample cookware and dishes! Loved the ocean themed light blue plates. Any questions that I had prior to arrival, Sarah Condos were helpful in answering questions! Their info provided prior to check in had all the pertinent info along with suggestions for dining. We actually found a nice little place called Pier 77 off Thomas that I had never eaten at before, it was amazing food. I have already recommended this condo to friends that will be looking for a place to stay in PCB. This was my boyfriend's first trip to PCB, FL and thanks to this condo, it will not be his last. He has now fell in love with the emerald waters that were so beautifully visible from 1205W Sunbird! Thank you Sarah Condos!!! Mickey J. Nashville, TN

What a wonderful vacation in PCB for the month of February.....too bad they couldn't control the weather. We have stayed at the Sunbird before and really enjoy the area, close to all the essentials. But this condo has the best view of the beach and gulf from the 12th floor......windows galore. A comfortable lounge is right in front of the large windows, a great place to relax and enjoy the view.....like beach and dolphins. And the extra bonus is the patio door from the bedroom to the balcony....leaving the door open a bit at night led to the most relaxing sleep on a comfortable king size bed, oh the sounds of the waves. The condo was clean, bright and airy...well decorated with a beach theme, even the dishes were well matched. Besides the regular kitchen appliances there were lots of pots and pans and small appliances to be used in cooking any meals. However, due to a central location to a number of local restaurants you don't need to cook if you really want a relaxing vacation. The condo is right on the vast beach of fine, white sand....you can walk for hours in either direction...and we did. The weather wasn't the warmest this year but we still enjoyed the beach and our daily walks. We bought two beach chairs that we only used a couple of times...we left them in the bedroom closet with the hopes that they can be enjoyed by future guests. We did have one small problem with some unwanted crawlers, which is common in the area, but it only took one phone call to maintenance/property management to get everything straightened away....great service. We were very pleased to be there for a Snowbird Appreciation Night put on by a few of the owners/renters. They supplied wine, cheese, crackers, and meats. A representative of the Canadian Snowbird Association was on hand to bring us up to date on matters that affect vacationers. It was a great meet and greet and was much appreciated by us all. It was a real pleasure staying in this condo.......hopefully we can return some time in the future.
