beautiful apartment
The apartment was nice and clean. It was exactly as described in the listing. The bathrooms were well stocked with towels and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook several large meals. The couch and beds were the most comfortable I have ever experienced. We had a great holiday and loved staying here. We plan to return next year if it's available!

Amazing, spacious, super clean!
Great apartment, spacious and super clean. Sofa and beds were comfortable. The location was perfect. Parking was extremely tight and additional spaces are limited but that wouldn't put us off booking 1402 again! Other family members also booked with Tropic Winds but their unit was not nearly as good.

Great apartment; Parking can be a problem
We enjoyed this apartment. Great location, well furnished and good quality kitchen and bathroom items. Responsive owner/manager. However, parking was a challenge. The dedicated parking space for this unit is at the end of the row next to a wall. When other positions were filled it was very difficult to get our truck on site; A smaller car works well. There is some open parking across the street, but spaces are limited and fill up quickly. My only other "downside" would be that the mattresses are way too soft, way more than to our liking.

I can't wait to go back! !
My husband and I stay in a different PCB apartment every year but after 5 minutes in this apartment my husband said this will be our vacation spot now! The apartment is absolutely wonderful. It was so clean and beautifully decorated. The building is smaller than most that we like. Short waits for an elevator and the beach was not crowded. Quick and easy communication with the owner. We love having a designated, covered parking space, but as with all garages, spaces are tight so parking our large truck was a challenge. We'll be driving in my car next time because it's definitely not stopping us from booking again!

We were in PC Beach for the Seabreeze Jazz Festival and some R&R. Owners provide everything you need. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need if you prefer to cook your own meals instead of eating out. Wonderful stay!

Quiet and pleasant beach
The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable. Building and beach are beautiful. The beach was quieter than others around us due to the smaller size of the building and houses on either side. Two young men who run the chair rentals were very nice and friendly. Good that two chairs are included in the rent. Additional chairs were $50 per day for two people. Expensive but nice to have! The apartment had the basics for cooking but was definitely lacking in most apartments I've stayed in. The car was damaged by condo chairs that were not properly repaired during an overnight thunderstorm which was frustrating and expensive! Overall I would recommend this apartment.

beautiful apartment
The apartment was clean and beautiful with a perfect sea view and everything we needed. Scott was great to work with and when we had a problem with the internet on arrival he quickly got someone to fix it. The chairs and umbrella provided were a wonderful addition. It was an easy drive to Rosemary Beach for shopping and restaurants. Definitely recommend!

Well furnished and very clean
Condo is as shown in the photos. It's very clean. No sand on tiles and carpet in rooms was clean. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of crockery and cutlery. There was also a good supply of good quality towels. The building was well maintained and everyone we encountered was nice. Owner communication was great. I had a small problem at check-in which I attempted to resolve with a phone call. My only wish was that the beds were firmer. They look high quality, but too soft for our personal taste. Living room and kitchen area are nice. Large flat screen TVs and high speed WiFi. Bottom line yes, we would stay here again.

I wish I could give 10 stars!!!!
The description and photos do not do justice to this property. We stay on the Gulf Coast frequently and hope to stay here again. Very close to a quiet part of the beach. A newer hotel with great parking. The unit was wonderful - great kitchen for meal prep, furnished with quality, comfortable furniture (I loved that big sofa!) and very clean. The view from the balcony was stunning - we loved sitting there and watching dolphins. Ideal for our family of 4 teenagers. This really went beyond a perfect place to stay. Scott and Leigh were great to work with - very responsive and friendly. You won't find a better VRBO...

The room had everything you need to cook and prepare your own meals. There was plenty of space (felt overcrowded) for 4 adults and 2 children. The view was amazing, friendly and helpful staff. The pool was big and the area always clean. I loved that the beach was right there and the neighborhood was nice. Close to so many things, food, shopping and fun. We'll be back in the same place. Our girls loved it.

Beautiful apartment with a beautiful view
This property was very well maintained and our unit was perfect for our family of 5. The large porch was so nice for family dinners and separating our 3 kids during virtual school days. The apartment was well furnished and very clean. The complex wasn't busy so we never had to wait for the elevator. We never heard any noise from other units, not even on the balcony. Covered parking was conveniently located at the beach access which meant we didn't have to lug beach gear into the condo day in and day out. We could put it in the back of the minivan for the next day. The kids also enjoyed the pool area. We would have used the gas grills but there were no proper BBQ utensils in the condo. Not a big deal but we used the very large slow cooker to cook some meals as soon as we got back from the beach as the sun went down as sun sets at 6pm in mid-October. Overall it was a great place to stay cheaply for shopping and dining and we would stay again. We also loved that there was a buffer of smaller buildings on either side, making the beach less crowded.

Perfect apartment for family vacation
Let me start with this condo and the property manager far exceeded my expectations. It was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and was a real home away from home. From the cozy sofa, the comfortable beds; I would recommend this apartment 100 times. Esther met us at check-in and also chatted up a few times during the week with updates as things went on. She really made our stay worry free. My only complaint was the designated parking space we had. It was a little difficult to get on and off as it was against the wall and it was super difficult to get on and off. I wouldn't even try to park our rental SUV myself as it made me super nervous. Overall the apartment, Esther, the property and the location were fantastic. We would definitely book this apartment if we return to the area! !

Response from VrboOwner, on May 27, 2020
Melissa, thank you for this wonderful review. I really want it. Yes, the reserved parking spaces are a bit tricky to navigate in a really big vehicle. The positive point of the reserved parking space is that it is in a covered garage, very close to the elevators. You don't have to park in a huge garage across the street and forget which floor you parked on, and you don't have to walk for miles to finally reach the apartment. I think there is no perfect option. I would love to have you as my guests again. ester

Excellent stay and very impressed!
The apartment itself was really nice and the view was beautiful. It exceeded our expectations. It's close to everything you need. The reserved loungers and umbrellas were a great added bonus! I was also impressed by the low noise level. I didn't hear anyone from the surrounding condos even while we were on the porch. Esther herself is fantastic. She was very helpful and attentive. If we needed anything she was happy to help or answer any questions we had. I would book with her again and again! The only criticism is the reserved parking space in the underground car park. It's at the end and a very small parking lot. We had a van and it was extremely difficult to get in and out. The pool door on the condo leads to the car park and someone actually knocked on our rental door when we tried to get out. It's not Esther's fault but I believe the apartment needs to eliminate that space and create a safer and easier to park space. Otherwise we had a fantastic trip and we hated leaving! Thank you Esther for sharing your lovely apartment and for being such a fantastic host!

This was the best apartment! It was close to the beach and the reserved parking space was amazing! Everything super convenient! We love the big comfy couch! All the appliances were super nice and the balcony was a great size! I can't say enough about Esther ❤️ she is a gem! When we were on the beach one night the electricity was flickering and we noticed the air was not working around 10pm. I texted Esther and she called the handyman upstairs and we were fine straight away! Elevators were fast and hardly had a wait even in July! Very close to the Pierpark! Thanks again to Esther and the owners for providing such a great apartment at an affordable price! Love from Roanoke, AL❤️

This apartment is beautiful and the balcony and view are amazing!!!
The place was peaceful and well decorated. The apartment was quiet and the view was to die for. The pool and hot tub were clean and well maintained and parking was great too. Access to the beach is fantastic and my elderly mother was able to walk to and from the sea due to the proximity. The only thing I would recommend is to bring your own beach towels. I didn't bring any so I'm writing it down just to warn you. I decided against it as I was flying and staying in other condos they provided. Overall Esther was fantastic to work with and she came late at night and replaced our coffee maker for us within 15 minutes of my request. Great place to stay and I highly recommend it. Again the furniture was fantastic and the owner/decorator obviously has wonderful taste.
