    Jeff and Jeanette's Moon Jelly Retreat was perfect for us! Love the condo itself and location in PCB. Have already booked a return trip. Had issue with the Roku tv and Jeff was very fast in helping us getting it working. Thank you for sharing your adorable condo with us!

    I absolutely loved the condo and hope to stay again. The owners have taken great care to create a comfortable and stylish place right on the beach. The view is stunning. The bed is very comfortable and the linens were of a high quality. Plenty of towels and beach gear. Loved the condo building. It is not one of the giant high-rises - much more friendly and less crowded. I enjoyed the free use of the beach chair and of the umbrella as well. Sadly, Hurricane Helena interrupted my stay and I had to leave two days early. Great communication with owner.

    We had a wonderful stay at Top of the Gulf. It’s an older facility but has been really well kept! The pool area was great!! All of the staff were very accommodating! The only reason we gave it an overall rating of 4 stars is because of the mattress on the bed and day bed. The day bed is worse than the queen bed. The queen bed needs box springs and that may help. If you have any kind of back issues, you will have issues with the beds. There also needs to be a chair other than the chairs at the table to sit on.

    Stay was perfect for two people! Loved every bit of the stay. Only wish is that there was a couch in front of the tv rather the smaller bed. Besides that I was very impressed.

    We loved everything about this cute condo! It comfortably slept all 4 of us with plenty of room ! And all the little touches were so nice. All the sand toys you could think of, beach chairs, plenty of towels and even the coffee pods! We absolutely loved it!

    The view from the room was amazing, we especially loved the large side window. However, the space was just too small for 4 people, in my opinion. We had two adults, a teenager and my 10 year old. The pull out couch is really a trumble bed and the couch part was horribly creaky. Every time my husband moved it woke us up. Also, since the trundle sat on the floor he got up in the night, tripped over it and fell. There was no walkway. The bathroom was tiny. We didn’t have anywhere to hang up wet swimsuits or towels. The place was decorated nicely and management was very quick to respond when I let them know the door code wasn’t working. We were just given a code and no other instructions, but apparently we were supposed to know it was hit “lock” door code hold “lock” for 2 seconds). It didn’t work half the time anyway. I wouldn’t plan on four people staying here, two maybe three.

    We loved our stay at Top of the Gulf! The condo was perfect for our needs and we appreciated the beach chairs and the umbrella being included! Also the coffee and snacks! Every turn to get to our room had amazing views!! We loved being so close to the beach and also 2 State parks. We came to relax and that's exactly what we did, thank you!!
