Florence I 302 - Humble,bargain beachfront gem;Great area;Nice pool

The view was superb!!! The condo was clean and well supplied with everything needed. It was in need of some minor cosmetic repairs. I would definitely recommend this condo, we were not disappointed.

This property is located on a quiet, family friendly, less crowded part of the island. Although an older property, it was clean and well maintained. The direct beach access and breathtaking gulf front view cannot be matched for the price. The condo furnishings were older, but comfortable. The hall bunks were large enough for my 6 foot tall son to sleep comfortably. Not to mention check in/check out could not have been easier. We will definitely be returning!

Great communication for ease of checking in, parking, and security codes.

Very simple

We are a family of 6 so convenience is a must. This condo was in an awesome location. It was easy quick access to the beach. There was always a spot on the property to park. The location to restaurants and activities was great. Check-in was easy. Would definitely stay here again.

The only good thing about this place was the view — absolutely beautiful and the only highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, everything else was a major letdown.We booked a non-smoking unit, but the bedroom was carpeted and smelled heavily of smoke. The curtains also reeked, and the carpet was stained throughout, making the room feel dirty and uninviting. The mattresses were very uncomfortable, adding to the sleepless nights. Some nights, we couldn’t even sleep in the bedroom because it was so bad.The layout was strange, with a long, dark hallway leading to a bright living room, thanks to the view. However, the furniture didn’t match the photos online, which was disappointing.The elevators were hot and stuffy, and the hallways smelled musty and were poorly lit, making the whole building feel neglected. Each morning I’d wake up coughing from the smoke smell, and I felt sick during much of the stay.Two positives: the view and the elevator for moving our things — but that’s where it ends.I will never stay here again. It was a truly unpleasant experience, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

We love staying at The Florence. It is on the beach and the parking rules are enforced. The property company was on-call 24/7 and quickly responded to any issues. We love SPI and will return. The rental itself was exactly what is advertised. It is humble, but it works. We would happily stay again.If we are able to rent this condo again, we will bring a fan. We are from a drier part of the state and need more air circulation. LOL. There were some previous reviews that had carpet concerns. I am going to second those concerns. It is incredibly considerate of the owner to allow guests to bring their animals, but I do think some animals have gotten a little too comfortable in the carpeted areas. Overall the rental is great for the price, the location is fabulous, and the rental company was phenomenal.

The stay was good and a the beach view was amazing, the only downside of the condo was the furniture needs to be upgraded and the restroom door did not locked.

Love the proximity to the ocean and the deck. We like staying at the Florence in general. The only downside of this condo is the carpet in the bedroom, but the discounted price accounts for that. Absolutely love the chairs on the deck.

5/5 Stars!I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with this condo rental through VRBO! As a first-time user, I was impressed by how seamless and easy the booking process was.The condo itself was absolutely awesome! Its proximity to the beach was a major plus, and the cozy atmosphere made it the perfect haven for my family (my wife and two teenagers). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back!Highly recommend this condo.

Came for sun which was not cooperative but that is how it works. Thank you.

Thanks!

The beachfront view was great. We really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony when we were not out on the beach. The condo was cozy. We had some issues with the TV & internet connection but maintenance came out right away & fixed it. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay.
