Sandy Shores 503 2 BR Gulf Front

Great location. Close to shopping and the boardwalk. We did have an issue in the condo with lights not turning on in the Second bedroom and bathroom. Also, the VRBO extra fees for this condo were kinda high. The elevator was also really slow.

Do not rent this unit! This unit is nasty! Hasn't had a good cleaning in a long time, the front door looks like two pigs were wresting against it, the floors were half swept and mopped, the base boards have a layer of dirt and hair on them, the couch is supposed to be a white or off white, it's a dirty brown, furniture is broken, doors on closets are broken, both showers need scrubbed, and the outside table hasn't been wiped down all summer. HVAC has a moldy, musty smell. We had to wash the bedding, coffee pot had old coffee in it, and we had to wash every dish we pulled out of a cabinet or drawer. no washer and dryer in unit, 2 for every load washed and dried. Seemed to have newer beds and the location is good but not worth the money. all correspondents come from John's pass condos... terrible customer service. when we arrived, we were sent the wrong code for the door and after calling the emergency line 6 times, I finally was able to reach them through email, and the correct code was sent. We left a day early. This place is a nightmare!

Me and a couple of my girlfriends were in need of a vacation bad, we wanted nothing more than to sleep in and go down to the beach and relax all day, we booked this condo because we thought it would be perfect to roll out of bed and chill on the balcony in the mornings while eating breakfast then head out to beach whenever we were ready to do so, well when we got to the place there was a note on the door saying we had to be out of our place by 9 am to 3 pm on the last two days of our stay! To say that put a damper on our plans was an understatement!! There was loud noises going on the entire stay because of renovations! Elevator didn’t need the required code anyone could use it which made us feel unsafe! We made several phone calls to VRBO and the host and was finally given a refund for those two days, but the condition of the place which we were all willing to overlook because of the location and the amazing views kind of started to really make us upset, dirty, dirty floors, we had to keep our shoes on because of how black our feet would get if we didn’t, the fridge was all smeared with what looks like it was wiped down with a dirty rag, the second bathroom tub was disgusting with what looked like hair in the drain which made it drain slow, the curtain rod in the main bedroom were hanging by a thread and crooked, i could go on and on. Definitely needs some TLC. The views from the balcony and location is the only good things i could say about this place!

The location, pool, beach, restaurants and shopping were great. Our condo was just okay. The manager never gave us the code for our room. Luckily the door was unlocked and we left it unlocked our entire stay. One key and no code helps a family of 4. The pictures were all on a closet, paint splatters everywhere, clear sealant all over the glass table and chairs on the balcony. The curtain rod was hanging by a tread, clearly not hug correctly. The washer beeped nonstop and I asked the manager to check it out only to find it unplugged. Overall, the place was livable, but well overpriced for what we stayed in.

We had a wonderful time. The location is fantastic and the view spectacular! everything was easy from the check in process to the getting loaded in to beach access. We all really enjoyed the walk ability and location. Definitely recommend!

Power went out the morning we were checking out. Luckily we were ready to checkout so it didn’t affect us much. Perfect location!!! Wish checkout time was 11 instead of 10. All in all Sandy Shores in a perfect location.

It was nice. Location real good. My kids 20 and 16 enjoyed it too.

Very happy with the unit, location balcony, etc. very friendly people. Would like to stay there again.

We really enjoyed the location of this condo. On the beach but still just a short walk away from shopping/eating. Loved it!

We do a girls weekend every year. This year was the best! The view. The location. The condo itself. All outstanding! Only bad thing I have to say is the FEES for this place are way way way way out of line. They literally DOUBLE the cost of the condo. This will be a deterrent when we are looking for next year.

We loved the condo and location. It’s a large space with plenty of room. The view was beautiful, you can see the sunsets from your balcony. So many things are within walking distance, especially John’s Pass Boardwalk right across the street. The pool is just big enough and the beach is perfect, not too wide so it was easy for the kids to walk to the water without getting worn out. The mattresses are firm memory foam which I liked but my husband hated. A few chairs and an umbrella are in the condo and we’re great to have for the beach. Be sure to bring your own beach towels! Only cons: you have to have a code for everything. The elevator or stairs, gates and door (all different codes). So make sure to take a screen shot so you don’t get stranded! The tubs are showing a lot of wear and dinginess, the master sink had some minor repair issues. Otherwise, a wonderful condo! Very friendly residents as well.
