Shipwatch Surf & Yacht #802A | Beachfront Condo!

We were not super impressed with this condo. We love the Perdido area and have seen nice units at Shipwatch, but this particular unit leaves much to be desired. It is very dated. Old furniture, drawers that are difficult to open/shut. Needs a fresh coat of paint. Honestly just needs a total remodel. When you walk on the balcony it has nasty flood bags lining the entire balcony. I assume they’re having issues with moisture getting in the unit from outside? Either way, they were an eye sore and you had to step over gooey bags every time you step outside. Otherwise the view from the balcony was beautiful. The mattresses were very comfortable (probably our favorite part of the room), but the furniture otherwise was dated. Old bed frames, old couch that had a rip where stuffing was coming out up top. The washer is a front loader and has an obvious smell. The garbage disposal wasn’t functioning and when we tried to clean it out it had beer tops, etc from previous guests. I’ve honestly never left a negative review but we were pretty disappointed in this condo. It seems like the owners are not putting back any money into upkeep. Just overall not worth the price we paid. The grounds were decent but nothing immaculate as far as upkeep. We’ve had better stays at nearby condos.

We had a great time and enjoyed our room. We will definitely go back again.

Easy check in. Very clean and well kept. Comfortable beds and living room.

The location and view were awesome..The condo needs a professional deep cleaning, and the water damage repaired.A few issues we brought to the management company were handled promptly.

Great, roomy property

Enjoyed our stay. Would book again.

The property was easy to access and easy to find. Great location right on the beach with an excellent view. Everything was explained in the listing. No surprises. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location! Right on beach! Beautiful view! Large balcony! Only downside was the legs on the chairs to one of the tables on the balcony were corroded, so you can’t sit in them.

Wished for another Bed in the second room; most 2 bedroom condos at Shipwatch have a double and a single bed in that second room. Or, 2 doubles.

The property is great and the location is great. We have stayed at Shipwatch many times and this condo was superb. The problems we ran into were with Southern Vacation Rentals that manage the reservations. They never sent us an email or text with the door code, so we waited unnecessarily for hours until we could reach them by phone. And they seemed completely unconcerned that this had happened. Also, there was a large spider in the condo which we were never quick enough to kill. We just kept our things off the floor, but it concerns me that the managers are not taking proper care of the property.
