Steps 2 Priv Bch~Pools~Renovated~PetFriendly~SouthBay by the Gulf 122 Salty Paws

Very close to the beach access and the tennis courts. Clean, kid friendly, easy parking. No beach service for this unit. I didn’t realize going into it that this would be a problem but it was a little hard to find a spot behind the chairs that allowed a view of the water so that we could keep an eye on the kids. We ended up with 7 in the house and it was tight but manageable. If we had come with 9 like we originally planned for, it would have felt like we were on top of each other.

Wouldn’t consider this property renovated..kitchen was lacking with basic supplies- no towels or dishrags. Had to call for more bedding- there were some beds with just sheets and not enuf linens for pull out couch and air mattress- thought we were going to be walk onto beach access and it was still a chore for elderly to get to beach.

Overall, the accommodations were adequate, but they did not match the expectations set by the listing photos and previous reviews.A few issues we encountered during our stay:The outdoor patio table was broken and unusable.The shower faucet in the master bathroom was loose and difficult to operate.The master bedroom light would randomly turn on during the night when the ceiling fan was running.The dryer door would not latch and was difficult to use. We also experienced some communication issues prior to and during our stay. We asked whether a grill was available and were told there was not one. However, upon arrival, we found a grill on the property that we could have used.Additionally, there was a closet stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach equipment, but we were never informed that these items were available for guest use. Had we known, we could have avoided spending additional money on beach chair rentals.While the location and overall stay were fine, better communication and attention to maintenance would have improved our experience.

The best part of the place was the location. The beach was just a short walk away and it was in a gated area. We felt very safe. Downfalls - the back deck area was not very impressive and the pictures make you think there is a hot tub by the pool but there isn’t one. What you see in the pictures is a baby pool. We would definitely stay here again!!

Place was in a great location and proximity to town and all the attractions. The property was clean and beds were comfortable. Nice to have parking right in front of the unit, and overall a nice, quiet area. My feedback on the unit is the master bathroom shower pressure wasn’t great, and the pictures made the unit look nicer than it was. The property doesn’t have direct access to the beach, but is a very short walk to the beach All around the property was nice for my family and fur babies for the week.

My favorite things about the property were easy beach access and that it was dog friendly. I thought it looked nicer in the pictures than in person. In person, it looked like there were shortcuts taken with the renovations. Neither of the showers had water pressure. The faucet in the master shower spun, and it was hard to get it on just right. The spicket in the guest shower leaked, and the shower was more of a mist. By replacing doors and some flooring here and there, this place could be better. There are wasp nests above the table on the patio. Overall, we were happy with our stay. We appreciated all the beach toys, etc in the closet outside. Thank you!

Sweet little property! Very clean! Great location. Clean and well managed. Instant response to text messages sent to management. Easy trek to the beach. Dog friendly!

Thank yall so much for the lovely handwritten note and flowers we found when we arrived. Our stay was great. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking . The guest closet with beach items was also great. While sitting outside we did have a family member sit in one of the plastic chairs and it broke.... the person is not large but the chair was very brittle. No injuries ... We enjoyed the beach daily... the surf was yellow flag most days but the weather was really good. We would definitely stay at this property again. Thanks.... also the agents that I spoke to several times were very helpful and professional. Thanks again

Property needs some TLC as there are some issues with it. It’s very close to the beach but you can’t see it from the unit. Overall it was okay and we enjoyed our stay.

Unit was as advertised. So was the nearness if the beach. The unit could use updating as far as painting of the cabinets. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Location was awesome. The master shower needs fixed so there is cold water to the left and hot water to the right. It was very difficult to operate. The floors were not cleaned before we arrived. If this place states capacity is 10, there should be supplies to accommodate those ten individuals. Ten coffee cups, towels should be at a par of 20 and heavier blankets on the beds. The ceiling fan is wired in with the lights in the living room. If the lights are off then the fan is too. We loved the location and will stay again. Just a few minor areas need to be adjusted.
