The location is terrific, with the beach moments away, a great pizza shop across the street, and a short walk to The Hangout. The unit is well furnished and the owner's YouTube videos made every aspect idiot-proof. The mattresses are fabulous; in fact, my biggest complaint is they are so comfortable it's hard to get up and go have fun! Continual communications with the owners were available and the smart lock technology eliminated the hassle of having another key to keep up. Overall, a top notch destination and we'd return again happily! ##### Edward F.

We were just a few steps from the white sand and light waves. We were within walking distance to a variety of shops, restaurants, and hang outs. The condo was cute and decorated nicely. As an owner of rental properties, we have a few notices and suggestions. :) The bathrooms were pretty small and could use some hooks for hanging towels and suits that don't interfere with closing doors. It would also be helpful to have a mirror in the lofted bedroom. It was difficult to get ready when someone was in the bathroom. Overall, this unit met our expectations! We had a GREAT time and loved our first trip to the Golf Shores! ##### Charlotte J.
