Location was convenient, right on the beach, close to restaurants and Walmart. The condo was clean, great beach view, and there werenât any loud disruptive neighbors.
The condo was clean upon arrival. Has a beautiful view of the ocean. There is a flor to ceiling window along with a few othe small windows that allow for a perfect view of the ocean. Check in was easy. The bed and pillows are extremely uncomfortable. The bed sinks in badly in the middle. It really needs replaced. The couch is hard as a rock. Not something you really want to sit on to try and relax. Thankfully we did not spend much time in our room. There are no balconies outside the rooms here which was quite disappointing since we love sitting out there at night and in the mornings. They do have balcony areas around the complex on each floor with chairs but we like a bit more privacy. This condo seems to be on the more quiet end of PCB which was nice since we don't really like all the noise and craziness of people riding up and down the strip. Overall it was a nice place and we didnt have any issues while staying here.
The room was perfect for a long weekend. Weâve stayed at the property a few times and it gets better every time. I could tell where the property had recently had major updates & was overall just better. We will definitely be better.
Overall the place was very nice. Was never able to connect to Wi-Fi. Or watch tv no local listings, major networks, or sports channels.. I would visit again. Perfect size and location
My third stay at Top of the Gulf and the best unit so far! Bright and clean, comfortable bed (pillows not so much) and perfect view of the beach and the ocean. I loved being on the top floor. I love the big picture window. I chose this unit because one window is operable, but alas, too much wind and rain, so I kept it closed. I will book this again if I ever get the chance.
We had a wonderful stay at Top of the Gulf. Our room was stocked with everything we needed. One of the best parts of the property was that it wasnât very busy at all- even in the middle of the summer. The elevators were quick and the beach was roomy.
The only drawback was that there was a picture in the listing advertising free beach service. After booking, we found out beach service was not included. We were very disappointed.
Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience.
I found the apartment to be nice. It could use a little more cleaning but wasnât gross. I did get in earlier ( which i appreciated) so I donât know if effective their cleaning time.
The bed was a little hard but for the money was a fantastic stay. Also, a dresser under the tv would be nice. We struggle to find a place to put our clothes up. Most of the staff was friendly.
Appreciate the lady in the gift shop when I needed some first aid.
Beautiful view, beautiful beach. The place was clean and had a great view. Perfect for a couple or single person.
Only complaint? Parking was 30 even though the instructions said 20, and it has to be cash. Why you have to pay to park at a bunch of condos is beyond me but thatâs ok. On-site manager was super nice though! She gave us the code to the game room and was very sweet.
The neighborhood is ok. Very touristy. It reminded me of staying on International Drive in Orlando. If you know you know. Great place though! Great walking distance to some cool restaurant/bars/fun activities. Iâm only taking a star off because charging people to park at a condo is kind of not cool. Thatâs something hotels do. We use Vrbo and that other site to get away from stuff like that. Other than that, great place!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Nice place for the money
Wasnât the cleanest so they can definitely improve on the house cleaning but other than that it was nice overall
We enjoyed our stay. The condo was in a great location and staff was great. The o ly down fall is no where to hang up clothes or dresser to put anything in. Overall it was great
The unit has a beautiful view and the pictures are accurate. The building has been very well maintained for its age. Staff was Very nice! The unit lacked some cleanliness ( just a not so deep cleaning ) sink slow to drain, flooring not especially clean, sheets did not fit the bed, small thin pillows, tv was in & out of Wi-Fi, a bit musty smell, pots and pans pretty old, All in all it was a 3.5 stars out of 5
Maybe I have high expectations but I feel this is accurate
