Ocean Reef 701 - Gulf Front - Prime Location, 3-story Townhouse

Great stay on the beach

Spent a week in this lovely condo. Nicely decorated. Great location at the beach and a short walk to Bahama Bob's, Hangout, and souvenir shops. Definitely would stay here again. - (Jul 2025)

Overall, this was a nice rental located right on the beach and walking distance to several restaurants and shops. Upstairs loft bedroom was hot but we found a box fan and used that. The only can opener we found was rusty and didn't work so we had to make a store run to get a new one which we left behind for the next guests to use. Other than that, nothing to complain about. - (Jul 2025)

Gulf stay

We loved this location. It was so perfect for my family as we just welcomed a little baby into our family and we needed a stay where we could go back and forth to the vrbo and beach easily. We were a little nervous about sharing a porch with others because of our kids liking to run around but it wasn't a problem at all. The vrbo is well stocked just make sure you bring hand soap. - (Sep 2024)

Great location but.. 
It was an amazing location! The kids loved being able to walk to get ice cream and shop and do all things Pokemon! If you plan on spending any time on the deck know that privacy will be at a premium! You not only share a deck with 3 other units but you are on the end where people are also washing off from the beach and that's where you car is, so beware of people walking by with all their beach supplies. You are also very close the next unit when on the deck (people from the unit over even propped a raft up to give a little privacy while we were all out on the deck together). Things are older but it was clean. The beds were comfortable and it had almost every kitchen supply we needed (no measuring cups but we managed). The 3rd level was VERY hot when we arrived. They ask all the fans to be off when you leave and you could feel the heat at the bottom of the steps. Once the ceiling fan ran it felt much better the next day but wish we would have brought a small fan. We did have an issue with the garbage disposal breaking and it was replaced quickly while we were out one day.

We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the prime location and that your kids had a fantastic time exploring the area and engaging in activities! We appreciate your feedback regarding the deck area and privacy concerns. While the deck is shared among 3 units (the space in front of your unit is for your use only) and does not have privacy dividers, we will pass your feedback along to the property owners for future consideration. This setup has been in place since the property was built, but your input is valuable as we continue to look for ways to improve guest comfort. We apologize for any confusion regarding our departure instructions. We do not ask guests to turn off the fans; however, we do request that lights, TVs, and other appliances be turned off upon departure to help us conserve energy. We are glad to hear that the cleanliness of the property met your expectations and that the beds were comfortable. We also appreciate your note about the missing measuring cups; we will ensure they are included in the kitchen for future guests. Regarding the temperature on the third level, we apologize for any discomfort you experienced upon arrival. We are reviewing our procedures to better manage the temperature and will take your suggestion of bringing a small fan into account for future reference. Thank you for acknowledging the quick resolution of the garbage disposal issue. We strive to address maintenance concerns as swiftly as possible to ensure a smooth stay for our guests. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
