Great location!

It was so close to the beach! A short walk. We loved the pool and game room. It was great after exhausting ourselves on the beach to return to a calm pool. Anyone who was done swimming just played games. We ordered pizza one night and had it by the pool. Great family time!

We've never stayed in this complex, but found it to be very relaxing and well-maintained. The heated pool is beautiful, clean, and very serene, plus you can see the ocean in the distance! (It was truly heated.) This place is a great bargain with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, and all guest beds in the second bedroom for privacy from the living room.

We had an issue with the door handle but the property manager had someone out to fix it promptly which was great. I felt the ad made the ocean view more accessible than it actually was and the balcony was overcrowded with chairs but I would definitely stay here again.

The walk to the beach is a quick 3-5 minutes and it's on a boardwalk so you're not trudging through hot sand with all your stuff. They have an outdoor shower to hose off the sand before you go into your condo.

Beachhead 505, the BEST place to hang out with family!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third time to stay at the Beachhead resort, and every time just gets better. There is a full kitchen, if you want to save money by cooking "at home" some meals (we have, but didn't this trip). There is a playground on sand, great for little kids when you're not up to a full beach set-up. There is a pool, and it was warm enough in November that we could have swum. The property is a half mile to two miles from pretty much everything, and we spent the whole week darting to and fro in a beach buggy. Great views and really quiet when you're ready for down time, too.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always stay at the same place when we visit. I prefer this particular condo BH 505 because you can see the ocean from your deck and the pool. They also extended the boardwalk and it takes you all the way to the ocean. I only wish it was more accommodating for larger families. The condo would be able to sleep more than 6, yet the maximum occupancy is 6. (We have six children.) The workers work hard to make sure the property is well maintained and clean.

Three night beach vacation

We chose this property for our quick 3 night beach vacation. You can tell the condo complex is a bit older. However, this unit is nicely remodeled and had all the basic amenities. My kids really enjoyed the pool and the community game room. The view of the gulf from the primary bedroom was great. Also the boardwalk out to the beach was nice, although we really only used it for quick shorter walks on the beach during the mornings or evening when it was cooler. We drove out to the beach for our longer stays in order to haul all our beach stuff (shade umbrella, beach chairs, cooler, etc). We might have been able to load it all up in our collapsing wagon and walk, but I think it would have been a difficult haul back after a long day of fun (and heat) at the beach.

spring break getaway

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the space was big enough for my 3 children, my husband and myself however the bed in the single room was extremely uncomfortable ... it actually hurt both me and my husbands backs. The light in the bathroom connected to the room with the bunkbeds was entirely too loud for children. There was a broken part of the carpet between the bedroom and bathroom that hurt my kids foot. A small drying unit would be nice to be able to have dry towels and clothes for the following day at the beach.
