Great vacation condo

Everything was great. Condo was clean and we had all the dishes and appliances we needed. All the beds were very comfortable including the pull out couch. Very easy access to the beach. The only thing I would suggest is updating the DVD player in the master bedroom to blu-ray and possibly getting a larger table for the patio to accommodate a family. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

Affordable and fun!

We love staying on the beach. This condo was one of the more affordable ones on the beach for the amount of sleeping spaces for our family. We had 5 adults and one infant and we all had ample space to sleep and hangout inside the condo. We love the location of Tom Thumb being right in front of the condo so we could run and grab groceries that we needed. The pool and hot tub were clean. Other guests in the condo were friendly. This will be our new go to place for sure!

Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful condo. It had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. It is in a great location and away from crowds. The beach attendent was so nice and I made sure to bring him drinks daily. We saw dolphins at least 3 times a day!! Fudpuckers was fun and so was our visit to Grayton Beach and Seaside. This is an excellent choice in location, condo complex and unit. Thanks again!

We just returned home from our stay at Sea Dunes 203. It is a slice of paradise for sure! Thank you Amy & Greg for sharing your space with us! We appreciated that the unit had everything we needed to enjoy a stay for 4 adults and 2 kiddos. Kitchen was nicely supplied as well. We always do some cooking on vacation. None of us was ready to go home this morning as we took last pictures and soaked up the sounds of the waves. The Emerald Coast's beauty never disappoints, and it was great trom 203!
