Six women, friends since high school and college, convening on a beach and coming from 3 different states, could not have asked for a more wonderful trip! The condo is large enough for everyone to spread out (the main master suite with very private balcony was awesome!) and also work side by side in the kitchen preparing meals very easily. The views are fantastic and the large deck accommodated us all! The place was spotless, the decor felt upscale but still extremely comfortable and welcoming. The Brita was a nice touch. The k-cup coffee maker (in addition to a drip brewer) was great as we all have our own preferences for coffees (self-avowed coffee snob here!) The separate bar with huge ice maker and additional sink was also very convenient especially for those times when an adult beverage was the focus! There was ample room for us at the dining table, we could have added more! There are chairs for 8 along with barstools for additional dining. Other reviewers have commented on the slowness of the elevators, but we did not have any issues and the grounds of the resort are lovely. The food trucks were not available during our visit, but the courtyard where they are located looks so charming! We had a very nice meal at the Village Hideaway with great service and good food! We highly recommend a day trip (one hour drive each way) to Fairhope for shopping and dining (The Locals patio was beautiful and the food was excellent) and be sure to visit the Fairhope Municipal Pier during Sunset! And if you find yourself in Pensacola (we flew out of the Pensacola Airport) Do yourself a favor and dine at George Bistro and Bar. All in all, it was a perfect Girl's Trip. The condo was so well suited for group fun with plenty of games (we had a blast playing The Game of Things) and comfortable seating for all of us. But there were also places to sit alone and read or sit with another for a cozy chat. A few in our group are planning trips to this condo with their large families. Be prepared with a grocery store stop in Perdido Key (Publix) before you arrive as it is a bit of a trek to get back. There is a small market very close by the resort, but for specific items, you will want to be prepared. I was concerned about being so remote, but the resort offers so many amenities and the condo is so fabulous that it is definitely worth the extra preparations beforehand. You can tell that the owner's take great pride in this property. We all highly recommend.
