Look no further for a wonderful home away from home with just a few steps to the beach; THIS PLACE IS IT! The host thought of absolutely everything you could need for your stay, from your kitchen to your bath and beach necessities. We were thoroughly impressed. My sister loved the bedroom/fan light so much she purchased one for her own home. The host is wonderful, very communicative, and answered my questions in a timely manner. She even provided a welcome gift upon arrival. She also provides a great PDF brochure with information on her home, a check list for your travels, and area information. The home is well maintained and beautifully decorated. Loved the bottom floor location and designated parking too. Amazing part of the beach if you’re looking for a quiet, less busy, relaxing time. This was our first time staying at an air BNB, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay here in the future. The views are amazing! We had a wonderful time. Definitely worth more than 5 stars!

One word, “Accessibility.” For a family with little ones, this was perfect. I have a little one with special needs and it was amazing not having to be worried about the balcony railings. Being on ground floor and by the beach walk way was awesome. The beach was almost empty while the far right/left where the high raises are were packed tight with people. Easy access to the front door from parking all way to easy access to the beach. I would totally hook this place without hesitation next time and we will be back as long as Alicia allows us to do so. BTW she was fast at responding and was very accommodating

Loved the beach right out the back door. And the bed was awesome!!!

What a beautifully done space. Pictures were completely accurate. Literally about 20 steps to the lovely beach.
Alicia was very kind, responsive, and offered everything you need for a comfy stay (except a box of Kleenex… 😜). There was even a tray of chocolate covered strawberries in the fridge!
Fantastic location. The strip of beach by the few small houses/buildings in this area - though bounded by high rises - was very uncrowded while in front of the mega buildings it was packed. #winning
Fantastic food at Bayou on the Bay (amazing grits!) and Uncle Ernie’s was fun. Get a table on an upper level by the water and watch the sunset. Try a kolache at Sunrise Cafe!
Families with kids could be busy from dawn to dusk at all the over-the -top, ‘old Florida’ type attractions right nearby. As an old lady solo traveler they made me shudder a little, but Alicia’s place is tucked away enough that I could ignore them. 😬 Something for everyone.

Alicia was a great host for our stay at the beach. The condo was in excellent condition. We found everything we needed I would definitely recommend her for any future rental needs

Our stay at Alicia’s could not have been more perfect for our girls trip get away! Alicia has been the most kind Airbnb host I’ve had in a while, with her pdf handbook on everything to do nearby and all the local tips; to welcoming us with a charcuterie board after our day of travel, which was very thoughtful! The location is so perfect, just steps from the beach and she provides you with beach chairs, beach blanket, towels and the super handy cart to get everything to the beach! We really loved the colors and the happy vibe the condo gave off it had us feeling so relaxed and ready to have a good time away from everyday life. Would highly recommend staying here and we hope to visit again soon!

Ali welcomed us with chocolate covered strawberries in the fridge. Woohoo!
The place was charming with a nautical flair. Her place is such a great, cute retreat for anyone looking for a getaway and quiet time at the beach. You’ll be seconds away from beautiful, fine white sand and pristine ocean water.
The condo is well maintained with many conveniences such as keyless entry, indoor laundry (detergent included 👍), beach toys, umbrella and chairs, Roku TVs, kitchenware and beautiful decorations.
Ali checked in with us periodically to ensure everything was fine. Kudos to her for doing this!
Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others who are looking for a lovely beachfront home.

Perfect Vacation! This condo is in the perfect location. We walked the beach every morning and evening. We spent our days relaxing on the beach just steps away from the back door. It was quiet and cozy, and our host was tremendous. She cared for us the entire time. Her attention to detail, made our stay simple and easy... she really has thought of everything.

Best beach experience! The beach is my favorite place so we visit 4-5 times every year. I have stayed in condos from Gulf Shores to PCB, and this was by far the very best! All of the small details make a big difference- the welcome snacks, the beach supplies & towels, the drink holders, it is ALL done with guests in mind. You can’t beat the location, literally a few steps from the sand. First floor access is especially convenient with no elevators to wait for! I absolutely want to return to this location on a future visit. Thank you for an amazing vacation!

Amazing stay 20-30 steps to the beach!!!!! This place is AMAZING! It's on the ground level so you can just walk out of the door 20-30 steps to the beach! If you are looking for an updated place right on the beach this is the perfect place for you! We would definitely stay here again!

Simply Amazing This beach front condo is Beautiful and immaculately clean inside! The location with the beach right out your back door, no need to look any further, just book it now!! The beds are comfy in both rooms and the separate closet organizers in master bedroom with drawers and hanging option were wonderful! The showers are key points for sure! It was stocked with 2 beach chairs, wagon, and an umbrella as well as sand free beach towels! Tons of nice bath towels are provided in both bathrooms. Washer/dryer was located in the kitchen, which made it nice! We took our own soaps. Tide, paper towels, dryer sheets etc., but Alicia has all these items stocked which is very accommodating if you forget anything. The beach wasn’t over crowded. We took our chairs down early to set up, we wanted close to the water. There is no street noise and nice parking. My family Thanked me multiple times for booking here and not one of the high rise resorts. Gulf Coast Burgers is our favorite when in PCB, plus it’s super close. Walmart is like 2 minutes away which was very nice for groceries. We had an Amazing week here and will definitely book again. Alicia was super responsive to my questions from day one and still in contact up to arriving. I wish her family the Best with this Beautiful place. They take great pride in their place and you can tell. They also had chocolate covered strawberries delivered to us on our Anniversary which was our first day there. I Highly recommend booking here!!

Everything we needed for a perfect family getaway!…I just had this huge review typed up but learned VRBO limits to 1500 characters! We traveled with myself, husband, 2 & 6 yr old daughters and 17 & 19 yr old nephews. Drove from Indiana. LOCATION - perfection! you are a few minutes away from walmart and other necessities but you are literally right on the beach and do not feel those places are anywhere near you. we were able to walk back and forth from the condo to the beach without packing a cooler. your area on the beach is never crowded. we went out early AM, lunch time and mid afternoon and were always able to set up at the waters edge. There are also gyms near by if your teenagers are gym junkies like mine ;) CONDO - beds are better than our beds at home and that's saying something. my husband never sleeps well outside of our bed and he never complained of back pain! Ali & Matt have all necessities for making your own meals and even have tumblers, wine glasses and kids dinnerware there. They also have all the beach necessities there so you do not have to pack yours! We said several times during our stay we found "our place" to come back to annually. We never felt we were at a resort or getting frustrated with crowds (like we have at resorts). It truly felt like we were on island time. never delt with crowds, the kids could sprawl out and play without us hovering over them. Ali & Matt did a wonderful job at making their condo a perfect place for our family to stay. I highly recommend them!!!

Just what we needed...Where do I start...we have stayed in many different properties at PCB, both the west and east ends and this unit is definitely one that we would like to return to. In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we requested to extend our stay for an additional night and the owner gladly took care of setting that up for us. Vista Mar has all that you will need. We loved having the easy access of being on the ground floor. This allowed us to just push our wagon and cooler right up to the back patio where they stayed for the week...no sand in the condo. The unit is fully equipped and newly renovated. The owner realizes the important things like charging stations for phones on both nightstands and in the tv room. She even had the bathroom stocked with things like hair ties, q-tips, cotton balls, etc. I always pack necessities like laundry detergent, dish soap, etc....Well there was no need at Vista Mar. The closet is packed with beach supplies, like toys, chairs and new wagon that is not even out of the box. The owner thought of everything. She even left us a snack basket and charcuterie box in the fridge. These special touches matter! We enjoyed the charcuterie as we watched a sunset with a bottle of wine. The location is great as well. We would take walks down the strip in the mornings in both directions. It has easy access to the bay where we choose to grocery shop just 5 minutes away. The Walmart is very close but tends to be crazy busy. Overall, a perfect vacation and a much needed break for this educator! Thank you for sharing your condo with us. We hope to return soon.
