Great Family Beach Trip

We had a great stay! The location truly can’t be beat, just steps from the beach, which made it so easy to come and go throughout the day. Parking was a huge plus and super convenient. The host was responsive, and check-in was smooth. We also really appreciated the simple checkout process with minimal requirements.The unit itself could use a little TLC to make it feel more refreshed, but overall, it provided what we needed for a an enjoyable trip.

Wonderful Stay

We had a great time staying here! The condo was very clean and just as pictured. The pool area was nice and the proximity to the beach was awesome! Also, it’s within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. We did quite a few of the suggested activities such as the Dolphin Fun Cruise, mini golf, The Warf, and The Hangout which were all great as well! We had so much fun and would highly recommend staying here!

Fabulous condo

My husband and rented this lovely condo for ourselves, my mother and 20 yr old daughter. Great space with plenty of room. It is just as nice as pictured and is only a short walk to beach. This was our first time at Sunny Side Up and our second time at Ocean Reef. You will not be disappointed! The owners were excellent as far as communication and response to questions. No complaints from our group!

We were in need of a much needed girls trip and wanted a cute place we could all have our own space and was super close to the beach. This VRBO was perfect! Steps to the beach, easy to walk everywhere and the condo had enough space for all of us. Organized, clean and even had a balcony for us to enjoy. Overall great experience and amazing host!

Would Stay Again!

This place was clean and comfortable, and the listing was accurate. It is a minute walk to the sand, which was very convenient with our young child. This place would be great for a family trip, a girls' weekend, etc. We could also walk to quite a few restaurants. The parking was convenient, check-in/out was extremely easy, the host was kind and helpful, and I really have no complaints.

Great beach getaway!!

My family and I absolutely loved staying at Christina’s Gulf shores retreat!! The place is beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we could ask for. We spent our nights relaxing on the deck while listening to the waves crashing on the shore. The location is a short walk to the beach and close enough to great eateries. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Christina’s place again!

Great Beach Stay!

Cristina’s place was amazing! It is very well decorated and comfortable. We’ve always fantasized what it’s like to live on the beach and Cristina’s place was right next to the sand. What also helped out a lot was her YouTube videos for some of the questions we had. We’ll definitely be back!
