No service, HUGE extra fees!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/14/11
Liked: Good location,- on the beach. Disliked: Lack of service(no cleaning, no towels exchange, no trash pick up, no shampoo, etc) Extra fees were 128 dollars!!! Beach view is a view of a pool and then the beach behind the pool.

worse place ever
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/23/09
don't be fooled into think you are staying at a condo because these are not condos. with 1970 lime green doors and rooms that haven't been touched since the 70's, the room looks like a 1970's porn set. both children, ages 5 and 7, immediately started crying when we opened the door to the room. thankfully we were given a refund on our room.

Staying for 6 months
By bunii t, 5/22/08
This is a terrific location. The year round residents are friendly, happy and relaxed. The HOA and the maintenance staff is very professional and friendly. We are staying here for 6 months and enjoying every minute. This units are individually owned and rented by rental companies of their (owners choice). Thus, not each unit is on par with another unit. Overall it is a comfortable place and I would recommend it. Yes, there is a parking fee (this is not a hotel). The only drawback that we have experienced is some of the disrespectful tourists who leave trash, are loud etc....but other than that...loving it!

never ever again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/24/07
I warn you traveler, you will be crying if you decided to stay there. I read the other travelers warnings, but book this place anyway. It was a nightmare, the room has no view( we paid for gulf view), there is an additional charge for parking, the appliances are rusty, and very old.The room was awful.The plants was dead in the pots. You will not be able to sleep in this room because of the noise from the refrigerator and the airconditioner, both antique. We did not have enough bedding ( was paid for but not provided) and have to use our own towels as blankets. Take my words stay away from this awful place.

This was the nastiest place I have ever seen!!! I have never stayed in a roach motel but that is what i felt like this was, with the exception of this being on the beach. I felt dirty from the time I walked in till the time I checked out....NASTY

Horrible Condos
By CeeBee, 7/14/07
Originally booked 2 queen beds for Boardwalk Beach Resort Hotel...was informed we were "bumped" to Top of The Gulf because a "large" party came into the hotel. We ended up w/ a substandard room with 1 double bed and a lumpy pull out sofa. The room had peeling wallpaper, in op a/c, a small kitchen. DO NOT STAY HERE! Not worth the money.
