Perfect location
We had a great stay. It was a great location and the pool area great. It had games for the teenagers a snack bar that had food and drinks. The only thing we wish the room had was a keypad so we didn’t have the keys or the key lock thing to use. We’ll definitely stay again!
It was pleasant. Didn't know we couldn't have guest visit with us.

Beautiful view !! Stay and room was ok. Definitely needs some updating and elbow grease. Very disappointed that there wasn’t a balcony and if you have trouble walking long distances, this is not the room for you. Almost needed an Uber to get there from the elevator !!
This was our first time at Top of the Gulf and we LOVED it! Very family friendly, great pool and kiddie pool with a snack shack, great outdoor seating areas and easy beach access. As for the room, it had an amazing beach view to wake up to every morning and had all of the necessities our family of 4 needed. We would definitely stay here again.
This property is just amazing we have stayed here twice now and it has been GREAT both times!!!!! If we come back next year I really hope we can stay here!!! A+++++++
Overall everything was great. Perfect little getaway spot with the family. Price was on point, king bed was comfortable and the view was gorgeous.
Only reason i gave it a 4 on cleaning was it could use a little tlc but nothing i couldn't live with.
Little confusing when we arrived on where to find the key, since office was closed. Room was nice for what we was there for. Kitchen light was out, I would stay there again
I was skeptical of this room because there was not a balcony but i was able to open the window and listen to the waves while eating. It had a perfect view of the beach!!! We loved that there was not a parking garage as well. The lady in the shop on the first floor was absolutely the sweetest and helped us out when we needed it. I only gave 4 stars on the cleanliness becuase it does need a baseboard deep clean. Its not something that would keep me from coming back to the same condo though! I was able to cook supper and we had all the dishes that we needed. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this condo and the ease of access to the beach. The hosts' were easy to get in touch with and made the process smooth!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for my birthday and it was just perfect. The room had what we needed and had a great view. It’s right on the beach, has a pool, and a bar with food and drink. Terry the front desk lady was kind and so is the owner of the rooms. He communicated well and made sure I had a good room. Thanks again! I’ll be back!
Only one elevator working on Sunday and Monday(holiday)
Long wait times for elevator
Only issue we had.
Note…elevator was working on Thursday,Fridayand Saturday
Thanks Robert
Love everything about this place except. The owner needs a new cleaning service. Floors half sweep and countertops not whipped down. Not clean behind things.
Me and my husband Searched through so many sites. Something kept pulling me back to this one. After booking i went back and started to read reviews and honestly didnt know what i was stepping into. We got there our room was everything we wanted plus so much more. The room sleeps 6 easily but it was only me and him and so we had plaenty of room. Had plenty of rokm to put up our belongings. The room was nice and cleacleancleanneettbYoeverythintce.

Very dated
The kitchen was very dated. Good thing we didn’t need an oven as it was minuscule and disgusting. Bathroom was tiny and dated and tub did not drain well. I don’t think anyone will use the VCR/DVD combo either. View was nice.
