Cottage was perfect for our age group and short stay. Cottage was exceptionally clean and the best stocked kitchen of any property that we’ve stayed in. Cooking spices, olive oil, cooking spray, foil, plastic wrap and a variety of pots and pans were readily available. An abundance of towels, extra pillows and blankets were also available for our use. The B Hive was one of the best properties we have ever stayed in!!! Thank you!!!

Excellent, peaceful stay!! Beautiful condo with cute decor. Location was great and April was a wonderful time to visit; not too crowded and could get into stores, dinner, etc. easily. Condo was clean and perfect for the two of us. It does have a small bunk area which would be great for 2 smaller children. Only thing we wished for was maybe a more comfortable couch and bed. Thank you for a great stay!

Nice clean place in a good location! Super easy to check in/out. Beautiful beach views from the balcony. Really close to the hangout. The bed was more plushy than firm. Only one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom and one roll of paper towels were provided.

I truly enjoyed the condo it was beautiful and the host is very easy to communicate with. It was some trouble with the elevator ( not just the expected repairs), it slowed my trip down some but we still enjoyed. It was nothing that the host could have done to change that situation. Will definitely like to stay again.

Our friends family have been coming here for 20 years, so glad we took their advice. We had a great week with friends - a “last hurrah” as a family before last kid heads to college. Great service too.

We have been in this condo building for eight years and love the location, close access to the beach and the view. Bender really does a great job with its customer service. The reps answer all my questions and they always have the condo ready for us when we roll into town.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The vacation of a lifetime again. The condo was absolutely gorgeous and the view of the Gulf of Mexico was spectacular. The condo was spacious and the appliances were newer ones. The only downfall was the elevator was down for more than a day and being on the 8th floor it was a major inconvenience. Overall would definitely come back and stay in the same condo!!

Großartige Umgebung, sehr ruhige Lage, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten dennoch auch zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Sehr nette Gastgeber. Ausstattung einfach aber funktional, es fehlte an nichts! Sogar Handtuchwechsel wurde uns angeboten, obwohl wir nur eine Wocheda waren. Wir werden wieder kommen, vielen Dank!

We had a wonderful stay. Short walk to the beach and wonderful view. The property is at a great location. Close to the state park and 59. Only issue would be the sofa bed in the living room. The mattress is old and you can feel the springs. Bunk beds need to be for little kids.

Impressive view from the balcony made this very special. Clean and comfortable. Easy parking & door code check-in. Liked the Romar Tower because it was only 9 floors- made for very quick elevators & easy parking!

Our only issues and concerns were no secured WIFI, parking is limited & tight in front of the building, street sign lighing is lacking and the mattresses could be replaced

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful place on the water, lots of space, and great location! The 3BR, 3 Bath was perfect for our family. The balcony is extra large which was wonderful.Suggestions- one bedroom ceiling fan needs attention, kitchen needs large frying pan. It would be nice to have extra toilet paper, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent and some Lysol wipes.
