Ernest & Ella

The condo and the location were perfect for our stay in PCB! The hosts were absolutely amazing; the communication was second to none; they were available anytime we had a question and gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities around the area. The condo was on the beach, it was nice and clean, very welcoming and loved the security of the area. I felt very safe. Honestly I have nothing bad to say about this condo or the hosts; it was an absolute blast for myself, husband and 3 teenagers who fit in this condo comfortably and had the best vacation over Christmas break! Walking distance to Pier Park, great restaurants and a short drive to the baseball complex. 10/10 would recommend this place!

Great Condo!

Condo was great! Had everything you would need for a day at the beach! Kitchen was fully stocked. Not having to use the elevators was the best part!! Beds wasn’t to our liking but everyone has there own difference in how soft or hard they like them. Wasn’t a big deal. Plenty of pillows and covers.Bathrooms had plenty of towels and rags. A lot more than any condo we have ever stayed in. Host was great!! Definitely recommend!

Fabulous Condo

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. We loved being on the 1st floor and not having to use the elevators daily. The views from the living room windows and the upstairs balcony are wonderful. Everything was perfect. We will definitely try to rent this again next year for our family vacation.

Spring Break

We visited during Spring Break. It was very busy and construction was going on but we had the easy access to the skywalk and walking distance to and from Pier Park so it was excellent. Earnest called prior to our booking and gave lots of wonderful suggestions. He also checked in a few times during our stay to make sure we were comfortable and asked if we needed anything. We loved being in the first floor and not having to wait for elevators! We would definitely book this room again!

Always a wonderful stay

This is our 3rd or 4th time staying at this property. Everything is always perfect. Always clean and has most everything you need for your stay supplied by the owners, which are the best. They make booking and check-in easy, and stay in contact with you in case you have any additional needs during your stay.

Location of the unit was great!! No need for elevators!!! The wait can be long at times if needed. The unit had everything you need especially if you want to cook. Great communication with Ernest and Ella. We were late checking in and Ernest checked on us to make sure we were ok. Access to the beach was very easy. The front door is positioned away from foot traffic. Over all everything was perfect we even added a extra day!!!

Great place, great location, great owner

We just left this morning and I must say it was a great relaxing vacation. The place is just as described. It’s very nice and the owner is fantastic! Being on the 1st floor is very convenient (no waiting for the elevator). When we arrived there was a line of 50-60 people waiting for the elevator’s and we were able to walk down a flight of stairs and we were in our room. We will definitely stay again. Great condo even better owner!

WE WILL BE BOOKING EVERY YEAR

My Family just got back from staying in this condo and let me just tell you… we have stayed in a lot of places and never had communication that was anywhere near as good as Mr Ernest was! The condo is fantastic… extremely clean and the most accessible! We never waited for the elevator one time because it was only a few steps down or up. The view was perfect from the Master suite The bunks were awesome for our daughter. Could easily fit 2 family’s with kids!

Beautiful Beach Spot!

Everything about the place was nice, clean, and comfortable - There were even games and cards for us! - The beach and view from the balcony were awesome, and even on the busiest days (Memorial Day weekend!), it wasn't as crowded as we'd expected. Restaurants, ice cream, and shopping were nearby too - and Ernest was very friendly!

Comfortable condo with an amazing view!

This condo was a nice size for two or four people. The kitchen/living room were very comfortable. The bedrooms and balcony were great - comfy beds and a beautiful view. Our hosts Ernest and Ella were super helpful with recommendations and making sure we were enjoying our stay. They always responded quickly to any questions and all communications. The property management is also good. We used the fitness room a lot, we used the pool and the Starbucks at the market. The Tidewater staff was very friendly and maintained the property and beach very well.

The whole experience went great. The owners Ernest & Ella Kramer did an excellent job with communication, and answering any questions. Friendliness I’ve felt with yet.
