Terrible

This rental was a huge disappointment and absolutely not as advertised. From the moment we walked in, it was obvious that cleanliness and maintenance were not a priority. The floors were dirty, and there was sand in the beds, which made it feel like the place hadn't been cleaned after the last guests.Even worse, part of the ceiling nearly collapsed in the washroom during our stay — a serious safety hazard that made us extremely uncomfortable. This kind of issue should never happen in a rental, and it's clear the property is not being properly cared for.We did receive 275.00 credit which was appreciated but for what we paid & went through it should have been a lot more!!

Absolute Waves of Happiness

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Waves of Happiness. The townhouse and furniture are a little dated, but we found everything comfortable. The bed was very comfortable too. We enjoyed the backyard patio and the canal with lots of turtles and birds.The location within the property was ideal. Close to a pool and Pickle Ball Courts and a five minute walk to the beach! We found everyone very friendly at Gulf Highlands including the staff. The amenities were well maintained and the common areas were always clean.We used many of the 11 pools and enjoyed a few games of mini golf and Pickle Ball. The property is ideally located within walking distance to great restaurants, bars and Walmart.The beach is absolutely amazing too!Nikki is an amazing person to deal with and very quick to respond if you need her.We definitely recommend Waves of Happiness and the Gulf Highlands Beach Resort!

Quiet and relaxing

We loved that the property was so close to the beach. The owners we met are friendly and the condo was very clean. The pool was not heated. In order to play mini golf or shuffle board you have to bring your own equipment.
