Great Big Beach

3C is so comfy and homey. View from the balcony is awesome. Can fit a lot of people. Such a large beach area! Never a problem getting a spot close to the water. Walking distance to Hangout and lots of good restaurants close by. Can't hardly wait to come back here.

Great location

We had a great time on the Gulf Shore. We plan on coming back. The Whaler 3C was very clean. The condo was nicely decorated. It provided us with the necessary items needed. A couple of suggestions: updating the living room furniture would be nice, very uncomfortable. The TV's and remotes are outdated, very slow and difficult to use (Rokus are better). The internet worked fine. Glad we had it. Needed for checking on our business. The bathroom fans were extremely loud. The kitchen appliances worked very well, but did not have a broom to sweep with. The two red chairs on the balcony were too light. The wind blew them across the balcony and hit my husband. I think heavier chairs would be better. The property did need some repairs. The above suggestions did not prevent us from have a comfortable stay and great time. As a business owner, we would want our customers to inform us on how to improve their experience with us. We would recommend this property to others but would also let them know what we saw in this condo. Other condos at the same property may be different. Thank you for the privilege of using your property.

Great view. Beach is so close. Definitely am coming back to the Whaler unit 3C.

Had a wonderful time. Whaler is so peaceful. Not congested like the big condos. This is a really good time of year to stay at the beach. Not a lot of crowds on the beach. Water is still warm enough to enjoy.

We only had two issues: elevator stopped working our first night and master bath hot water didn't get very warm. Other than that the condo was perfect. We really enjoyed the balcony view, the beach access and the pool.

Perfect location. Very few other occupants. A dated building and unit but it was a good value. Beds were SUPER comfortable. Might be time for a new sofa and loveseat. We would stay there again!

Amazing view

Condo was clean and exactly as listed. Our only issues we had: the elevator broke out first night, so we had to use the stairs the remainder of our stay the hot water in the master bathroom did not heat up very well - one night water was cool at best, one morning it was warm but not hot Other than that the listing was perfect. The view from the balcony was amazing. The direct beach access was awesome.

Awful

This is an every year thing that I do with my grandbabies and I contacted management every day about the light in the bathroom, not working they fixed it one time, and it only worked About an hour and a half. I contacted them again and when I left four days later, it still wasn’t working my 11 year-old granddaughter had to take a shower with her phone light.i had 3 grand baby’s and 2 adults. The pool was shut down a day after we got there. Which would’ve been fine if the waves wasn’t so bad I depending on that pool for my grandkids when they couldn’t play in the ocean. when I contacted them, they acted like they could care less. If I wanna spend a good bit of money, I want my moneys Worth. I’m very disappointed in this place and will not stay at another beach ball condo site again. They have not contacted me with my complaints and they’re not very unprofessional.

October vacation

The eat in area of this unit has way too much furniture, get rid of the hutch as we couldn't even use bar stools. Pots and pans were in poor condition to cook with. The hotel next door was extremely loud pressure washing carpets early in the mornings. Great view but that was about all.

Great view and location!

We feel that the condo needs quite a bit of updating and TLC. It is also very poorly stocked - not even a salt shaker or coffee filters! When you’re only staying a few days, those little touches are appreciated. The light in the second bathroom didn’t always work, fans were loud, pillows were hard, other things were broken, sink in ensuite didn’t drain. We couldn’t use one of the closets since a huge foam “thing” was stuffed into it ! The unit was however clean and the location and beach are great.

Great place to stay right on beach

Was a good place to stay. The building itself did not look that great but the room was really nice with a great view. I would stay here again. Only thing I did not like was being called to see if a realtor coupd show the place on 2 seperate occasion s but we was not obligated to allow them to.

The Whaler vacation stay

The hot water didn't work in the master bathroom tub/shower, I called in complaint and a repair man was sent to us next day The repair man said couldn't fix it right now because had no parts available. Said Maybe if he found parts today could fix the next day. But he didn't think it was going to happen. We were leaving to go home the next morning, so wouldn't help us anyway 😤 we spent 4 days there with little to no hot water for bathing.

Only one complaint

Beautiful property and location. My only complaint is about beachball properties. They called me and wanted to show the condo to someone while we were staying there. Then they acted like I should know it was for sale when nothing online or in my contract indicated that. I told them I didn’t want to pack up everything and stage our condo in the middle of our trip for an hour showing during my family’s vacation. I thought that was very inconsiderate since they had half a day to show it the next day between us and another renter. The last thing someone on vacation with two small kids wants to do is clean a condo last minute and have it show ready for a Realtor. The photos and everything looks as it is listed online, but it being for sale should’ve been noted. Had I known it would be a Realtor calling I wouldn’t have answered my phone. Had I know I might be asked this, I would’ve booked a different property.

Everything was just as advertised: kitchen was well-equipped, bedrooms were comfortable, location was great. The only thing that needs attention is the slow drain in the hallway bathroom. But we would stay here again. .
