“Tennis and Beach at its best”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed at the Tops'l Beach Manor condo. The unit was 6th floor with great views of the beach and ocean. Took wife and 3 high school age daughters because they all play varsity Tennis and fiqured that it would be a good way to warm up for Spring tennis here in Michigan. Wow. I have played on clay courts before but these were in perfect condition and could play day or night. Must have played 3 hours a day. My wife is really a beginner so she didn't play as much . But I hit with daughters both singles and doubles and they beat me up pretty bad. thank goodness for clay. My feet would have been dead after 2 days on asphalt. The rest of time was spent either beaching or swimming in multiple pools. I am a road biker and got up every other morning at crack of dawn and rode out Scenic highway 30a and back (about 50 miles rt. if you park at State park) Well marked and interesting ride with views of coastal lakes and the Gulf. Anyway Tops'l condo was clean and well decorated and we had a great time. Beach was pure white sand that you can walk all the way to Panana City. For fun go to Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin for dinner then watch sunset from Hammerheads. Great vacation ..

“Never disappointed with the Tides at Tops'l”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

We have stayed here many times, condo 601, and we have enjoyed it every time. Perfect for a family trip, couples trip or a girls' trip. Plenty of room for at least 6 with a good kitchen and plenty of living spaces. It is in the perfect location close to shopping and many dining options. Would highly recommend.

Room Tip: Views are best on the south side numbered _01-_06.

“Beautiful location and accommodations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in Beach Manor and the views in room 701 are stunning over a wooded area and total unobstructed view toward the east beach. Very clean but plumbing could use some attention. Pools downstairs are very nice and not crowded. Chairs and umbrellas at the beach are pricey, but Walmart is very close to pick them up cheaply for your stay. Be sure to confirm exactly which building you will be staying in because the ones in the back (Tennis Village) do not really compared to the experience you will have in the beach front buildings. The upgrades are worth it! one last thing, Internet is free, just call the front and ask for your codes.

Room Tip: Try and get a corner unit, many windows and views

The condos are wonderful and the service was great from the check in to to shuttle service around the resort. The room was nice and clean very up to date, did not want to leave .The view on the patio was so beauty and just min from the beach. We will be back.

“"Always a good time at the Tops'l"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011
3
people found this review helpful

My wife's extended family goes to the Summit at the Tops'l every June and we always enjoy it. It's great for larger groups with lots of kids, plenty of things to do, swimming, tennis, etc., on site and there is good shopping and other activities not far away. Of course the beach there is great, not too crowded even during the summer months.

Room Tip: ResortQuest booking is overpriced, use VRBO.
