Fun and relaxing!
This condo was clean and located in an area that is walkable to some shops. Plenty of space on the beach despite so many people. Entertainment in the area was great! We would stay here again.

Beautiful view of the Gulf from the balcony.
Very nice unit. It was clean and comfortable. Location is right on the beach. You can dolphin watch & people watch all from the comfort of your balcony.
The location is close to many things to do, eat and shop.
We had a great 7 day stay.

Property is well maintained. Clean and secure. Unit 657 coffee makers (x2) missing parts to properly make coffee. Unfortunately elevator broke down prior to checking out and had to use stairs from 6th floor. View and location was great and I would consider booking this property again in the future.

6th Floor View and steps from the beach
We loved our stay and appreciated the prompt communication with the host. For those bringing children, they do empty the dumpster at 4am every morning and it is loud! The space was nice and we had a lovely week.

The condo is on the top floor (6th) which was perfect for viewing dolphins swimming up & down the coast several times a day. The balcony furniture was nice—two tall chairs to see out over the railing. The unit was clean and comfortable. It is close to the one elevator, and we did not have to wait long for it, since this must have been a bit of an off week. It is not a long walk to the beach, either. Our only request would be for a grab bar to be added at the tub area for us seniors! Getting in & out of the tub was a little precarious. We loved staying here and will consider staying here again if we come back in the future.
