This 2 bedroom 2 bath condo is light and airy and has been updated! New stainless appliances. Beautiful Coastal Décor. An electric FIREPLACE that sets the mood in the living room. Constructed with STACKED STONE and an antique CYPRESS mantle. It can be utilized throughout the year, with or without heat.
    There's a COFFEE and TEA station and a wine chiller, which provides the perfect place to store your favorite selections.

    The condo offers 2 MASTER SUITES, with both bedrooms having direct access to en-suite bathrooms. The condo can sleep 6 comfortably with the queen sleeper sofa. There's also a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. The large private balcony is curved and offers panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico.
