This unit is for sale and requires showings from time to time so we would appreciate you working with us on this matter... realtors are required to give us 24 hours' notice prior to showing, and they need your approval to enter. The Showings should be around 15 minutes long and there is no need for you to clean. You may choose to be there or leave the home... your preference. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Exactly as listed. Great location!
The house is roomy, comfortable, clean, with lots of natural light. The location is close to Gulf State Park (a gem in itself) and has easy access to the beach. We would absolutely stay here again!
