We absolutely loved the view of the Gulf from the Balcony. The unit was wonderful and a much better bargain than a hotel. Being the last Condo Complex on the Blvd provided an unobstructed view of sunsets. Hope to visit again soon!

Overall a great unit. There are a couple small things that I think would go a long way in making this a 5 starGood:Modern and updatedTop floor with good viewResponsive hostEverything looked and smelled cleanNot as goodLighting - all the lights were so cold colored that it sometimes felt like we were in florescent lighting. Just need to change the bulbs to be a little less harsh. Even the light over the bathroom mirror was adjustable but was set to the coldest color Bed frame - it wasn’t a box frame it was like a metal frame with springs and it was fairly loud and creaky.TVs to highThe 2 TV’s are mounted so incredibly high it’s almost comical. The top of the tv basically touches the ceiling. Other than the small things it was a great unit. Would stay again.

Relaxing vacation
The condo was very nice. Looks like it was recently renovated or updated. Small but had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Not right on the beach but only about a 3 minute walk away. But you can still see the ocean from the balcony. We enjoyed our stay very much!
