Great condo for a family vacation! If you have a family member that requires wheelchair access to the beach, you’ll have to go down a block to enter in at the public beach. The space was amazing and SUPER CLEAN! They have everything you need to cook any and every meal you desire, on site, so don’t bring pans etc. everything is brand new! I would bring laundry detergent if you are staying more than 6 days and bring some change for the washer and dryer. We will be back!

The place was clean and had ample storage. Cool beach vibe decorations. You can tell older property, but the bathroom has been updated nicely. Water temp was always good. Nice TV in living room and even came with books and some games. Having 2 teens, it was nice having a second bedroom with full beds and a second bathroom! Many places I looked at did not. King bed was comfy, but wish came with comforter. Kitchen apliances were pretty nice and came with plenty of pans, plates, etc.. You do need more paper towels and trash bags and wish I had a scrubber for pans. The view was great. it is on the lower floor, and you do have to overlook a parking lot, but you can see the gulf from the balcony and living room and just steps from the white sands. The pool was nice and awesome to get into after baking a while on the beach. Did have trouble contacting beach services to reserve beach chairs, but always found some. Beach was very nice and not overly crowded.
