Perfect stay for a family of 8 the condo had plenty of space everyone had there on space and everything the family loved to do was right there on location no driving needed.

Our room faced a hotel and parking lot with very limited Gulf view from the balcony. The room was quiet, but on the balcony we heard a lot of road and construction noise. Kitchen was modestly stocked - could use a non-stick frying pan. Great beach with beautiful water. Pools were fine, but one of the hot tubs wasn't working. Lots of grills. Unit size was fine.

This condo was great and spacious enough for the 5 of us (4 adults, one toddler). I was pleasantly surprised to see there was a high chair available for use. There’s some regular upkeep that needs to be done (the dryer pops open on it’s own and the bifold door tracks are worn- it fell off while we tried to do laundry). Overall the condo was clean and ready for us our master shower needed to be cleaned again it looked like it got forgotten there were boot marks inside it on arrival. Over all we’d still stay there again.
