The condo was perfect. Very clean and super spacious. We had 4 adults and stayed 7 nights. The views of the Gulf were amazing. The pool was wonderful. I was a bit concerned when I saw it was across from the elevator but never heard a sound. Construction on the condo did start while we were there but they never started earlier than 9am.

The place was fine overall, but I wouldn’t choose this particular unit again. The balcony is tucked away, so the views aren’t as good as other spots on the property. When I asked about checking in early, they wanted to charge 50—seriously? That left a bad taste. Also, they don’t mention it on the listing, but there’s a required parking fee. Definitely better locations on this property if you’re looking for a good view and straightforward experience.

Loved the condo with a nice balcony and beautiful view. It was comfortable for our group. Unit is a few steps away from the elevator. Check in is between 4-6pm. Just a short drive to restaurants and grocery stores. We had a small unexpected issue: Condo had to be sprayed for crawling roaches and we had to pay 57 for the parking permit which is done online. Sue from the management was helpful and our parking fee was reimbursed. Overall, I would stay here again.
