About this apartment rental

2 Bedroom + 2 Bathroom Beachfront Oceanview Condo! Front-row! High-end remodel! Prime location! Gated! Step free access!

Welcome to SURFIN' SAFARI... This premium beachfront condo welcomes up to 6 guests. Its open floor plan showcases impressive front-row views of the Gulf. Sit on the private patio and enjoy the ocean view and refreshing breeze, or relax inside where you'll find two bedrooms (a King bed with an adjustable base that raises for maximum comfort while watching TV and a second bedroom with a Queen bed + Twin bunk beds). The two bathrooms include an XL custom walk-in shower plus an X-wide tub/shower.

After a fun day at the beach, check out the condo's two pools (one is heated into the low 80s in winter weather permitting), hot tub, outdoor grills, and fitness center… Or hang out in the living room, where you'll find a big comfy power recliner and oversized leather couch to enjoy watching TV (65-inch TV with Sonos soundbar).

New Professional Café Appliances highlight the kitchen with unique features including a double oven with convection baking, a 5-burner cooktop, a microwave that can also Air fry, a "hush" quiet dishwasher, and full size Fisher and Paykel refrigerator/freezer. The professionally remodeled kitchen is perfect for baking cookies, reheating leftovers from the island's many restaurants, or cooking a 5-star meal. RARE FIND: THERE'S ALSO A WASHER & DRYER IN THE CONDO!

Gather with family and friends at the expansive 6-ft long dining table for meals, games, and good conversation... (there are tons of games to choose from). You'll always be super comfortable thanks to the new a/c system (that includes a UV light system for higher quality air) plus high-end silent Haiku ceiling fans throughout. There are so many bonus items in the condo... but we'll let you discover them all once you arrive! We welcome you to come and make memories at the award winning condominiums, The Dawn, home of Surfin' Safari - BEST CONDO RENTAL AWARD 3 YEARS IN A ROW: 2023, 2024 & 2025!

The host went above and beyond to ensure that the cousins reunion for my 87-yr old mother and her 88-yr old cousin went smoothly. They both absolutely loved the condo, and made memories together that will always remain for each of them… thank you, Sam!
