About this apartment rental
Unit 501 sits on the corner of Phoenix V, which is why this balcony does something most gulf-front units cannot. The main leg runs off the living and dining rooms and looks straight at the water; round the corner, a second section gives you shade when the sun gets serious. Sun and shade all day without leaving your own balcony — four chairs, a table, and that is where most of your week happens.
Inside, the living room, dining room and kitchen open to each other, so nobody cooks alone. The sliders run nearly the full wall — open them and the balcony becomes another room, with a sectional and a loveseat that seat eight.
The kitchen is set up for a real week, not a weekend of takeout: granite counters wrapping a peninsula with bar seating, a range and oven, microwave, dishwasher, and a refrigerator with an icemaker for the beach cooler. Six at the table plus four at the bar means everyone eats at once.
Sleeping splits three ways so nobody draws straws. The primary has a king, its own bathroom and its own slider onto the balcony. The second holds two queens with room between them — the kids' room, and the door closes. The third has a single queen and stays quiet in the mornings. Both bathrooms have granite vanities and real counter space, and there is laundry in the unit — sandy towels get washed mid-week.
One honest note: 501 is being renovated, finishing in November 2026, and these photos show it as it stands today, before that work.
Two families traveling together. Three separate sleeping groups, two full baths, a kitchen where two can cook at once. Nobody sleeps on an air mattress.
Families with small children. The splash pad, the pools, and a beach you reach by boardwalk, not by crossing a road. Two queens absorb four kids behind a door that closes.
Multi-generational trips. The primary suite has its own bath and balcony access — a quiet corner while everyone else is out front.
Shoulder-season and slower weeks. Laundry in the unit and a real kitchen make a full week workable instead of exhausting, and November through February is when this stretch of beach is at its emptiest.
