Short walk to the beach.
Susan S. | Mar 2026
The condo was perfect for us. It was relaxing and quiet yet close enough to anything we wanted to do. Beautiful view of the gulf. Was stocked well with all the necessities we needed for our stay. It was very clean. WiFi was not good but we expected this from prior comments and it was manageable for our needs. Would definitely come back again!
KENTON, B. | Mar 2026
I absolutely loved the location — the beach is right outside the window, and because the apartment is positioned at an angle to the road, you can’t hear any traffic at all! The apartment has both a balcony with an ocean view and a bedroom window that can be opened for ventilation, creating a nice flow of fresh air throughout the entire space. I was also really impressed with how thoughtfully the space is designed: every inch of the apartment is carefully planned, offering both privacy and the option to gather together, all within a relatively small area — without sacrificing coziness. There’s a beautiful rug in the living room, a table and chairs (very comfortable despite being tall!), warm lighting above the table, lovely fish-themed decor in the hallway and bathroom, a cozy bedroom, and a perfectly designed children’s bed — the kids are close by but still have their own enclosed space where they can have some privacy. The property also has a heated pool, a tennis court, and a jacuzzi, as well as a cozy gazebo covered in plants — I would go there to spend some quiet time away from the kids and get some work done. It really feels like a green oasis, with well-maintained plants and comfortable furniture. A Walmart store is right nearby — within walking distance — as well as McDonald’s and other places where you can grab dinner. It was a truly relaxing stay!
