Our stay was enjoyable. This was a girls' week trip. The condo was the perfect size and layout. The bedrooms upstairs allowed us to live "dorm style" and have chats each morning while getting ready for our adventures. the kitchen had everything we needed. The back patio was beautiful. Patrick did not exaggerate when he wrote that the pool is one minute away and the ocean is 3 minutes. The condo is central to every thing you could want to do. Weather was extremely hot so we spent more time in the condo than usual. The TV roku in each room was a wonderful addition!

This is yhe third year we have stayed at this condo and it never disappoints. The location is great and is a short 2-3 minute walk till you are on white beaches looking at the gulf and relaxing and the owner is great to reserve from and work with. We have never left without already talking about next year. Will continue to reserve this condo!!!
