This property was located in a quiet area of the beach, but quick access to the square. The park is next door. Although if you plan on enjoying the park apply lots of bug spray!! The beach at the end of the island also has a very foul smell. The beach area by the unit was nice, calm and shallow. It would be great for small children. We were a little disappointed in the color and clarity. Being on the gulf side and seeing some other pictures and reviews we were under the impression the water was clearer and more of the blue colors. It is not..it’s more of what the locals described as a sweet tea color.
The unit it’s self offered your basic supplies, was clean and comfortable. A bonus was having a washer and dryer in the unit! The views from the screened in balcony were perfect for watching the sunset. There were plenty of bath towels, beach towels and 4 nice beach chairs. Unfortunately the beach umbrella was broken. The only downsides I found with the unit were there are no extras. Such as no spices, sprays or oils to cook with. Minimal amount of toilet paper. No trash bags, dish soaps and detergents. We were left with 2 dishwasher tabs, a tiny size container of dish soap, 2 packs of detergent and 2 rolls of tissue in each bathroom. While great full for those items. In the past when we have stayed the renters before would leave those extra supplies as would we as a curtesy for the next renters. Not sure if that’s not allowed or what happens to the items. Also on that note any beach items you want aside from chairs and towels and 1 bucket…you will have to buy. We left several items for the next renters to use. I hope they left for their use. That would be my only negative thoughts. Overall we had a great family trip. I would recommend this area and unit to others. Bonus the shelling was great after an evening storm!!
