The first visual of the condominium complex wasn’t as pleasing as the condo itself. The complex looks tired as the numerous wood railings and spindles are old and grey. However, while we were there, all the upper balconies on our building were replaced, and looked really nice. Hopefully, the rest of the wood will be replaced in a timely fashion too so the 3 buildings will look fresh again.
BUT! It sure was nice to have 936 sq.ft. of living space with its own laundry room, 2-1/2 baths, 2 balconies with chairs, and even Netflix! The condo is 2 floors, fresh paint on the walls, and has a nice beach feel. Views of the ocean from both floors too, with great breezes off the Gulf.
1. Best kitchen we’ve had in a rental unit. Equipped/stocked well with EVERYTHING we could need. Didn’t have to bring a thing. Terrific new stainless steel appliances; even a dishwasher! It’s airy, bright, open, with great Corian counter space, and clean cupboards. Big kudos from those of us who cook!
2. The master and guest bedrooms are roomy. Loved both rooms! Terrific king mattresses, linens, and towels. Large closets with storage shelves too! We, and our guests, have enjoyed great sleeps here; a huge bonus as a great bed is important, especially when renters stay for extended periods. Loved the wicker furniture, cloth chairs and TVs in bedrooms.
3. The living/dining room are also a nice size, and comfortable. The couch pulls out into a bed. Typically pull-out couches aren’t that comfortable to sit on, but this one is.
4. Both bathrooms are in good shape. The main bathroom has a small table and over-the-toilet cabinet for renter’s toiletries, etc.
5. While small – it’s not a hotel pool after all – the pool was kept clean with comfortable lounging chairs around it.
6. Parking is underneath your unit, and can easily accommodate 2 cars. Fantastic when guests visit.
The location of the condo is fantastic. EVERYTHING is close by: restaurants, shops, family entertainment, many easily accessed by walking. There are biking trails nearby also. And the best thing … the condo is directly across the street from the GLORIOUS beach with miles and miles of fine, white sand.
