We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this rental! The ocean view from the balcony patio is breathtaking! The unit is on the corner and has multiple access points to the patio. Full view of the ocean is really only seen from the master and living area side. The patio furniture is very "beachy" and weather durable, however, not as comfortable as cushioned furniture would be. Inside, the décor is very up to date with smart TV's in every bedroom and the living area. The only "lesser updated" finding was the tub/shower combos in the two bathrooms. It would seem with everything else that was updated, these would have been also. In any case, they were clean and totally functional. The master suite is nicely split from the guest rooms. We had everything we needed for cooking and then some! Everything inside was clean and fresh. I love how the bedding, including the comforter, and towels are washed professionally between visitors. Despite construction on the high rise next to this one, we were not bothered by any large amount of noise as we were up by the time they started and gone much of the day while they worked. We would totally stay here again. We had never stayed directly on the beach on any of our trips to the Gulf and this location sold us on that for the future. And also, May is a great time to visit the area if you aren't traveling with school aged children. We found the beach to be populated, but not crowded and we enjoyed being able to rent beach chairs and an umbrella for the length of our stay. Parking was never a problem, either. Thank you so much for a wonderful 35th Anniversary trip that we shared with our best friends!!
