My son and I really enjoyed our last-minute trip here. The view was nice, but I will add that it is a partial view of the gulf, not full. So, you can technically see the water, but you need to sit at the far end of the balcony to see it, and even then, you have view of all the other balconies and guests sitting on theirs. It wasn't a big deal but good info to know. The water was gorgeous, the most clear and pristine I have ever seen, on par with Hawaii and Cayman Island! We had yellow flag most days and spent hours riding the gentle waves. The condo was clean and had plenty of room for us 2 and room to spare with the 2 twins in the 2nd bedroom. All linens were clean. The kitchen was well stocked with essential dishes and silverware. I will mention that this condo is on the 20th (top) floor so if heights are an issue that should be noted. We had a bit of a hiccup upon arrival with the door code not working properly which was annoying after a 5-hour drive, but the front desk got it changed for us. We only stayed 2 days, but I appreciated the option to use the in-unit washer/dryer. The security is strict which is good and bad. We had guests come to pick us up and they were given a hard tie about not having a parking pass. They are strict about the wrist bands and charge you 25 for lost ones. The beach set up is not ideal as most condos along 98 aren't. You have to pay for their set up. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we would recommend this unit to others.
