The condo is perfect for 2 adults or small family (1 bathroom). Very clean, nicely decorated, and short walk to both the gulf and bay. It’s also in a neighborhood that feels very safe. I would highly recommend. Also, the kitchen has everything I can think of if you want to cook.

Great spot! Perfect for 3-4 ppl. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Well stocked with everything you may need. They even had a cart to use to carry everything to the beach. It is a duplex but we never heard the neighbors. Plenty of parking. Overall excellent choice. Screened in porch under the house was perfect for enjoying the rain storm.
