This unit has a patio that is right on the gulf and we enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets each night. The decor was a bit dated, but the unit was well stocked with everything we needed. Pool on bay side was nice. Beach on gulf side was small and we were unable to sit on the beach some days due to the tide coming all the way up to the rock wall. Overall we had a wonderful stay!
