Overpriced and NOT worth it!
I would not stay here again unless they gave me a refund for some of my troubles! The best thing about this was the view! It was 30 degree temperatures and there wasn't a single comforter on the beds. The tvs were difficult to operate. The beds were like sleeping on plywood. There was plates, cups, and cooking utensils. That is IT. I've never stayed at a more empty condo. There was NO communication from a property manager...unless you called the Vacasa number where they may or may not help you. The best part about this unit was the view, and the sweet lady next door with her chihuahua, Rico Suave.

Great Location-Faces Gulf!
Very nice place overall. Could use a few updates. Clean with plenty of cooking utensils. We had no problems with the unit. Elevator was not working while we were there, but we had been notified of the repairs. Unit only has 6 floors but the stairs got tiresome! There is a nice limited grocery store right across the street or a Walmart within 1.5 miles to do an online pickup. Grab some fresh fish from a local shop and you are good to go! Sea and Suds restaurant is right by the property but we did not eat there. Beach service is available for a reasonable fee. We were very pleased with our stay.
