Great Penthouse Unit
We booked this Ariel Dunes ocean view penthouse for a three day music fest and had a fantastic time. The unit is exactly as described in the listing and the photos are completely up to date. The master bedroom + bath and all the common areas have spectacular panoramic gulf views.

Beautiful condo!
Great layout and beautifully decorated. Had everything we needed for a beach week with family including a nice laundry room and beach chairs/toys. Great location with easy beach access and walking distance to several restaurants. Host was very responsive in all our communications.
