The Palm Beach Club is under maintenance- painting and window replacement! Close the blinds - workers are present by 7:30am. The first night of our stay included a strong storm/tornado. The scaffolding fell down during the storm, leaving debris, glass, sand all over the property and on our cars. Power was out for 18 hours and the fire alarms woke up the entire complex at 5:25am the following morning. No air conditioning for 18 hours. The flooding caused the elevator and pool to be closed our entire duration. Fort Pickens was closed all week. We could not see the Blue Angels practice.
The balconies are small, only two persons comfortable at a time. The master bedroom bath door could not be closed, the door is too big for the frame. The parking is tight, bring a small car, definitely not a truck like we did. Bring EVERYTHING you need - no coffee filters or spices, limited kitchen supplies. We had to buy a sharp knife. The bathrooms are inside bedrooms so no bathroom on the living level. The main table was broken and not replaced. Bring your Netflix logins.
The location allows excellent views of the gulf, easy access to the beach and trolley. The public beach was extremely crowded on the weekends, with loud music. I have always loved the pink condos at the end of the strip, they are now blue.
