The view was nice for the ocean. Had everything we needed to cook many meals and lots of fun beach toys for the kids. Grocery stores not far away and a Walgreens just a block away. The pool is heated and really nice. The hot tub was super hot. The unit is old, but still nice. Maybe a good deep clean needed. We saw dolphins while in the water and also from the balcony.

Nice location with easy check in!

Great location and view. You can see the Gulf from the kitchen, patio and bedroom windows. Although the condo is a little dated, it is stocked with everything you need. Very accommodating. King mattress needs to be replaced, but everything else was very nice. Very clean and tidy. Also furnished well. The pool and hot tub were great and all codes and instructions were perfect and easily accessible. The location offers tons of places to go and things to do. Great restaurant recommendations too.....absolutely loved Salt Rock Grille. Thank you for the great getaway.
