The condo is on Gulf Blvd, sandwiched between the Ocean; across the street and behind properties on that side, and a canal. I'm not from Florida so I can't confirm that the body of water is part of the Inland waterway. It's beautiful. The location of the property is excellent if you want to access the Ocean. You simply walk, maybe a couple of hundred feet to the right and there is a crosswalk that takes you across the street (and the crosswalk is aided by flashing lights warning oncoming traffic to stop for you). The beach itself is amazing, wide even at high tide, beautiful white sand. The complex has a heated pool. We were there in early March, still a bit chilly for pool time, but the pool water was warm and inviting. There are also 3 small piers on the canal side that we used a couple of time to just sit out there and enjoy the sun. All good. The Condo itself was updated and clean, all the pans and utensils that we could have needed. Helena the owner was terrific and on the ball. We would gladly return. Just a couple of minor call outs. The unit has pretty much everything you need for a beach vacation. I would have appreciated luggage valets to open suitcases on. While the provided pictures of the complex are accurate; the street facing part of the building are dated and don't match the lovely condo we stayed in. The unit is a 3rd floor walk up, the elevators don't work. Bring a sherpa, I'm getting too old for that nonsense.
