This unit has a patio that is right on the gulf and we enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets each night. The decor was a bit dated, but the unit was well stocked with everything we needed. Pool on bay side was nice. Beach on gulf side was small and we were unable to sit on the beach some days due to the tide coming all the way up to the rock wall. Overall we had a wonderful stay!

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the patio right on the gulf and were able to take in those beautiful sunsets each evening—it's truly a special experience.
We’re also happy to hear you found the unit well stocked and enjoyed the bay-side pool during your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the décor and will be sure to share it with the owner for consideration.
Tides can certainly vary and impact the beach area at times, but we’re glad to hear you still had a wonderful overall stay. We would love to welcome you back again in the future!
