Exciting PIER PARK is less than a mile away and has something for everyone with excellent dining, night life & shopping. Occasionally see fireworks displays from deck & balconies...and sea gulls/pelicans and Dolphins playing in our "backyard". Winn Dixie, CVS, popular neighborhood pubs & great eateries are a short walking distance away...so you won't have to spend valuable vacation time tied up in Stop & Go traffic or waiting on elevators!
Enjoy a very spacious vacation unit with open living/dining area; so room for everyone to relax and unwind...Not a cramped up Condo.
The well-stocked kitchen has beautiful granite counters, custom cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. A gas grill is also provided.
A half bath and laundry room with washer/dryer is on the main floor. Upstairs has two bedrooms, each with a connecting private bath. Listen to "beach music" in the spacious gulf front master that has a super-comfortable King bed, with Premium Luxe mattress/soft sheets & HD TV.

My 6 night stay was a dream! I loved everything about this condo - cleanliness, beachy decor, decks, amenities, access to the beach just a few steps down the back stairs, comfortable furniture and beds, beautiful sunsets, waxing moon and a lunar eclipse on my last night topped off a perfect stay! Walter, the host, is top notch and very responsive to any needs. The area restaurants were wonderful. I can vouch for Schooners on the beach - wonderful fried crab claws and shrimp. I hope to return next year!

We had a fantastic stay here! The location really couldn’t have been better for our family. Everything we needed was just a short drive away, but far enough from the main pier that we didn’t have to deal with the crowds unless we actually wanted to head that direction.The view is amazing, and we loved having the beach right down the stairs. The stretch of beach in front of the property was noticeably less crowded. We used the beach every single day, collected what feels like an unreasonable number of unique shells, and got to take the kids out crab hunting a couple nights. Our last evening was spent walking the beach together as a family looking for shells, which ended up being one of my favorite parts of the whole trip.The house was great. They had a grill and beach chairs that we used regularly, and a big bin of beach toys. Most importantly, we never had a single issue with the place during our stay.Walter (Owner) was also fantastic. He was accessible, responsive, and accommodating whenever we needed anything. We were very happy with our stay and would absolutely stay here again. Great location, incredible view, easy beach access, plenty to do nearby, and a host who made the experience easy. 5 stars from our family!

About the host

Hosted by Walter HInman

Host profile image
We are the original owners who have travelled the world thru the military and private ventures...thus we understand and appreciate what travelers are looking for in a vacation stay. We take pride in the appearance and upkeep of our private beach home. Kathy and I make a couple trips a year to update/refresh and maintain ourspacious unit, so our guests can feel at home and enjoy their vacation to the fullest.

Why they chose this property

Excellent relative quiet West End Location Directly on the Beach... Convenient to shopping, recreation and dining; in which many are within walking distance, so you don't have to waste your precious vacation time tied up in beach-traffic; e.g., World famous McQuires Pub only 2 walking blocks away---great food and ambiance.
Additionally, you park directly in front of our unit so don't have to deal with the hassle of the high-rise buildings, limited distant parking, waiting on elevators, high in the sky views, etc. Roomy square feet so not cramped during your stay.

What makes this property unique

Excellent relative quiet West End Location with large-gated deck Directly on the Beach... Convenient to shopping, recreation and dining--- many within walking distance so you don't have to waste your precious vacation time tied up in beach traffic.
The beautiful Gulf views of Emerald Blue waters, the hum of relaxing ocean waves washing against sugar white sandy beaches coupled with refreshing sea breezes are priceless. Sea-sational & Sun-sational!
This has been a wonderful home away from home, and our family has created some of our best memories here.
