The condo is 3 bedroom/2 bath. Masterbedroom on front side of condo facing Gulf with two large windows that open. The master bedroom shares a wall with dining area/den which is large and spacious. Lots of windows and patio doors. There is a balcony that runs from den pass master bedroom that is easily accessible. We worried from the online photos that the balcolny was a Juliette balcolny that is so skinny you can hardly stand on it - but there was no reason to worry! Balcony is curved so adults can stand//sit in narrow section and there is plenty of room with bar table and chairs on the wider side. Balcolny and condo face Gulf and you can watch sunset/rise, hear waves, walk across highway to sandy beach. Really an excellent location. Close to everhthing (including a wonderful Warmart down the street) but far eno away that you don't hear wild noise at night. There is a pond directly behind the condo that was teeming with ducks and geese. This location has condos only that face the beach - no one blocks view of pond but you have to outside (nicely covered) walkway to see the wildlife. Great arrangement.
Two elevators and one covered parking place and one uncovered. Very close to elevator.
Well appointed - everything you need and the world's best VRBO washer and dryer. (We are "retired nomads" who only travel and have done this for 4 years and we stay in Hotels, VRBOs, B&B, etc. for a month or 2 or 3 as the mood strikes. And this was the BEST washer and dryer ever. No, I don't know why...
Owner lives offsite and was readily accessible when we had a question and responded immediately. Excellent security, beatufiul pool (not heated) with shallow pool for children. Nice gym.
Good tips:
1. Once inside the security gate, go pass the first entrance to garage. Continue down theramp and turn right which is where you will park. (save seconds and frustration.)
2. TV remote. If you want to go to Netflix, etc. You hold the button down and it will move up down left right Took me 2 days to figure this out but I'm 74.
Netflix, Peacock, Prime all available. TV )big_ in every room.
3. Great water pressure/ and HOT water. (key criteria for happiness)
4. We did Happy Hour all week and tried different places. EASY to get to. All on Strand /,a street away from gulf and near ship channel. Liked: Willie G's, Katie's, Yaga's, Tremont Hotel downstairs (jazz band). Great hamburgers at Mels (inside Valero's Gas Station
