Fantastic Location
Access to the quiet, private beach was fantastic. There are plenty of lounge chairs on the beach for use by residents and umbrellas in each unit. I could overlook the outdated condo for the sake of having a great location and access to the gorgeous, quiet beach. There was not elevator access to my room on the second floor so I suggest requesting a lower level room if you are unable to carry luggage up and down a flight of stairs.

Beach tranquility
The property was "Old Florida" but clean and pleasant. The pool was a lovely alternative to the beach and not over run by children. The beach was fantastic- it was natural and not crowded. Walking on the beach everyday was restorative and tranquil.
