- Other Amenities
- Our end unit is larger than the interior 2-bedroom units, especially in the Living Room area. It also has a MUCH larger balcony, which can be important if you have more than 2 people in your party. Our balcony is also more private than the balconies of the building next door. Next to the Gulf Front pool there is a large covered shady area for those who want to avoid direct sun. There is also a "kiddie" pool next to it. Our unit is on the 4th floor for the best view of the beach and surf. Much lower and you cannot see where the beach meets the water in the surf zone. Much higher, and all you see from the unit is often water. To see the surf you have to go to the window or the balcony.
