If you are looking for a peaceful vacation at the beach-- you've found the right spot. We've designed our apartments to be comfortable, cozy, and super clean-- perfect for a few nights, or a longer stay.
Our small, five unit complex is right on the Gulf, with spacious, tropical gardens, beach front patios and grills, and an individual sun patio to call your own, complete with table, chairs, and umbrella. Relax and read the paper in the mornings, or enjoy supper and watch the sunset.
The interior is newly redecorated with a tropical flair, including paint, carpet, and new rattan furniture in the bedroom, dining room, and living area- but we've kept and reupholstered everyone's favorite vintage easy chairs. Be sure to look at our framed collection of black and white beach photos taken on the property in the 1930's and 1940's.
The bedroom has a king-sized bed and walk-in closet, but we can provide twin beds if you would prefer (no charge). The queen size sleeper sofa in the living room accommodates two more people comfortably.
The fishing pier is a short walk away, as is the Cafe on the Beach for all-you-can-eat pancake breakfasts, casual lunches, and relaxing dinners. Grocery stores and restaurants are 3 blocks away, and the free trolley will take you up and down the Island.
Ask about our four other rental units on the same property-- two of the units are identical to this one, with slightly different views-- we are the perfect spot for families traveling together! Family owned since 1971.
