We arrived for our stay on a Wednesday afternoon in April of 2018 well before check in time to learn that our room was ready and waiting on us. The building has obviously been there a while and the main office is very dated and cluttery, but the lady in charge was super nice and got us set up with our parking pass and keys, (yes real keys, no key cards here!) in about 5 minutes. We found Unit 403 to look exactly as it is presented in the pictures. The balcony view is beautiful and you simply can’t beat the short walk to the private beach with plenty of beach chairs to choose from. The elevator in the complex was not overly slow which was very nice.

Now, for the down sides of the unit. Right now, there aren’t too many because it is my understanding that the remodel for this unit is about 6 months old. Our chief complaint would be the water pressure of the shower. It’s probably because there is a water saver in the shower head, but still. Also, the overall quietness of the building/unit was fantastic with the exception of the occasional scraping of a chair in the unit above us. HOWEVER, if you like to sleep late, I’m not sure if you would be able to in the 1 bedroom of this unit. The rising sun brightens the room even with the blinds closed and the windows don’t do anything for the noise of the roadway that starts around 6am. This is just something to consider if this is a deal breaker for you. I feel this unit would be just fine for a couple with no children, possibly a couple with one small child whose only goal is to play in the sand. This location would probably be torture for tweens and teens because there is no “action” here. No parasailing or rentals of any kind. Nothing within walking distance to hold anyone’s attention really. I would, however, recommend the Beach House restaurant that is a short drive up the road. They have a wonderful menu and you can eat outside right on the beach. I hope this honest assessment will help in your decision making process. Happy vacation!
