We bought this particular condo because it is so well appointed. It has great views of the beach and Gulf from the balcony. In addition it is a west end unit which affords additional views and light through the side window. It is within walking distance of 3 restaurants and has a trail right outside which is perfect for running, cycling or just taking long picturesque walks.
The building is of a commercial concrete frame construction which we felt was important as it is almost on the beach and the gulf coast has been known to experience the odd storm! Allied with this we have installed quality finishes and I believe that the ambience when one stays here is superior to that at some of the surrounding properties. My kids love the fact that the pool is right outside and it is no more than 2 minutes to the beach. In fact the beach is so close that you do not have to load up with the whole day's beach paraphernalia - it is easier to walk back and forth than some high rises I have stayed at that are right on the beach
