Great condo with easy access to pool and beach

Everything was great…from location to size and easy check-in. Lots of restaurants close by. I was worried that we would hear all the noise from the pool but that wasn’t an issue at all. We really enjoyed being that close to the pool. The walk to the beach was easy as well.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Barrett

Host profile image
We are from Evansville, Indiana. We love visiting our grandkids, the beautiful emerald waters, sitting on our patio listening to the water fountain and enjoying the view of 30A. The convenience of walking to several restaurants, taking a walk or playing pickleball are options to walking the beach or taking a swim in the gulf.
We love being hosts and blessed to get to know so many wonderful people from everywhere!
