The condo is as pictured-beautiful & plenty of space for us; parking & elevators were easy (though it was fall when we stayed); walk to the beach was easy with access by the emergency vehicle entrance (so didn’t have to navigate stairs for the beach wagon); employees were very helpful, warm & friendly; short walk to dining and shopping; helicopter landing is behind the condo so flights are continuous throughout the day; amenities (hot tub, gym, fire pit, pool) are perfect location and size (pool does start to get shade around lunchtime in the zero entry area which is nice for small children); not able to hear ocean waves (but we were at a higher floor); beautiful views of ocean, can see sunsets from balcony with pier; from front door can see east view of ocean; Russell Fields Pier is a very short walk and dog beach is on the other side of the pier; noisier than other gulf beaches, but to be expected being on Front Beach Rd in PCB next to Pier Park and we knew that going in so actually was less noise than we expected (also construction next door to pool right now), but can’t hear those noises when in the room at all; ease of garage entry, check in, check out, etc.; make sure to have your bracelet on at the pool area as it is closely monitored.
Overall, it was an exceptionally nice location, amenities, and friendly people “on the beach” that we were looking for and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for making our last minute beach trip so fun, easy and great!
