Overall our stay at The Gulf Strand was very pleasant. Our host was gracious enough to allow early access. The apartment was clean and well equipped with utensils for every occasion. Access to the beach and the pool was another positive experience. Our partial view of the Gulf from our balcony was acceptable. Our overall review was excellent and we could see ourselves returning. My only point of improvement might be with the beach furniture and beach towels which are aged and need to be replaced. But this was a minor issue. The Host was available with every question that we had.
