Location, location, location!!! Walk out the door, cross the street, and you are on the beach! No packing the car or finding a parking spot. Grab your stuff and go. That part is awesome!!
Now, this isn't a 5-star hotel built in the 2000's. The units are older. The parking is a little tight. The unit could use a little patchwork here and there. But overall, I would say 4 or 4.5 out of 5 stars. The unit is cute and well stocked. It is a 1-butt kitchen, as we like to say, so pick one person to cook and everyone else stay out! There were 4 of us and it was a little tight, but overall it wasn't bad.
The pool was good for the kids. The unit has a bin right outside the front door with a couple of beach chairs, some pool noodles, and some beach toys (I think I saw a boogie board or two and life preserver or two as well).
It was comfortable and worked for what we needed. The beds were comfortable and we loved the location. Right across the street is one of the best seafood restaurants around (Pampano Joe's). We watched lots of people walking to the beach from units blocks down the road. Believe me when I say this is an incredible location! You can't get closer to the beach without being ON the beach.
A short walk down the scenic drive and you have a beach shop, a treat shop, a DQ (treats only, no food), a coffee house (Badass coffee rocks!!!!), a wine shop & boutique, and a take-out restaurant we didn't get a chance to try, but which has great reviews.
Jump in the car and you can have your choice of just about anything you want within about 15 minutes.
Monica, the manager, is great to work with! She is responsive and on top of it! When we arrived, there was a golf cart parked in our spot (parking is assigned per room). Let's say the cart was not there for long. If you text or call, she is quick to reply and a true gem of the emerald coast!
Would definitely stay there again!
