You can see the Gulf from your screened in Lanai, there's a breeze, and sun. This condo comes with everything you need to sit on the beach. Umbrella, chairs, towels, and kids toys. A playpen in the one bed room also high chair in the dining area. Flat screens in every room. The condo is roomie. U r on the south side of the island but the sky still has nice sun sets. Everything on the island is a short drive. I rate the SANDBAR restaurant #10+. There is a pool n hot tub. But the Gulf Coast is rite there. Marine life to, see sting rays, Manatees, start fish, everyday there's dolphins. Don't be scared they are there n then gone. The water you can see if there is something there. It is not the Atlantic Ocean, Sea turtles will hatch soon. It is an experience, people have been going there 10,20,30, years. I asked cause I talk alot. My friend wants to go back again. I live in Florida it's pleasant too go somewhere no trash on the streets no homeless begging, just pleasant.
