With 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 3 beds, a queen size sofa bed and an extra twin size mattress, we had plenty of room to spread out. This condo is set off from the road on the bay side and not as massive as some of the other nearby locations. It was clean and tastefully decorated with everything we needed - the laundry room was a real bonus and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the dolphins in the water or the herons walking on the lawn. There was a beautiful pool, a fitness center, and a boat dock for renters - none of which we used, but they would be a great perk for those that would. We had a couple of minor issues while we were there, but the rental company could not have been more helpful or polite and handled everything efficiently. Considering the location on the main beach highway, it was very quiet and low key. You COULD walk across the busy highway to the beach on the other side of the road, but we chose to drive the 5 minutes to Gulf Island National Seashore where the crowds were much thinner. We have a national park pass so we did not have to pay but I think it's about $8/car and the pass is good for a week. It is totally worth the fee to avoid the crowds. There is also a boardwalk through a natural area for a quiet stroll - about 1/2 mile - and picnic tables at the pavillion. Our favorite thing to do is watch the Blue Angels practice when they are in town (Tuesday and Wednesday) from the OTHER Gulf Island National Seashore at Pensacola Beach. Fort Pickens is a primo spot to watch the show across the water at the Naval Air Station. Follow the crowds to the back parking lot and perch anywhere you can see the black lighthouse across the water for a great view. The jets fly directly overhead to regroup and they are very low, very fast, and very loud, which scared some of the smaller children, so maybe bring earplugs. It's amazing to watch, though, and shouldn't be missed. The museum at the NAS is also a good way to spend hours browsing among the planes and displays.
