The convenience of the condo for children is second to none. We went for spring break with our two kids, ages 3 and 6. Being able to walk right out to the water made this trip great. There were also beach chairs available and a kayak, which we were so thankful for bc the water was still chilly mid April. Water was pretty clear overall though. Lots of hermit crabs! And not crowded at all. I did unfortunately find several large pieces of glass on the beach, so I was thankful I had my children in swim shoes. We loved the beach so much, we did not use the pool at all, though it appeared clean and well kept. Gulf Beach access was directly across the street. If you have a wagon, the walk is easy with kids. Might be harder for older adults though even though it is a very short distance, right across a two way street that was hardly busy. Peg Leg Pete’s is technically in walking distance also, but we drove there bc it was too far for my 62 year old Mom. Overall, the condo is a little dated. All the condos in that section are. There were several balconies being updated by construction workers, probably just due to age. But the area was quiet and clean, and we felt safe there. It also took a little while for the AC to cool the second floor. Other than that, it was a great trip for us. The convenience with small children was the best part.
