What can I say.....the condo was exactly as described. The pictures do not do it justice. Very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and Bob has thought of everything you may ever need. Kitchen fully stocked, plenty of linens, and beach chairs for everyone! Bob was fantastic to work with; super quick on his responses throughout the entire process. Direct gulf front views, incredible sunsets and beautiful landscaped grounds with lots of palm trees give this location a superior tropical ambiance. Coffee in the morning off the rear balcony as the sun comes up and wine in the evening off the front balcony as the sun goes down; doesn't get more perfect than that! The building itself is well kept, very clean, and quiet. The pool area was beautifully kept, never crowded or noisy and we were always able to find chairs. Using the shared BBQ's poolside was never a problem and we never had to wait more than a few minutes. Everyone does a nice job cleaning up after themselves so cooking on shared surfaces was never a concern. The island itself was a wonderful break from some of the other very crowded locations we have stayed in. Driving around the island was never an issue, and we rarely ran into much traffic at all. Shops and grocery stores were no more than a quick drive down the road one way, and the other direction had more shops and a movie theater. This condo is perfectly located on the island, central to everything. The beach was amazing, huge, and never too crowded. If you love shelling, this place is for you! We found tons; especially on our long beautiful walk down Tiger Tail Beach. We walked all the way to the tip and saw a baby dolphin playing in the shallows and it's pod not far off shore. It was such a wonderful spot and not many people. We saw a few nature photographers and a couple people but otherwise it felt like walking on a deserted island. We have stayed in many places using owner rentals; The Keys, Anna Maria, Madeira Beach, Indian Shores, to name a few. This condo tops the list as one of our favorites and we hope to return someday!
