Direct view of the beach with a couple of palm trees nearby, which was very appreciated. We didn’t use the pool, so can’t comment on that. The hot tub was not working yet. The condo was very clean, was beautifully decorated and we loved every minute we were there. So comforting and relaxing. I would love to live there! It was quiet and the balcony was very enjoyable with two comfortable Adirondack chairs plus a table and chairs. We very much enjoyed sitting on the screened balcony listening to the sounds of the ocean and watching the waves roll in. Location was great as it was close to John’s Pass, several other great beaches and our favorite restaurant The Conch Republic. Appreciated the beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. Would love to stay here again..
