The apartment was nice and met most of our expectations.
There was plenty of space for 6 people (all adults) to move about the apartment. The beds were all super comfortable and overall the interior of the condo was clean. The amenities offered were nice (Pools, gym, etc.) and the location was really great for spending time at the beach - Miramar Beach was only a 5-7 minute walk or just a 2 minute drive. The balcony was huge, which was great for drinking coffee early in the morning or relaxing in the evening.
However, there were some simple things that could have been done to make the stay better, especially in an apartment designed for large families (it supposedly sleeps 8 people). Although there was a massive balcony, there was only seating for 4 people. It means the whole family could not be out there together unless people also were sitting on the not-so-comfortable dining table chairs. This was the same for the living room area, which only had one sofa and a chair (i.e. seating for 4 people). In an apartment designed to hold so many people, it could use a large sectional or more options for sitting together (besides at the dining room table). Additionally, the room with the two bunk beds really would benefit from a table or shelf or a small drawer. Having two adults in there, we had to use the closet space of other rooms and pile our things in other areas of the apartment or on the floor (not great given that you are tracking sand in from the beach) even though we had a separate (albeit small) room.
Finally, small conveniences really would make a big difference. There were not enough dishes if you planned to actually use the kitchen for the 6 people. There were no oven mitts or baking sheets, and not enough bowls, glasses, etc. We ended up buying some of our own to make up for it. Also, there were no hooks or clothing racks for hanging bath towels or even beach towels and swimsuits, which seems like it should be a basic element of a beachside condo.
In general, the condo was great, especially for the cost and location. However, the stay would have been much more enjoyable with just a few additions and basic items included and/or changes made.
