The unit was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The beach in front wasn't excessively crowded like some of the places in Destin for example, although there are about 4 rows of chairs deep. Chair setup is included, but umbrella rental is extra, although you can easily set up your own. This unit is on the rear corner of the building. The screened patio allows for a view of the beach, but the view from the units at the front of the building would be unobstructed. The condo buildings are definitely older, but appear to be well taken care of. We enjoyed the dolphin and sandbar tour, and jet ski and kayak rental which are within a 15 minute walk of the unit.
