The pictures of the expansive beach in front of the building on the Gulf side are no longer accurate and should not be advertised as such. There is a 40 foot beach or so with freshly dumped white soft sand in front with new stair walks down to go swimming in between a rock wall. This all happened after the pictures were taken in the hurricane. It is a quiet and friendly atmosphere with people fishing off the beach all day. The views from the 3rd floor are spectacular with the type of sunsets you remember. My unit unfortunately did not come prepared with enough or any dishwasher detergent, sponges for the sink, toilet paper, paper towels, and laundry detergent which was annoying and underwhelming for my expectation for a weekly rental. The building itself has made a great comeback, pretty landscaping, boat slips on the inter-coastal behind, and I would come back here.
