The beach access is literally across the street, which was a plus given the mid-day jockeying for parking spaces at any public beach access. Glad we didn't have to fool with that. There are no less than 10 dining options (of all price ranges) within walking distance from the unit, which again saved time in trying to find someplace to park late at night on a weekend. The unit itself was simple but accommodating for our group of 6. The linen/towel exchange was just a few streets down and they were quick and helpful. The walk up to the third floor was probably the only negative. The balcony was huge and offered a great view of Gulf Blvd and the ocean. We were surprised at how quiet the rooms were, definitely no issues with sound transferring through the walls and floors. Spent no time in the pool, given the ocean is across the street and didn't see any grilling areas, so didn't grill during our stay. We would definitely stay again!
