Location! Location! Location!

We stayed here February 25-March 5. The location of this property could not have been better. Uninstructed view of the beach and Gulf from lower and top deck. Within walking distance of one block to two restaurants. Very short drive to any grocery and other restaurants. We rented a golf cart for 1/2 day right down the street. We did not feel the need to rent a golf cart for a week because everything was so close to get to. Loved parking right at your front or back door. the condo had/supplied anything we needed. Stan is the best host ever. He returns any calls or text within minutes. We would definitly rent here again for any future trips back.

Beautiful view, across street from beach, relaxing family vacation!

The property has a fabulous Gulf view from directly across the street from the beach. Condo is nestled in beautiful surroundings of luxury homes and condos. It provides 4 chairs and an umbrella with straps and handles for easy carrying that all packs up easily. It's a very easy walk straight across the street, through the gate and down to the beach. The condo had everything we needed and then some including a stackable washer and dryer upstairs. The location is very nice and easily accessible by car to the mall, restaurants and stores. The property allowed our family dog so he got to come along. Our host was very responsive and helpful. Sand Pebbles 3 is a gem!
