The Space:
It's all about the view at this Gulf front rental on the Emerald Coast! Prepare meals in your full kitchen, put your feet up and breathe in the salty sea air from your private, furnished balcony, or head downstairs and experience all the on-site, resort amenities including a large, heated pool, fitness room, and an outdoor grilling area.
This vacation rental is within walking distance of several restaurants ranging from family-friendly breakfasts at the Pancakery and excellent Italian fare from Mimmo's Ristorante Italiano. Explore the 208-acres of Henderson Beach State Park where you can hike the nature trail, photograph native wildlife, or just recline on the soft sandy beach. And for those looking to hit the links, the Indian Bayou Golf & Country Club is just a little over a mile north of this rental.

We had a great time, the accommodations met all our needs and expectations. The beach was splended as it usually is on the gulf. The entertainment and food were also great.
Very clean property, all new appliances. Great access to beach from property and close proximity to Henderson State Park, shopping and some great restaurants. Would stay again!

Spectacular views from the 8th floor. The condo was quite spacious and centrally located to restaurants and shopping. The grounds and pool area was also very nice.
Beautiful Oceanfront View!!!! It was even better than the pictures!!!! Enjoyed drinking coffee on the balcony taking in that Gorgeous view & listening to the ocean! Very Clean! Comfortable beds! Close to everything! Loved it!!! Made Family Memories to last a lifetime :)
The location could not be beat. Nice amenities. My only complaint is that the bedroom with the Murphy bed was extremely tight. The bed has to be lifted to get around the room and to close the door. Room is better suited for bunk beds.
We were only here for two nights but it worked out well. Balcony has amazing views. Only some minor issues like the shower curtain rod being broken.

My experience was amazing. My only problem was the cleaner actually ring the doorbell and opened the door before 10:00am, and before I checked out. That should not happen.

nice unit-not really 2 bedrooms
This is a lovely unit with a great view, but fold down bed in "2nd bedroom" does not allow for door to close for privacy when the bed is folded down..
