Loved staying in 502. You can see the ocean while cooking breakfast, and hear the ocean from every where in the condo! You can even watch the sunrise from the balcony which is a plus with small children! We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to go back again!

Awesome view

We enjoyed our stay here, this was our first time staying GULFSIDE we had stayed bayside in the past. We enjoyed the easy access to the the beach. The only downside we had was a lot of renovations occurring in the unit below us. (especially early in the morning) … but other than that our trip was great. Would like to stay again sometime

First trip to Florida for hubby's 60th birthday!

Cannot say enough about this heavenly beach condo! It was a vacation experience all it's own...my hubby had to remind me there were several things to do OUTSIDE the condo, LOL!! The wrap around balcony...the beach & ocean view...the decor...all the comforts of home (and then some) . Shelley had communicated so well beforehand that I didn't once have to send her a text or call while we were on vacation. She included a list of her favorite places to eat and things to do in the area, which was helpful! Overall this was a five star vacation and we would love to stay again! I think I got brownie points with the hubby...he loved that we could sit on the balcony and see multiple fighter jets fly by...I told him I ordered those for his birthday!!
