The Beach (Great) - We have stayed all over Florida and visited most of it's beaches. We all agreed that this was the nicest beach we have ever been to. Great shelling, found lots of star fish, saw manatees three times.
The Resort (Good) - We booked kind of last minute and this resort probably would have not been our first choice, but we were blown away at how beautiful, clean and well kept up the outside areas of the resort are. The pool is very nice. We had heard stories of the staff being strict around the pool. We did not have any problems. There were tons of families with kids, like us, and we had no issues. In fact, I was impressed with the staff. You can tell they take pride in their property and try to keep it maintained and safe.
The Room (Not Good) - We new going in that the unit would be older and not completely updated. However, we were overall disappointed in the condo itself. We were in building 11, 3rd floor, #302. The view was nice. Beach view, although partially blocked by a big palm tree. Kitchen was small and appliances were functional, but dated and old. Biggest problem was that I thought we booked a room with 2 full bathrooms. This was not really the case. The master bathroom has only a bathtub, no shower.

Biggest problem was that I thought we booked a room with 2 full bathrooms. This was not really the case. The master bathroom has only a bathtub, no shower. The pictures and descriptions on the website made it look like there was a shower, but there is not. This meant we had to use 1 shower for 5 people, not ideal. Next time I guess we need to be more careful when booking. Unit was not cleaned well. Housekeeping needs to be better. Tons of pillows in unit but only a few actually had pillow cases. Many of the light bulbs were burned out and not working. Little details like that were missed.
Warning-you will need a car as everything is far away. But that was OK with us. We liked the seclusion.
Be careful if you have a Bayside room. The music from the bars across the bay could be distracting. We were on beach side and it was no issue.
If you want a better beach view get a 4th floor room.
Overall we would absolutely come back, but try to find a nicer unit. More
