This condo was absolutely incredible. The 3 panel sliding door that fully opens to the outdoor patio/ocean view makes this space outstanding. It was a family vaca for us with our 2-1/2 year old, the condo was very safe and the patio had a gate on it which helped keep her from running to the bay. The condo is literally on the bay, so we would set up our beach stuff in the morning and would just leave it there all day as we came in for lunches/restroom breaks/etc. It was all visible! The bay side is much more low key than the ocean side, I would highly recommend this side for ANYONE who wants to relax. We used the bbq and outdoor seating for every meal, great for people watching and chatting with locals walking the boardwalk. The large sliders do have blinds when you are ready to head in and relax with a little privacy. We did see a few stingrays off the bay first thing in the morning so stomp/shuffle your feet if your taking an early stroll in the water!
