Walk right out patio door, just steps to the pool. And right across from beach, just a few more steps. Park right at front door. Can see the gulf from upstairs deck. A/C kept downstairs cool, not so much upstairs, where den area & master bedroom are. Small pool w/a 15 people capacity, wasn’t an issue though, even on Labor Day weekend. Several poolside umbrellas broken. I don’t fault Blue Surf 19 where I stayed. I had to call Monica a few times with minor questions, she responded right away. Very low key & relaxing weekend, which is just what I needed.
