Let’s start with the good. The Gulf Island Beach & Tennis Club Condominium complex is very nice. Complete with everything that you would want. Heated pool, large exercise room, most complete game room that I have seen, pickle ball courts, 24-hour gated entrance, good parking, some of the nicest people you could meet and more. This is a one-bedroom unit on the 6th floor with plenty of room and good view.
Now the not so good. I will try to keep this short. You rent a unit with an ocean view to be able to sit and view the ocean. The railing on the patio is a solid wall. This unit had 2 short chairs with double pads on them in an attempt to sit you higher I am guessing. This does not work and only makes the chairs uncomfortable to try and set in. The small table fits the chairs but has one leg ready to fall off. So if you like to sit and relax and enjoy the view while you’re on vacation this is not it. The first 2 days of our there was cool with a strong wind coming in off the gulf. Both side of the sliding door (slider and stationary) are not sealed. When you close the curtains there was enough wind to move them quite a bit. Keep your shoes on as there was a good breeze across the floor. As for the furnishings they are a cheap as you can get. So you get what you pay for with the comfort. You can get by with the kitchen, but a complete set of silver ware would be nice. This unit just needs some repairs and updates. Until then I would look at different unit in the complex.
