balcony, accessible through large sliding glass doors from the living room and the master
bedroom, overlooks the beach and the heated pool, and faces southwest across the Gulf.

boat traffic in and out of Johns Pass and the Bay, as well as foot traffic on the beach.

you get here.

(beach-side) elevator, which, when it reaches the top floor, is just a few feet from our
door.

penthouse level balcony faces the Gulf, not other condos, so no one watches you
sunbathe other than the occasional pelican, gull or parrot flying by .

heated pool 6 floors below is a favorite relaxation spot for many guests. There is a sun
deck around the pool with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and open showers to rinse off salt
