This is the first time ever they've offered it for lease for you and your guests to enjoy. Beginning as early as November 2024 or through the entire winter season of 2025, you could call #505 home. (3 month minimum, max rental 6.5 months. Agreed upon rate plus county and state tax.) The owners designed and furnished this nearly 1600 sq foot condo with great care - providing elegant yet relaxed zones to compliment the beautiful Gulf views you'll enjoy from every room. This is open concept living at its best: comfortable indoor areas for dining, music, TV, reading ... even cocktail hour. The balcony is a cozy place for your morning coffee or a late night supper. The kitchen is fully equipped and keeps the cook right in the middle of things! The primary bedroom offers a spectacular Gulf view or total privacy ... an elegant private bath, generous closet space. Your guests have an equally welcoming and private area of their own on the other side of the unit. Yes, there is a full- size laundry, of course.
