316 Gulfside had a fantastic view of the gulf and lovely outdoor furniture to enjoy. I felt for the cost of the week the unit needs some updating, and there was an odd smell that could not be remedied throughout our stay. Carpeting is difficult to keep clean through multiple rentals and there was carpeting in each of the bedrooms. The multiple fake plants throughout did not add to the decor, and were very dusty. Grout in the master bath and shower was dirty with mold in the shower caulking that was pulling away from the sides of the shower.
People staying with children, need to be aware that this unit is above the hot tub area where people party, very loudly, until at least 11pm each night, when the pool area technically closes. After the resort office closes there is no-one to contact with issues unless it's an emergency such as being locked out of your unit (it states this on the after hour voicemail). I also felt that I could hear the units around us more than other condo resorts we have stayed. The master bedroom shares the wall with the living room of the unit next door and we could hear full conversations and television shows. This made sleeping difficult for the entire family.
The proximity to gulf beach, daily chair service and clean pool area were positives, but the noise and outdated unit were not worth the cost of our stay and I would not choose again.
