Beach views range from excellent to angled or partial from your condo located on the Gulf of Mexico. The position of the condo building on the beach creates the type of view from the balcony of your individual property. Your advantage, in addition to the view, is the location on the beach side of the street.
Your house or condo building is located directly on one of the bays, lagoons or bayous on the island. Views of the backwaters will be excellent from houses. Water views from condos will be excellent, good, angled, partial or no view depending on how the buildings are positioned on the backwaters. In most cases you will have easy beach access nearby.
