“Las Brisas” is Spanish for “breezes,” and from the waterfront balcony of Las Brisas 504, you’ll certainly revel in the salt-kissed breezes from the Gulf of Mexico. You’ll relish the spectacular view as well, from both the balcony and inside the condo.

In fact, the view might be the first thing you notice upon entering this top-floor unit. The open floor plan allows you to gaze out at the sparkling white beach and turquoise Gulf waters from anywhere in the living/dining/kitchen area. Whether you’re stretched out on a sofa, sitting down to dinner, or rustling up a snack, you’ll have a front-row view. Just wait until you see how spectacular the sunsets are!

The living area’s two plush couches and armchair can accommodate the whole group. Watch a movie on the flat-screen TV, surf the web via the free WiFi, play Uno with the kids—in other words, make yourself at home.

The dining table seats eight, and there’s room for several more at the adjacent breakfast bar. The balcony has a small table as well. You and your sweetheart can savor a romantic dinner out here while the kids are watching TV, or everyone can enjoy an afternoon snack alfresco while watching dolphins leap among the waves and seagulls swoop across the sky.

Given how many restaurants are within walking distance of Las Brisas 504, you might not cook much during your stay. But when you do, you’ll find the unit’s recently renovated kitchen is more than up to the task. In addition to stainless-steel appliances, cookware, and tableware, there are gleaming stone countertops and plenty of storage. You can stock up on groceries at the beginning of your stay rather than have to run out to the store every day, leaving you more time to frolic on the beach. And speaking of timesavers, the unit has its own washer and dryer.

Like the living area, Las Brisas 504’s primary suite has sliding doors that open onto the balcony. Step outside late at night to marvel at the star-studded sky before slipping into your queen-size bed and falling asleep to the rhythmic surf. There’s a flat-screen TV as well, a huge closet, and a private bathroom with a combination shower/tub.

Four people can sleep in the second bedroom, which has a pair of double beds along with a TV. The third bedroom, with a twin-size daybed and a trundle beneath, can double as a sitting room. These rooms share the second full bathroom. What’s more, the condo has two assigned parking spots, great if you’re vacationing with another couple.

The Las Brisas complex features a gulf-front pool surrounded by a patio furnished with chaises so that you can luxuriate in the sunshine after your swim. If you reel in fish while on one of the many charters, cook it up on a gas grill at Las Brisas’ barbecue area, then eat up at one of the patio tables, all just a few paces from the beach.

Having the beach as your backyard will no doubt be your favorite part of staying at Las Brisas 504. Rather than have to load up the car, drive, and then hunt for parking before you can plunge into the gulf or search for shells in the sand, you can stroll to and from the beach whenever you want.

Should you tire of swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, parasailing, racing jet skis, or other beach activities, there’s plenty more to do nearby. In less than a half-hour, you can walk to John’s Pass Village and Boardwalk, home to restaurants, shops, and the Alligator Attraction. Numerous golf courses—and mini-golf arcades—are just a short drive away, and in a half-hour, you can drive to St. Petersburg.

Las Brisas 504 has a three-night minimum stay, but you’ll definitely want to stay longer. In fact, you might never want to leave! Make your reservation today, and get ready for what might be your best vacation ever.
