Step‑by‑Step: How to Use the Glunz Virtual Tour to Choose Your Room

1) Start with your must‑haves

Make a quick checklist before you click:

• View: Do you want direct oceanfront or a tranquil island‑side outlook?
• Space & kitchen: Suites and villas include full kitchens or kitchenettes; standard rooms include a mini‑fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
• Bed setup: Standards offer King or Double Queen options.
• Accessibility: ADA‑compliant choices include the Deluxe Oceanfront Beach Level Suite (ADA Compliant) and the Oceanfront Beach Level King Standard (ADA Compliant).
• Family features: Consider proximity to the beach and pools, plus kid‑friendly perks like pack ’n plays, beach games, and giant yard games.
• Pets: Pets are permitted in Villas only (fee applies); service animals are welcome and exempt from fees.

2) Navigate by room category

Use the tour (and the Accommodations sections for Villas, Suites, Ocean View Standards, and Island View Standards) to jump directly into the types that fit your checklist. This speeds up comparisons and keeps you focused on the essentials.

3) Compare views and layouts side by side

As you pan and zoom:

• Look through windows and patio doors to gauge view orientation (oceanfront vs. island side).
• Scan the living space to see seating, dining areas, and how the room flows—especially helpful for families and longer stays.
• In villas and suites, locate the kitchen or kitchenette to confirm it meets your cooking style.

4) Check proximity to your favorite amenities

On the tour, trace your path from the room to:

• The private beach and two oceanfront pools
• The oceanfront hot tub and fire pits
• Havana Jack’s Oceanside Restaurant & Bar and the tiki bar
• The oceanfront gym, hammocks, and outdoor game areas

Proximity can shape your daily rhythm—early ocean dips, sunset hangs by the fire pit, or easy lunch runs to Havana Jack’s.

5) Confirm in‑room essentials for comfort and convenience

• Standards: Mini‑fridge, microwave, and coffee maker—great for simple breakfasts or snacks.
• Suites & Villas: Full kitchens or kitchenettes—ideal for families, extended stays, and home‑style meals.
• Across all rooms: Air conditioning, an in‑room safe, a 32‑inch TV with cable, complimentary toiletries, and hair dryer.
• Connectivity: High‑speed Wi‑Fi of 50 Mbps or higher is included, making it easy to work, stream, or plan excursions.

6) Use the tour to plan your playtime

• Spot the kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles included in the resort fee and picture your perfect day.
• Identify on‑site fishing spots shown in property scenes.
• Find fire pits and hammocks for evening relaxation.
• Note outdoor games areas (giant Jenga, cornhole, and more) for family fun.

Pro Tips for Getting the Most from the Glunz Virtual Tour

• Go full‑screen and slow down: Pan, zoom, and linger—small layout details (like dining nooks or patio access) can make a big difference.
• Screen‑cap favorites: Save views of top contenders to compare side by side.
• Match your trip style: If sunset beach hangs and hot‑tub soaks are key, prioritize rooms near the beach and pools you see in the tour.
• Choose ADA with confidence: If you need accessible accommodations, view the Deluxe Oceanfront Beach Level Suite (ADA Compliant) and the Oceanfront Beach Level King Standard (ADA Compliant) on the tour to assess entry, bathroom layout, and proximity to amenities.
• Plan dining your way: Prefer on‑site meals? Note how close your room is to Havana Jack’s Oceanside Restaurant & Bar and the tiki bar. Cooking more? Focus on suites or villas with kitchen facilities.
• Traveling with kids: Look for easy routes to the 600‑foot private beach, two pools, and outdoor games. Complimentary pack ’n plays are available on request, and up to two children 16 or under stay free using existing beds.
• Bringing pets: Book a Villa. Pets are permitted in Villas only; the pet fee is $75.00 per night per pet (up to 2 pets; combined weight up to 50 lb). Service animals are exempt from fees.
• Leverage included perks: The resort fee covers beach loungers, towels, umbrellas, fire pits, Wi‑Fi, parking, kayaks, paddle boards, bicycles, the oceanfront gym, and more—use the tour to visualize how you’ll use each.
• Mind seasonal dining updates: The bar and dining venues close seasonally each year right after Labor Day for renovations. If your dates are around that window, plan accordingly.
• Know your parking: One complimentary self‑parking spot is included for registered guests; Villa reservations include two spots.
