There's no way they will be open in February - I'd say even June is a stretch at this point. I stayed at the Royal Islander right next door. When I left on Jan 24 they were still closing it in - no interior work done - plumbing, electrical, walls etc. Base upon what you say you're looking for I'd check into renting at the Royal Islander. It sounds like ti hits most of your check list - on the beach with a beautiful pool across the street from a Casino. Every unit has a balcony overlooking the pool/ocean. The homeowners association at the Islander maintains a bulletin board for owners who are looking to rent their units http://royal-islander.org/ or call the resort directly.
