This home has it all within walking distance: shopping at Boulineau’s (across the street) which has absolutely everything (including baked goods made daily, ice cream, butcher, fresh seafood, prepared food, water toys, tourist items, etc. etc.); mini-golf; 2 other ice cream places. The only time a car was used was to go to play golf and to Barefoot Landing. Would have liked to have a restaurant in walking distance, but none took reservations and since we were a group of 10, we drove to Umbertos in Barefoot Landing, which was great!

The beach has very easy access. Great beach wide open and the body surfing/boogie boarding was terrific. When we returned from the beach, we had the pool to enjoy. It was a nice size and we were rarely there when the neighbors were. Only negative is that all of the furniture is broken/falling apart and needs to be replaced. There was no place comfortable to sit.

The home is well designed, with 5 bedrooms and 5 ½ baths. Each bedroom had its own private bath, which was perfect for our group of 10. (We don’t recommend planning on using the 2 pull out sofa beds, though; even our 10 yr old wouldn’t sleep on it, it was so uncomfortable.) The view from the living room of the ocean was good…always lots of activity going on. We found though that there was not enough seating in either the living room, dining room or the 3rd fl balcony. When a home sleeps 10-14, we would expect to all eat together! Good parking under the house, which accommodated 4 large vehicles.

This home must get a lot of use…it needed some deep cleaning when we arrived. It was after 3pm before we could check in, because the cleaning people were still there. Also the mgmt. company forgot to give us the key for the elevator (be sure to ask for it). A couple of additional recommendations: there are NO cleaning or paper supplies, so you might want to bring some with you; if you purchase the linen package, it does not include hand towels; there are no hot pads in the unit.
