We just returned home following our week long vacation at Ocean's End. How can I fit a week's worth of vacation for our two sons, their wives, our 7 month old granddaughter, my husband and myself in a short review?

Well, we had wild horses in the yard EVERY day. We went kayaking in the canals and bays. We went kayaking in the ocean. We went surf fishing in the ocean and caught a few (mine being the largest!!!). Walked to the beach. Drove to the beach. Walked the sand roads. Swam in the pool every day. Soaked in the hot tub every day. Shot pool in the game room nightly. Sat and relaxed on the expansive decks daily. Slept in our own spacious bedrooms every night. Enjoyed family time playing Trivial Pursuit in the comfort of the top floor family area. Enjoyed all our meals cooked in the great kitchen or on the grill. Watched a couple movies in the evening together as a family on the large screed TV in the upstairs family area. Went beaching during a full moon. Sat and talked for hours with the locals at the next door fire station. Basically, we made memories that will last a lifetime in a beautiful well appointed home that offered room to gather together as a family but also offered the room for us to spend some quiet alone time whether it be in our bedrooms, on the deck, in the game room,, the family room, the pool, or the back yard.

The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

I am going to climb on my soap box here for just a minute. Having sat and talked with the folks at the fire station for quite awhile one day. I learned a little about the folks who 'vacation' at homes in the area. Ocean's End is such a beautiful home and in such a beautiful and peaceful area. There is no other place like Corova Beach in the country,,, perhaps the world. How can people be so disrespectful of other peoples' property and lifestyle is beyond me. I don't care if someone pays $10 or $10,000 dollars, it is still wrong to be disrespectful, thoughtless, destructive, and inconsiderate. Rather than having the mindset of "well, I paid for it, so it is mine to do what I please." perhaps try the mindset of "these people are so proud of their homes, accomplishments, and love of the area that they want to offer the opportunity to the rest of us to experience it at least once in our lives." For people to come into someone else's home and break furniture. destroy habitats, and ignore rules and regulations is beyond me!
