When searching for beach house rentals, I was afraid my options would be limited because I wanted to include my father in the event. I included the word handicapped, since my father had experienced a stroke 6 yrs ago. So what the heck, I thought. Let's see what we come up with. Luckily, the search engine picked this property as a choice. We didn't need a LOT of modifications, but the ramp alone was wonderful.

We arrived the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. The high-tech locks let us in on time, allowing us to make it to the beach for at least a few hours. My sister and her girls stayed in the downstairs "apartment", while my husband and I shared one of two upstairs room and my father got the other. The two upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom between them. The rooms were comfy, the shower great. The WiFi was good as was the TV.

We enjoyed the hot tub and the Tiki Bar area, oh and the hammock for just hanging out. My Dad loved the upstairs deck where he could sit and read in the shade with the nice Gulf breeze keeping him cool. Our only regret was that we got there too late to rent a golf cart @ Ricks. The walk was a little longer than expected. There was parking at the beach access points to the right and left of the property.The beaches were great, clean except for the seaweed. Nice people around us.

We didn't cook much. Afterall, it was a holiday, and my birthday, had just been my sisters 50th birthday. So we had the kitchen for cereal and sanwhiches and stuff. In the evenings we went out to check the local sights. The first place we ate was Bluewater Grill. Family owned and operated. Nice folks. Good menu selection from Pizza to salads, burgers and sandwiches. We enjoyed our meals. In fact we ate there again two nights later, getting pizza for take-out. The next night we went out to The Strand. We ate at Joe's Crab shack, which is always a fun experience. Our waiter, Ben, was great. He took good care of us. We even got another waiter, Ben's roomate Mike, to give up his t-shirt to my sister. (They didn't have anymore of the red-white and blue tie dye shirts.) We bought him another one of course, so everyone was happy!!

Another day of relaxing by the hot tub, going down to the beach, the ice cream man coming by in his musical truck and we were in heaven. This place had everything we needed, and was beautifully decorated to boot.

Overall a GREAT experience. One well worth repeating. Thank you.
