Although there's much going on outside, our condo was peaceful and quiet. Little amenities make you feel like you're home -- personal and not commercial. There are beautiful views out every window. The balcony views were so soothing; with the ocean view off the large deck great as well -- and great if you wanted to "stay home" and catch some sun or watch the stars.
The water park is great for all ages. Hubby and I enjoyed the pool as well. We even had it to ourselves a couple of nights. We enjoyed a private boat excursion seeing dolphins, the island (name escapes me) was a fun outing with some shelling and ocean swimming. Next trip maybe we can enjoy the walking trail ....
There is a closet with some of those beach toys you'd want, but likely couldn't pack in your luggage; as well as games inside.
Lots of little shops and affordable restaurants are within walking distance. The public beach isn't far either and great for watching sunsets. We were quite comfortable letting two thirteen year olds go "off on their own."
The washer and dryer are a blessing for my packing. It was a standard size and fairly quiet. The owners didn't skimp on putting this place together. I suspect if it weren't comfortable for them; they wouldn't put it out there.
Thermostats for each bedroom were much appreciated. And the A/C was SO quiet! Both bathrooms had plenty of space, light and roomy showers as well as fluffy towels.
We can't say enough positive about our experience. We definitely plan a return trip. The owners are very personable and right on top of any questions you have. We never hesitated reaching out. We stayed one week and wish it had been a lot longer. (Maybe next time!).
If you go, say hi to the pelicans that swoop by the balcony, the dolphins swimming up the canal, and the cranes fishing off the docks. They were so fun to watch each day with our breakfast that we skipped our typical breakfasts out. Instead enjoying some of the locally homemade donuts with coffee (or tea) on the balcony.
Thank you Tom and Nikki. We had a great time! Laid back .... And relaxing ... While keeping busy! We'd give you more than five stars, but the computer won't let us.
