This is the best property for anyone with kids. Having the bay literally right out your back door was the best part. My little ones stayed in there for hours hunting crabs and fish. We drove across the road to the beach every day. We had a wonderful stay and would stay here again.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Hermitage on the Bay!

Thank you Shara for your nice comments. The Hermitage was built in the 1970's and is one of the few low-rise condominiums left. I'd pick it any day over one of the high-rise condos available. Thanks again. LeAnne Bonner

Great place to get away and relax.
