Beautiful Eden House Gulf Front Condo- August Openings Beach Season

About Jack Mehok

I am a retired Chemical Engineer and have one daughter, Katie. Katie and her husband Paul have four children ranging in age from 4 to 18. I think that in a heartbeat Katie and Paul’s family would relocate to the warmth of Florida. I’ve lived in the Chicago area for too many years to ever relocate. But it’s a blessing to have such a great place to vacation to as the Eden House condo.

Why Jack Mehok chose South Island

We bought our condo in the Eden House for a number of reasons. First and most important is that the condo is beachfront. Secondly, the unit is an end unit in the building with windows in every room. Other condos that we looked at were interior units that were 'tunnel-like' with windows only at the opposite ends of the unit. The condo is also relatively large with 1350 sq ft of floor space. There is elbow room for everyone even when six people vacation together. The Eden House is also beautifully maintained and landscaped. Finally, it is on the south end of the island. This is the 'quiet end' of the island away from the commercial attractions on the north end of the island. These attractions are simply a trolley ride or car ride away.

What makes this Apartment unique

The lanai (Florida speak for porch) is screened in and directly overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. It is large enough to accommodate six wicker chairs. No need to leave your unit to do your wash. There is a washer and dryer in the kitchen laundry closet. You can obviously pack much lighter knowing that doing your laundry is no inconvenience whatsoever.
