We just spent a perfect pandemic winter in the very comfortable confines of Heritage Bay. This "Veranda" 2 bedroom plus unit was a great fit for the 2 of us for 4 months; super layout, really comfortable furniture, extremely well stocked and supplied, and with superb sunrise views from the main terrace. It is graciously managed by a lovely couple from Toronto, who went above an beyond to make our stay comfortable.
We especially enjoyed the 27 holes of golf, mixing up 2 nines each time, whereby it never got old (even weeks where I snuck out there 6 days of 7)! My personal favorite was finishing in the late afternoon sun on Cypress...absolutely gorgeous.
The location is 10 minutes or less to everything you need in life. Sprouts Green Market, Whole Foods, Araya Sushi, Thai Udon shop, NY Pizza takeout, etc....and only another 20 minutes to get 'downtown' to 5th Ave. Being cautious during pandemic lockdown, we never really got into going out often, but the options were plentiful. Near the end of our stay, the outdoor cafe at HB opened up, and we might great use of that, day, post golf, and a few dinners...great setting....even new petanque (bocce) courts.
We felt blessed to be able to live most of our days/eves outdoors, whether tennis, golf, or sunset picnicking by the lake. Daily miles long morning walks were fantastic, with excellent footpaths. The weather was, of course, superb (Dec-Apr).
Our favorite time spent, after golf, was probably sitting on the terrace for morning sunrise coffee, watching the early birds tee off on Cypress 11 (entertaining always, hilarious often), and listening to and watching the cornucopia of real birds and other wildlife right outside our porch. The birding was incredible! (And we're not birders-lol).
All in all, we were very grateful to have spent such a lovely winter at this perfectly outfitted condo at Heritage Bay. A special thank you to our hosts for making it so.
