Photos never do a great place justice, and the online photos of this condo are no exception. As my 71 year old (retired English teacher) mom said, "This is a very commodious condo!"
In our opinion, the photo of the walkway to the beach looked much longer than it seemed in real life. It gave us pause at booking, but is actually a short and bio-diverse walk that any nature lover would want to take their time with.
The surf is calm here, due to the coastline, and conch shells were bountiful at low-tide. They are all (ALL!) beautiful but...inhabited by hermit crabs - pinky to palm sized! So amazing, but don't take these home with you!
I also saw 2 live starfish doing thier squiggly moves toward the sea, dolphins, turtles, pelicans, herons, and so many other birds I'd never seen. The plant life was impressive for Septmeber!
We decided to try this beach (we live in Asheville, NC) for our mother/daughter trip this year because it is a bit closer and seemed more isolated than what we typically choose. It did not disappoint us!
Be prepared to drive 20-30 mins for gas, shopping and dining, but this is a nature/history lover's paradise - with Hunting State Park right nexdoor!
I can't wait to come back, when I can spend a whole week or more to settle in and explore the area.
