My husband and I visited T&C in January on a business trip. We fell in love with this island and wanted to bring our family back for vacation. We searched many homes all over the island and decided on Conch Pearl. My husband said it was the perfect house for us, our two teenage boys and two friends. Sadly, my husband passed away before our family vacation. However, the boys and I made the trip anyway and had a very relaxing time.
This home was very spacious for all five of us to have alone time if needed. The beach was only a few feet away and almost EMPTY! We felt like we had our own private island. The hot tub was a big hit with guys. They must have used it daily! They also played tennis most mornings along with a few games of "horse" with basketball. This house truly has everything you could ever want.
While there are several things to do on this island, the boys didn't leave the property except to swim, snorkel or walk on the beach. The grocery store was very close and we did a lot of cooking in the well equipped kitchen & outdoor grill area. The kitchen is stocked with most of the basics (oil, spices, etc.) so you don't need to purchase those at the store. A few restaurants nearby deliver or you have several options at the marina for dining or take out. The screened porch was used for afternoon card games or just relaxing & reading. The gym is actually downstairs in a little basement accessed from the porch. There is no access to AC in there but was very well equipped. We used the AC in the bedrooms at night and the AC in the living/kitchen area in the late afternoon/evening. For the week, I spent about $400 for AC. WELL worth the money to be very comfortable.
I highly recommend Conch Pearl. The owners are fabulous, the grounds keeper kept the property in pristine condition and the property manager was very helpful. He came to visit mid week to check on us but we didn't need a thing! This wonderful home was missed before we drove out of the driveway! We will be back!!
