What a fantastic place to get away from it all! This unit is right on the ocean - at night you can open the windows in the master bedroom and listen to the ocean waves crashing. The location is ideal - right at the end of the road leading past all the other units. The road actually ends before the building where this condo is situated, so the front door opens onto a small walkway, a nice lawn, and the tennis courts. The entire condo complex is very quiet. There is a nice pool and we were often the only ones swimming or playing tennis. The condo has tennis rackets, balls, beach chairs, beach umbrellas - it was just like being at home!
There is a nice big-screen TV, and high speed Internet access if you bring your laptop.
Outside on the patio facing the ocean you'll find a table, chairs and a wicker couch where you can sit and relax. There is a small barbecue which is great for grilling fresh fish from the market. We ate all of our meals on the patio.
Just up the hill is a shopping center with a fantastic grocery store that has a phenomenal hot deli with great ribs and fried chicken. You can also get fresh sushi and poke. Just a few minutes north on the road toward town is a great Farmer's Market with incredible fruits and vegetables.
There is a sandy beach that you can walk to in about 10 minutes - a very pleasant walk north along the ocean. Nice snorkeling and quite a few green sea turtles. Just on the south side of the condo complex is a beautiful golf course. A lot of people walk there in the evening and sit on the grass under the palm trees to watch the sunset - hoping to see the Green Flash! We didn't see it, but the sunset experience was outstanding nevertheless
The pictures on the web site are very accurate, so check them out.
We would highly recommend this home, and hope to be able to return there soon. |

My personal tips:
KTA Superstore - just up the hill
The KTA Superstore just up the hill from the condo is more than just a grocery store. It has a fantastic hot and cold deli with ribs, fried chicken, fresh sushi, etc. Delicious food prepared fresh every day. The prices are much better than other grocery stores, and you can take it home and eat it on your deck overlooking the ocean.
