We enjoyed the pool and the gym and had a delicious meal at the Blue Water Grill right on the property. The house is comfortable and spacious with everything we needed for our week-long stay. The location was convenient to the beach and shopping as well as the other activities we enjoyed like jet skis. We actually loved that we were a little south of the busier areas. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Karen M.
