Our experience was wonderful from start to finish. Ruth and John are superb hosts--they communicated promptly, responded quickly to a few minor issues, and were thoughtful enough to welcome us with fresh flowers, a bottle of wine, a bag of coffee, and a couple of seltzers in the fridge. And their condo was just delightful. Because it's an end unit, it feels very private and quiet, the living area is filled with light, and the views are indeed spectacular. We found the interior nicer than we expected too (the pictures online when we booked didn't do justice to the place, but they're accurate now). Everything was freshly painted and very clean. The furnishings are all extremely comfortable, and the decor is very attractive. There are nice linens and towels, sizable closets, and ample storage space. The kitchen isn't high-end but it's well-equipped (though a blender, box grater, and pie plate would be nice additions). We were also grateful to be able to get Netflix, HBO, and Amazon Prime on the TV and to have fast internet. With two desks--with monitors!--we were well set up to work. It took real discipline to do so, though, since the sound of the surf and the expansive views kept luring us outside. We loved relaxing on the wrap-around balcony, being out on the beach, swimming laps in the pool, and playing tennis. We also followed John and Ruth's tips and enjoyed biking and walking the trails in some of the nearby state parks, strolling around the Fort Pierce waterfront, taking in the Saturday farmers/crafts market, visiting the Navy SEAL museum and the Backus art museum, and trying some of the local restaurants. We can't wait to return!
