We stayed in this condo in November as a ladies getaway and at it was a great spot for a fantastic vacation. There was plenty of room in the condo for 5 of us and it was spotlessly clean and had many recent updates. The condo's well-stocked kitchen allowed us to take turns with meal prep while the rest of the group enjoyed sunset cocktails from the balcony. There was plenty to do on-site. The beach was great for long walks or runs, a game of volleyball, or just relaxing -- the sand is amazing! The pool was nice and refreshing with plenty of lounge chairs as well. The area provides lots of dining options -- from high-end gourmet to relaxed casual dining -- all was delicious. We found great shopping deals at nearby outlets (with special perks for Canadians) and one-of-a-kind items nearby at Johns Pass. A highlight of the trip was the visit to Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island where we kayaked to quiet natural white sand beaches and paddled through mangrove trails.
All of our group are moms and we all thought this condo would be great for a family get-away. First the condo has a stash of beach toys and chairs which would be great for little ones or older kids. The washer and dryer would make clean-up quick and easy and allow you to pack lightly. The pool is perfect for little ones. The steps into the pool are very large -- each is more like a landing and provides play area. The pool would be entertaining for older kids too as it does get deeper, I think to about 6' depth. The location also puts you close to lots of family friendly activities -- manatee tours, dolphin viewing, pirate ship tours. In case of rain, the condo provides for lots of indoor options with TVs in each bedroom as well as in the living room.
Several of us are looking into returning to this condo with our families and also hoping to repeat our girl's getaway.
