The pictures of the view do not lie! You are literally as close to the beach as you can get. Just walk down the back steps and over the small dunes and you're there. I sat on the deck with my coffee every morning, watching the dolphins and pelicans feed and trawlers and sailboats sail past the perfect sunsets.
As a woman traveling alone with my dog, this place was perfect for me. There is only one entry/exit gate to the Island with a security gate. We went during the time of year when dogs are allowed off-leash and my girl had a BLAST meeting other dogs, running in the sand and dipping her toes in the mild surf.
The unit itself was clean and comfy. There wasn't anyone around, so I don't know how noisy it would be in the high season, but I could get work done. The Wi-Fi was pretty slow, and I wanted to watch Netflix, so this isn't the place to have a full working vacation. It's a nice place to get away, disconnect and enjoy the island, which is exactly what I needed!
Freshfields is only five minutes away and there are two farmer's markets on Betsy Kerrison Road on the way in with amazing local food (tomato and key lime pie, fresh pasta, local meat, etc.) and a FANTASTIC fried chicken joint called KinFolk within ten minutes from the property.
I spent most of my time walking on the beach with my dog collecting shells and sand dollars, going to the nearby spas, cooking, reading, and relaxing. If that's what you're looking for, then this place is great!
