    I’ve only been here for 2 weeks and I absolutely LOVE IT !!! I wish I would have moved sooner. They thought of everything when they built this… the Staff is Amazing, always available to help and with a Smile. You can walk everywhere and the Farmers market is across the street. I was fortunate enough to have a water view. I am so relaxed, no stress, simple life and all the amenities you could ever hope for are right out your door. As I mentioned above, I feel like I am living in a 5 star resort !!!! I am headed to the Sky Terrace for an Easter Egg hunt they are having for the grandchildren.. what’s not to Love about this beautiful resort that I get to call “Home”.
