Summary: Great location. Easy to south, east and west coast activities. I appreciated the host checking on us via text during the stay. Despite my best tech efforts and ability to read, I couldn’t figure out the satellite TV. So I enjoyed sitting on the upper deck listening to the ocean and watching the 10 to 15 turtles swimming and soaking in the sun.
