Let me tell you the multiple ways that this condo is the best:
1. It is an end unit on the first floor.
2. I never once could hear anyone through the walls other than an occasional footstep upstairs.
3. It is clean and functional in every way that matters with all modern amenities
4. The condo complex itself has the most visually stunning grounds/courtyards that i have ever seen. Prime photo ops without even leaving the condo grounds! No other surrounding ones looked as nice as this place
5. Two window ac units and ceiling fans to match to get the whole place cool and crispy in no time if needed.
6. The most comfortable bed that you can imagine. It was like climbing into a cloud every night
7. The pool and hot tub are pristine. There is a shower, clock, and a small library of books for reading while you sun.
8. There is a nice indian restaurant directly across the street (Monsoon India) and also a fishery/whale sanctuary with a lava rock wall enclosing a small beach/swimming area that is only about waist high and nearly wave free. Lots of fish and crabs to see there and practice snorkeling if you are a newbie.
9. The condo complex was dead quiet most of the time. You could enjoy the sounds of the wind swaying the trees and various creatures because of this unit being so far from the main road noise
10. The owner, Kelli, is a very nice personable lady to communicate with and the decor of the condo is really nice
Other things to mention to help others see if this place is for them:
1. The nearest shopping, food, and rentals can be reached by walking down the main road about a mile but you might not want to do it in the hours of 11-2 due to strong heat and very little shade on the walk. A bicycle, uber, car or moped rental are your other options if you aren’t into walking. It can get overwhelming very quickly if you aren’t used to humidity of this kind.
2. If you want to be where there are lots of people all the time, this isn’t that condo. You’ll want to be a few miles further south near the kam beaches and what the locals call the Triangle. That’s where all of the touristy shops/bars/ etc. are. We just drove there when we wanted to and enjoyed coming back to our quiet condo at the end of our daily adventures. It’s about a 12$ uber ride to get to those shops/beaches from the condo.
