Reviews are solely my opinion from my experience over the 40 years of dining out. As you know, everyday is different, moods and experiences are personal and that’s what makes them fun.

Ratings are based on a learning curve taking my top favorite places. I am recommending all of the above. The list is not all inclusive… so, if you are wanting more variety.. goggle is our friend.

View: relates to outside, and not to be confused with inside ambulance.
No star, no view to speak of outside

Five star best view of outside
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food Taste & Service


Ambulance inside appeal


How do you choose
Is view more important
Then go for the most ⭐️’s.
The food at all is good.

Suggestion, first day in:
Nona Blue High Top or sit at outside bar facing road. Afterwards, shop at Publix, arrive at condo ready to relax.
You are seven minutes from condo.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Grocery stores and Target close. Bed and sheets were extremely comfortable. Beach was not crowded, quiet and relaxing. The beach access was just as close as it looks in pictures. The sunrise from the living room and sunroom was spectacular every day. Host checked in to make sure all was acceptable when we arrived and when she heard the condos had had some water pressure issues even though we did not experience any issues with water pressure. Look forward to staying at this property again.

    We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The property was incredibly well-stocked and comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. The porch quickly became our favorite spot—we spent every evening there watching the sun set over the ocean. It was the kind of peace and beauty you don’t realize you need until you have it.The private beach was absolutely pristine—quiet, clean, and calming. It was a true retreat.We were in town for appointments at the Mayo Clinic, and while the Clinic spoke to my physical health, coming “home” to this property each day was what my soul needed. It gave me space to rest, reflect, and truly feel at ease during a challenging time.The location is also incredibly convenient to the Mayo Clinic, making it an ideal choice for out-of-town patients looking for somewhere serene and off-campus to stay. I plan to book this property again for future visits—it was everything I hoped for and more.Sincere thank you to the host for providing an amazing space, excellent communication and having literally everything we needed.

    This place is absolutely wonderful. The beautiful view and ability to walk straight out to the beach is just one of the reason I would want to stay here whenever I am in the area. The apartment is extremely clean, has beautiful decor, and is very quiet, not to mention one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in. Donna is the ultimate hostess, making sure your stay is worry free. The multiple amenities and extras Donna provides eliminates those frequent trips to the store to get those small things needed when traveling. We hope to visit again soon!

A quiet neighborhood, right on the ocean, great amenities in the Condo, as I said, as advertised and more.. Already thinking about when I can go back.
