My extended family of 14 people (6 kids between the ages of 6-11) and 8 adults (ages 30’s-70’s) just stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The place was beautiful and clean. It had great outdoor and indoor seating areas. The beach was just a short walk away and was beautiful. There were great walking/biking paths all around the community and lots of shade! The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock too, but sadly no catches. We did get to see lot’s of deer and even an alligator one day. (In the water by a nearby bridge, not by our house.)
We didn’t utilize the other amenities much because of COVID but there were a lot available in the community, tennis, pickle ball, archery, were a few I saw. There was also a cute general store in Palmetto Dunes. Our men enjoyed the golf course too.
The only negative was that the pool was very small. Our 6 kids had fun playing in it but there was definitely not room for all of us to get in at the time comfortably. It was a little crowded even for them. We made a few times that were adult swim only so that helped. The hot tub was a nice option though and they did have this little shallow pad pool area that would be nice for a family with babies or toddlers. If you are looking for a big pool this is not a good choice though. It was fine for us as we spent a good amount of time at the beach, so our kids would play in it in the morning and evenings. We’d also tell them to go jump in after the beach while they waited their turn for the showers. There was a good amount of shade around the pool so that was really nice when we were watching the kids swim. Comfortable chairs around the pool too.
They had a great supply of beach stuff available, umbrella, wagon, beach chairs, boogie boards, noodles, lot’s of sand toys. The garage was a great place to store all our beach stuff each day. Some of us brought our own too but it was nice to have extra for those who didn’t.
The management was very responsive. We had issues with the hot water heater and they came out right away to adjust it. I recommend not running the hot tub while people are showering too.
The key pads for the door was great, no worry with keys! The kitchen was adequately stocked. Plenty of towels and linens. Lot’s of parking available. Overall it was a fantastic place! We had a wonderful week!
