We loved the 180 degree view of the bay from inside and from the outdoor porches. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. The kitchenware could use a refresh ( ex: matching coffee mugs, new and more ice trays or an icemaker) just because this is a nice place. We appreciated the parking garage but it was very confusing to know where to park, how to get around in it, etc. It took a couple of days but we figured it out. I do suggest that you find a way to make it easier to navigate all the access codes, QR code, etc. Fumbling around for those was frustrating. You really need an app that includes them. Finally I put a picture on my phone lock screen that included the QR and door access codes. The community was lovely but a bit far from everything, and we did not like the resort's beach. It was too narrow, not flat and too fluffy for taking a good walk. We enjoyed the dolphin cruise and the marina, and driving and shopping on 30A. We had a nice getaway and enjoyed our week and our Bay Time condo.

Nice Resort
Excellent property to visit. Dinner places within property with beautiful Bay Area and golf courses. Family friendly resort was well maintained. Would definitely stay there again! Felt safe allowing my teenage kids some time to get out and walk around the village without worrying about their safety!
