  • Aerica B.
    "There are always friendly neighbors walking their dogs. It’s honestly a good way to meet your neighbors and get to know them. I love how everyone is so dog friendly. Everyone is always great about cleaning up after their dogs too and not letting them run around loose and get into other people’s yard. Everyone respects each other and I love it!"

    "This is a very quiet and friendly neighborhood. It’s so close to the beach you can hear the waves. The deeded beach access allows you to leave your beach chairs on the private path, ready! so your day at the beach is a breeze. There are rarely more than 5 other people on the beach. It’s like owning on the gulf at a fraction of the cost. "
