Surf's Up & Sun is Shinning!

We had a wonderful stay with our family including kids and a 2 1/2 yr old grandson. The property and unit were perfect for us to enjoy the expansive lanai, views, and sunset as well as play on the grass, in the pool and utilize the pickleball courts. Fabulous neighboring restaurants. We loved this unit and its many amenities to make our trip seamless & perfect!
