Shallow Bay

We just loved our visit here. It worked perfectly for us. It’s just enough out of town that it’s quiet, but was still accessible to town by bike, which was perfect for us as we like quiet peace and a little exercise :-)! It really helped that. The properties on either side have not yet been developed and so you had a nice green barrier between the neighbors on either side

Super Private Paradise!

I stayed with my husband and toddler and it was amazing! The water off the dock was only about thigh/waist deep which was perfect for us, but did get deeper further out. We even got to see manatees! When the ocean was too rough we swam at jaguar reef (just spend $25 (usd) per adult and you can swim!) It was an easy drive to all the local places. Hopkins was friendly and laid back.

We loved it here. We are considering buying property now in the area.

Hopkins is beautiful and after staying at Shallow Bay, we too would like to own a little piece of paradise. The house is as advertised. The owners are very nice and helpful. The location is awesome. Lots of animals as well. We enjoyed watching them. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and hope to stay in touch with the owners if we do end up purchasing nearby next year.

Secluded natural beach, tropical fauna and flora, and much more are waiting.
