Vacation
This was our first time trying the condo instead of staying at a hotel. Tara was fantastic for communication before and during our stay with any questions we had. That was nice comfort especially the way things are so automated today. Being on the 4th floor the view was absolutely amazing. The condo was clean and presenting itself nicely. The bar attached to the condo was great and everyone was friendly, and food was also very good. Has inside/outside bar area and entertainment on the Friday and Saturday. The pool area could use a re-facing and is heated but overall, it served its purpose. Beach access is great and miles to walk in either direction. The sand is grittier and not the real soft sand but still great to hang out and take a nice long walk. We rented a car and went to some really nice restaurants and went to downtown one day. Overall, the people/area are really nice on the island, and we would go back and stay again.

Just perfect
The building from the outside looks like an older hotel type structure. However, once you walk in you realize that you cant judge a book by its cover. The apt was just as described in the listing. It smelled clean, it was very clean. All the needed amenities were available. Coffee pot, utensils, cookware, glassware etc. My son and wife loved the touch of leaving a bowl full of chocolates. The onsite/adjacent restaurant bar provided the flexibility of grabbing a drink and food and heading back to the room. The small table in the balcony was perfect for morning coffee to watch the sunrise. Supermarket and food places within a few minutes drive. Beach was not kid friendly, the ocean was rough, not sure if it was the season or if the ocean is always like this at Jensen Beach. Drove to a small beach next to the Aquarium, it was perfect for the kid to enjoy the water, no waves at all. The pool was just perfect, not crowded (eventhough it was spring break for a lot of public school systems in Fl) The property owner/manager was very easy to talk to and deal with. Will for sure stay again.

Thank you Juan for your detailed review! It is a little gem that I am happy your family enjoyed:). The beach changes with the weather. Some days like a lake, other days like an angry ocean, and everywhere in between. I look forward to your return!

Catch A Wave
Tara’s condo has an incredible Ocean view. Seriously, they don't come any better. Her unit is clean, comfy and equipped with all the basics. Our 3 day stay happen to coincide – our luck – with a tropical storm. Inclement weather is typically a nuisance but with our ocean front row seats, it was awe inspiring and glorious to behold. Shucker’s Restaurant and Bar, located within the complex, is a BIG bonus. In addition to its traditional restaurant it features a unique on-the-beach bar that offers up “It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere” with your “Suntan Toes Ticklin the Sand” vibe that perfectly complements its beachfront setting. Strategically nestled between the picturesque towns of Stuart to the south, and Ft. Pierce to the north, the condo complex offers easy access to a diverse array of shopping, dining, and entertainment options in both locales - each with its own distinct charm. A brief drive will take you to the Hutchinson Shores hotel, where the Drift restaurant and bar offer a delightful dining and drinking experience. Tara's insightful recommendations for local activities were spot-on. Be sure to visit the Elliott Museum and the Dolphin Restaurant, both of which are local treasures. For those seeking live music, Crawdaddy's bar is another to add to your list.

Wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in paradise!!
We rented this Condo for a Thanksgiving holiday with family and had an amazing experience! Tara was so nice and immediately responded when messaged which made us feel welcomed and comfortable. The unit was exactly as advertised and even better. We checked in very late and it couldn’t have been easier. The gate to the private parking, building, and the unit are all electronic making it easy. Just inside the building door there were luggage carts to help you to get things to your unit. Even though the building is older it is very well maintained. Everything in the building, including the condo we stayed in, was meticulously clean and not once did we smell anything musty or moldy as you sometimes do in older buildings, especially at the beach. Each of the floors were charmingly and warmly decorated for the holidays, which made it feel extra special. Once we entered our unit, the photos don’t even capture how gorgeous it really is. The unit was beautifully and tastefully decorated with up to date modern finishes, furniture, and accessories. There are wall-to-wall sliding doors in both rooms with a breathtaking view of the ocean, lots of palm trees, and the pool below. It was also furnished with pretty much anything one would need. The balcony was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee while watching the spectacular sunrise! I could keep going on and on. We loved it so much and would definitely rent this condo again! We highly recommend renting this little slice of paradise!

Great Anniversary weekend !
This is an older property that is very well maintained. The unit was beautifully remodeled and the view was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay very much. On Sunday my husband was disappointed to realize he wasn't able to watch a local football game because although the comcast was plugged in you couldn't connect to cable. Luckily we were able to go to the adjoining restaurant to watch the game. The owners thought of most amenities you would require.

Beachfront family reunion
My family and I stayed in Tara’s condo on the beach for my family reunion. We stayed only 2 nights but wished it was longer. Her attention to detail was much appreciated. The condo was well kept, updated and clean. Everything we needed was there for us including kitchen ware, coffee, beach toys. She made check in very easy and had 2 keys waiting for us to the condo and for the resort grounds. We will be back.

28th Anniversary
Loved your place! We did get a lot of rain so we had to stay inside and talk to one another. That saved our marriage! Thank you! One suggestion. Get rid of the tile step at the bathroom door. My wife tripped over it 2 times and I did once. Luckily, no injuries but my wife had to drop her cup of water to catch the door jamb and prevent herself from falling over. After checking on her and seeing she was OK, I got to clean up the mess. But overall, 5 stars. Loved the unit and all it provided. Thank you!
