The property is in a beautiful location. The home overlooks Buttonwood Bay. Beautiful views. The nightly sunsets were spectacular.
There are many marine animals to see in the area. We saw dolphins, spiney lobsters, Horseshoe Crabs, nurse sharks, rays and manatees from the dock. Our son and his family visited. He and our granddaughter kayaked daily and saw a number of manatees on their outings.
We took many day excursions. Snorkeling trips, glass bottom boat, Theater of the Sea (would recommend this if you have kids with you), Eco boat trip to the Everglades, and Sombrero Beach (Marathon) to name a few. There are many charters for fishing, scuba or snorkeling.
The are many good restaurants, several within walking distance or kayaking distance. We ate seafood daily. There is a fresh fish market about a half mile away. We shopped there often and cooked or grilled. We had fresh Hogfish on the grill several times that was outstanding. Even our 18 mo. old grandson ate it.
There is a community pool about a half mile away. It has a lap pool and and splash pad for kids. There is a set of Pickle Ball courts in the same area that are busy from 7:00 am until noon daily.
The area and the home are designed more for adults than families. It is a busy area with lots of traffic on Hwy. 1, the only major road in the area. You can walk in the neighborhood or drive to the community pool and park area if you want to walk or run, but we would not recommend walking along the Hwy.
