Our stay was amazing! We saved so much money buying groceries on the first day, we had breakfast and lunch in the fully equipped kitchen, plus cooked a couple evening meals as well.The walk to the beach was about 8 minutes with little ones and it was so convenient to have a wagon, beach towels, umbrella, chairs, and plenty of sand toys. Once on the beach we could go to the private part in front of Sunset Bar and Grill with the lanyard provided.The food there was SPECTACULAR with a free sunset shot handed out, live music, & refillable adult/child souvenir cups. We'd setup on the beach, hit the bar to refill our adult Fishbowl drinks and the kids shark cups, sip under the umbrella, toes in the sand, and sink into relaxation!A mention about the beach its in a gulf so the water is more mucky than the ocean with some seaweed drifting in, but the waves were gentler for our little ones & there were plenty of seashells to be found.The nearest well reviewed ocean beach is about 45 minutes away. The week we stayed was under extreme uv exposure so it was difficult to balance beach time. It was most comfortable after 5:30pm til sunset, so visiting the Bahia Beach at the VRBO was perfect!My girls loved the 2nd bedroom with all the bunk bed options with their own bathroom, & I briefly saw a dolphin in the canal from the master bedroom! The master bedroom has an uncovered window up high so I might suggest a sleep mask if youre a late sleeper. Such an amazing stay, thank you!!!
