Reviews are solely my opinion from my experience over the 40 years of dining out. As you know, everyday is different, moods and experiences are personal and that’s what makes them fun.

Ratings are based on a learning curve taking my top favorite places. I am recommending all of the above. The list is not all inclusive… so, if you are wanting more variety.. goggle is our friend.

View: relates to outside, and not to be confused with inside ambulance.
No star, no view to speak of outside

Five star best view of outside
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food Taste & Service

Ambulance inside appeal
🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯

How do you choose?
Is view more important?
Then go for the most ⭐️’s.
The food at all is good.

Suggestion, first day in:
Nona Blue High Top or sit at outside bar facing road. Afterwards, shop at Publix, arrive at condo ready to relax.
You are seven minutes from condo.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Grocery stores and Target close. Bed and sheets were extremely comfortable. Beach was not crowded, quiet and relaxing. The beach access was just as close as it looks in pictures. The sunrise from the living room and sunroom was spectacular every day. Host checked in to make sure all was acceptable when we arrived and when she heard the condos had had some water pressure issues even though we did not experience any issues with water pressure. Look forward to staying at this property again.

A Healing Oasis by the Beach – Perfect for Mayo Clinic Visitors

We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The property was incredibly well-stocked and comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. The porch quickly became our favorite spot—we spent every evening there watching the sun set over the ocean. It was the kind of peace and beauty you don’t realize you need until you have it.The private beach was absolutely pristine—quiet, clean, and calming. It was a true retreat.We were in town for appointments at the Mayo Clinic, and while the Clinic spoke to my physical health, coming “home” to this property each day was what my soul needed. It gave me space to rest, reflect, and truly feel at ease during a challenging time.The location is also incredibly convenient to the Mayo Clinic, making it an ideal choice for out-of-town patients looking for somewhere serene and off-campus to stay. I plan to book this property again for future visits—it was everything I hoped for and more.Sincere thank you to the host for providing an amazing space, excellent communication and having literally everything we needed.
