Our family had a wonderful time at Gardens of the Kai. The pictures are spot on. You are literally steps from the beach. The house was super clean and very comfortable. The furniture was comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. My youngest daughter and I were up early every morning enjoying the screen porch. We loved sitting in the loungers out there with a book. My husband and other daughter enjoyed the A/C . Starfish point is just a bike ride away, but there were just as many starfish right in front of our house. We also went to rum point a couple of times. It’s very close. Seven mile beach is about an hour away and we went twice during our stay. There are no beach chairs or snorkels available for you take to other beaches. We packed an extra suitcase with beach supplies. Found some chairs and umbrellas that fit in a suitcase on Amazon. They have a double kayak, a single kayak and two paddle boards there for you to use. I was so excited that we would be able to kayak on our own to bio bay. It’s not far at all. There were a lot of boats and other kayakers going into the bay on our last night, but if you stay close to the shore and bring a flashlight to let boats know where you are, you’ll be fine. Also, going to stingray city is a must! We went with white sands which is just across the street at Kaibo. Lastly, we made sure to be back for the sunset every night. It was spectacular. The kitchen is well stocked! I brought my own seasonings but they have plenty.
