Grocery

Walking distance from house. Pro tip if you don’t have a car: arrange a Walmart grocery order delivery for the day of arrival, then just use Publix for things you may have forgotten throughout the stay so you don’t have to go off-island.

Traveler advice

Getting around

Using the trolley

Awesome way to get around. Stops for the trolley are indicated by the blue and white ‘Trollee’ signs on San Carlos Blvd. and Estero Blvd (one located right at the end of our street on Estero Blvd). This will run the entirety of the island, and all the way to Walmart if you don’t have a car. $0.75/ride, $2/daily pass, $4/3-day pass.
What to pack

Beach supplies

Beach caddy for guests provided and includes 4 beach chairs, beach blanket and umbrella. Please wash sand off with hose after returning from beach
