Charlotte Comments Rent a golf cart at the marina, cruise around the island, visit the beaches, lighthouse and restaurants and Loose Caboose for some ice cream. Lovely weather. Need more parking spaces. Beautiful beach. Lifeguards would be nice. Beautiful and tranquil. The most relaxing vacations ever taken among the nicest people I've ever met. Nice clean water, great golfing, good restaurants. Everything is so close. Don’t have to drive far. Great food and lots to do. Good secret, great fishing, reasonable prices for rentals. Wonderful and hot. We want to package it up and take it home to England. Even if it rains there is still plenty to do. Relaxing old style Florida. It is dead during the off season! The area is beautiful but lacks cultural opportunities.
