My family and I stayed at White Sands in August 2008 and had the perfect vacation. Every morning we sat on the balcony and ate breakfast and enjoyed the amazing scenerary. After breakfast we walked a mere 75 feet to the beach and enjoyed great snorkeling. The water is very calm, warm, and offers many opportunities. No current. My 6 year old daugter had the time of her life. We saw octupus, eagle rays and sting rays, and a variety of juvenils very close to the beach. Only 1 time during the entire week did we see anyone on our same strectch of beach. At the end of the day, we enjoyed the sunset while sipping cocktails and barbequing seafood for the adults and hotdogs for the kids on the open BBQ pits. The condo is well appointed and very clean. There is a collection of beach toys for the kids and a hamock to relax on under the palms. Excellent collection of books if you prefer to kick back and read. Not possible with a 6 year old that became completely enthralled with the underwater world in the back yard. Don't waste time researching other condos. There may not be a lot of reveiws here, but, they are all very good and accurate. The place is great, has everything you need, and is quiet. As close to a private beach as you will find on 7 mile. There are a number of residents that live here full time as well. They are extremely friendly and take tremendous pride in their slice of paradise. It shows from the very clean beach. We have already booked our return for this summer and my daughter has already detailed how every minute will be spent. Enjoy!
