We just got back from a family vacation in North Redington Beach, Florida. My wife found this hidden gem (although not so hidden - it's in a fantastic location!) and we couldn't be any happier.
From the time we arrived, to the time we left, we were taken care of by Margaret and Peter. We were greeted by Margaret, and then taken over to our own bungalow for a tour and explanation. Afterwards, either Margaret or Peter were always available to field any questions, from places to see, restaurants to eat at, or kid friendly activities. They are very knowledgeable!
Each morning we got an amazing breakfast. I can't even begin to desribe how delicious and nutritious these meals were. Fresh fruit and homemade pastries/goodies were always a part of each morning. Margaret then had a different yummy treat from creme brulee french toast to peach and raspberry puff pancakes. These breakfasts were the perfect start to each day's activities.
The property consists of multiple bungalows, so each family/guest has their own private home. This is unlike any other bed and breakfast I've come across where you are a guest in the owners home. The privacy and space was fantastic. We stayed in the Beach House which is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom bungalow. There is a full service kitchen for people who stay the week or more, plus an eating area and a living room. There is also a garage to park your vehicle in. The bed was comfortable, and the decor was right on with what you would expect in a "beach house". You can tell that a lot of thought and effort was put in to make the experience as authentic as possible. We also had our own private backyard with hammock, and sitting area. Each house also has a screened in porch, which I loved sitting in just enjoying taking in the scenery.
There is also a pool that is clean and kept at a very comfortable temperature. All towels are provided (including beach towels and bathroom towels) so you don't need to bring any from home! The beach is only a 5 to 10 minute walk. There are also several restaurants within walking distance, and even more within a close drive.
I would highly recommend this to couples or to families with children looking for an alternative to the hotel chain or condo renting options.
