Fabulous week away!

Crystal Cove was a wonderful get away for our family of four. The beach was beautiful; everything we dreamed it would be. We had snorkel gear at the condo but just a few steps away we could rent paddle boards, windsurfers, kayaks, etc...perfect. The condo was very very nice, clean, updated, and had everything we needed and the location was really terrific.
The salt water pool is lovely, clean, refreshing, and greatly appreciated, as is the tennis court.
My kids learned how to play shuffleboard, another fun and relaxing activity, and for those who can't relax on the beach all day, there's a lot to do, but yet it's quiet and peaceful.
We enjoyed Captain Rick's day trip to St. John on his beautiful sailboat, Nightwind, located at Sapphire Marina. He sailed us around the waters and then snorkeled Hawk's Nest Bay and Cinnamon Bay with breakfast, lunch, desert and any flavor drink we requested, and then leisurely sailed back "home".
We enjoyed Duffy's Love Shack for some fun with our college age kids, dinner at Bamboozille (spelling?), and a few other restaurants which were all friendly and fun. We did not get good shrimp at Fish Tails, our only disappointment (besides the high prices which is unavoidable as far as we knew).
Keep in mind that food prices are quite high and that even the grocery store is not inexpensive, to say the least. There's a grill to use at the condo which makes the eat-ins fun nights and walks along the beach at night very memorable.
Sunshine, warm ocean water, a lovely breeze, and a completely relaxing week made this trip a wonderful vacation for our family.
Bring a few great books and your in for a wonderful week.
