Either location is also great for running.

Fish on the beach, from the pier, catch a head boat, charter a boat, or launch your own at a public launch. There are many water sports to enjoy.

• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance.

Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
