Beautiful views, great snorkelling.
My family of 5 (including 3 children under 12) enjoyed our stay in unit #22 at the retreat at rum point. The unit is on the third floor so ability to climb stairs is important but the views from the screened in porch are absolutely beautiful. My children enjoyed the pool everyday. My older boys did the drift snorkel with their Dad out front and saw turtles, nurse sharks, healthy coral and many fish. A walk down the beach a few properties past the new resort beside the retreat made a good entry point and the drift took them to directly out front our property. There is a rock wall to the right of Rum Point in the shallow bay that provided great beginner snorkelling. We even saw lionfish and squirrel fish.
The sunsets are spectacular from the beach!
The condo had plenty of space for the five of us. The kitchen was well stocked and the dishwasher as well as laundry facilities were great to have. There was a large supply of snorkelling equipment, including masks and fins for adults and kids.
We rented a car and drove all over! My kids were able to snorkel Eden Rock, see turtles at Spotts Beach and swim with many fish at Smith's Cove. We played in the crystal clear water at Governer's Beach (great parking lot). We also spent a few hours at Camana Bay (climb the lookout tower and look at the amazing mosaic artwork on the walls). We did spend a few hours at the Turtle Farm. My five year old loved the waterside!
We enjoyed dinner at Over the Edge and lunch at Kaibo Beach bar. We went to Eagle Ray's for lionfish tacos (east end) and Tukka. My kids liked watching the Blowholes on the east end. Rum point was still closed (covid) but we enjoyed the seclusion!
Chisolm's was a great little grocery store (and the only one open Sundays).
I would highly recommend this condo and my family hope to return one day. Thank you for allowing us to use your space for a very memorable and much needed holiday. A week is never long enough!
