We're checking in on Dec 26 as renters. How close is the nearest grocery store? We considered A/I briefly but it is a huge increase in the trip cost. It's considerably more than the rent alone. We can eat and drink a lot on our own for $5500.

Thanks for the info.

There is a Walmart that is about a mile away. Costco is about 2 miles away. Mega is about 4 miles away. I like Mega for food but we go to Costco for wine and hotdogs.

There is also a mini market at the VDP called the Palmita. It does have most things you might need and there is a deli and ice cream shop here too.
