It is an independent resort that we bought in the early 80s. It is a two-week Interval and we really like it. One week is just too short to fly to Hawaii, IMO.

Emmy, Maui Sunset is a beautiful property, and now you stay four weeks on Maui, which makes for an amazing trip!

Not nearly as pretty as some of the others but I love the view from our living room at The Beach Club at St Augustine Beach. This is from U-211 but we prefer 311 or 411 to see above the dunes better.

This looks beautiful to me. It's natural and unspoiled. :)

Does it have a nice beach for walking and swimming?

We would buy more weeks here if they were fixed/week units but they are not. :bawl:

Yes there is a nice wide beach for walking, unfortunately cars are also allowed on this section of St Augustine Beach (they are hidden behind the dunes in the photo). There are markers on the beach to separate the driving lane from the pedestrian areas. We walk for miles in both directions daily!

The water is good for swimming although the Atlantic can be pretty wavy. There is no sudden drop off. I have not been in past my knees since DH & a buddy caught several baby sharks while fishing from shore many years ago! :eek: I figure if there are babies then there are mommies & daddies!

Long and wide beaches are so nice for walking. They are disappearing fast on the Hawaiian Islands because of constant erosion.

There are a lot more shark sightings and bites in our area (Southern California) and in Maui too.

The ocean is their territory so we have to be careful. They track them in Maui and they use a drone in Seal Beach to spot them or put a warning sign on the beach (Huntington Beach) so enter at your own risk.

Hi Greg, I was able to see your pictures by right-clicking the mouse and and open up the image each time in a new window.

I love the idea that there are resorts now that allow the family pet to come with you on vacation. Your dog is enjoying the beautiful scenery too. :)

To see rain in California is a treat today so long it doesn't last your whole vacation and certainly when you come from out of State.

Greg - I use photobucket and it's free and easy. Haven't tried the others, so not sure why it isn't working - sorry.
