Whitesands Retreat | Gulf Views, Pools | Activity Access Included

Summary:

With oceanfront views and amenities such as these, you’re going to wish you could stay at Whitesands Retreat forever!



The Space:

While that may not be possible, you will certainly be able to take full advantage of this incredible destination for the time you are here. Located on the 19th floor in the high-rise community of Laketown Wharf Resort, panoramic views of the beach and ocean are only the beginning. Get your swim on in one of 5 outdoor pools or pull up a poolside chaise lounge and catch up on your reading as you soak up the sun. Take a stroll down to and along the beach or on the boardwalk, taking in the breathtaking natural scenery. A fully equipped fitness center is on site when you want to get the blood pumping or strike up some friendly competition on the putting green. You won’t have to go far for dining, as 2 seasonal restaurants are on hand to serve up delicious meals for dining in or on the go. If you do plan to venture out beyond the resort, you’ll have your choice of dining, shopping, and entertainment in virtually any direction, walking or driving.



Indoors, your coastal immersion continues amid the calming, neutral toned furnishings and décor. Find your peace in the living room seated in plush sofas as you stream episodes of your favorite show on the smart TV. Seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living together by opening the sliding doors to allow the breeze to flow freely throughout the home. The modern and stylish kitchen is fully equipped for all of your mealtime endeavors, with stainless steel appliances, glossy countertops, and ample cabinetry stocked with cookware and dining ware. The island can serve as a setting for dining while perched on high-top barstools or as a placeholder for a delicious spread of afternoon hors d’oeuvres. A café table for 2 is the perfect venue for your morning coffee, or you can head back out onto the balcony to relax in comfort as the sun rises on another perfect day.

Laketown Wharf stay

We had an amazing stay at Lake town wharf. Our unit was beautiful just as the pictures showed. Equipped well but the best part was communication with the host was amazing. We had little to no issues, but the minor things we messaged them on they were very responsive and took care of everything. We would definitely go back there to that same unit! We did have a bit of confusion at the check-in. We had prepaid all our passes, but still had to stand in a line to get our information with people that had not prepaid. We also did not get the code to our door or the beach access code unless I just missed it in one of the many emails. It would’ve been nice to have a paper with all that information in my packet when I picked up my wristbands and parking passes other than that we had an amazing time. again.
