General Overview
We are looking for Globes or exchanges in Europe. This condo is on the east coast of Florida called the Treasure Coast. It is located on South Hutchinson Islands in a gated Beach Front Community called Ocean Village. This is a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo. Located on the second floor with an elevator. You can take a 2 minute walk and be on the sandy beach. Where you can enjoy surf fishing, shelling and of course swimming. The community has 4 pools, 9 tennis courts along with basket ball, shuffle board and bocce ball. there is a tiki bar near the biggest pool. Additionally The Island Beach Bar and Restaurant overlooks the beach. You will need a car but there are bike rentals and scooters available to rent locally. We are smack in the middle of the treasured coast, and there are plenty of places to snorkel, or dive for treasure. We are directly next to the sailfish capital of the world. The area has wonderful museums, world class fishing and great golf onsite as well as nearby. We are 90 minutes to the Disney area. There is so much to do and nothing to do if you prefer. You can horseback ride on the beach or just relax. There is an area to BBQ, overlooking the fountains in one of the ponds. You can't beat the Beautiful sunrises, and sunsets.
The Space
The total sq feet of the condo is 1168, with added space for a lanai, ( covered porch) you will get a beautiful view of the 8th fairway of the on a pristine well manicured golf course. We are about 300 yards to the ocean. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other a king bed. There is a jacuzzi (deep soaking) tub in the main bath and a seated shower in the other. We have a full equipped kitchen with pots, and pans, a stove with oven a microwave, dishwasher, blender dishes, and more. We provide all linens as well as beach blanket and beach towels. For your convenience. We have a full size washer and dryer in the unit. Along with hairdryer, iron and beach toys, chairs and coolers.
Guest Access
A gated private community right on the beach. Our building is a 3 story building and we are on the second floor with an elevator. You will need to provide ID to enter the gate. I have a digital lock, that I will give you a code to enter. You can change the code if desired.
Notes
This is a second home and generally free of allergens. Guest have to request a pet and be approved. Although I cannot guarantee that no cats have been in the condo. We use it for rentals in our peak season so generally not available in winter. Although in some case a guest can bring a pet if they are renting for 30 days or more. It is thoroughly cleaned after all guest and extra cleaning done after a pet visit's. There is tile or vinyl floors through out. There are plantation shutters on the windows with screens. Giving you privacy. And keeping the hot sun out.

Everything was spot-on in Linda's place in Fort Pierse. Fantastic big condo with everything one could need. The balcony looks out onto the 8th. fairway of the immaculately maintained golf course which we made great use of. Choice of pools on the complex and 300 yards from the beach. Can go wrong! Love it!
Thank You Larry, I glad you had a wonderful time. Playing golf and going to the beach. We love our quiet price of paradise and love sharing it with others. I am happy that you found everything as described. I can't wait to go to your Portugal home on the Rio Formosa.. Thank you again, for being so easy to work with.
Linda and Pete
Linda’s place in Fort Pierce had everything we needed to have a great time. The condo was spacious, clean, and everything was in fine working order. It was a nice setup for my husband who is a bit disabled. Most mornings, we enjoyed coffee on the patio while we watched cheerful golfers pass by. The 55+ community is very secure and the guards were friendly and helpful, including when we first checked in. The entire community is beautifully maintained, including multiple swimming pools, a new fitness center, and walkways across natural dunes to the beach. Many mornings, I walked to the beach to watch the sun rise out of the Atlantic, with a different show each day. (Fort Pierce calls itself the Sunrise City, with good reason.) During our month there, we went to minor league baseball games, a local oyster festival, craft fairs and farmers markets with great fruits and veggies. We went to Cape Canaveral to meet astronauts and watch rocket launches -- and several launches were visible from the beach near the condo. We dined at an elegant restaurant for our anniversary, walked on beautiful beaches and nature trails, and ran into some friends from our old sailing days aboard Pioneer. Our hosts were great communicators and we look forward to meeting Linda and Peter in Montana this summer!
Rebecca and Don, it was a pleasure to stay in your home as well. I am happy that the condo in Florida fit your needs. Our community is an active adult community that is very family friendly when schools are close. Looks like you had a lot of fun and enjoyed all the things we enjoy while there. I hope the welcome guide helped you find fun things to do in the area. I am actually going to add a link in our bio on what to do. Thanks again Linda and Pete
Linda was a super guest. Very clean and respectful of my place and she even bought a few utensils for the kitchen. Have no hesitation in doing an exchange with Linda.
Linda was a great guest in our home and treated our house as her own. They left it clean and took good care of everything. They're a delightful couple and we'd welcome them here in Montana any time. They were wonderful guests, and it was a pleasure complete this exchange.
We absolutely loved your home, it is so comfortable just like home. The Red Lodge area is also beautiful. Close to the Yellowstone entrance and the beautiful Grand Tetons about 3 hours away. We enjoyed the Red Lodge Ski area in the spring it's still fun. The local farm markets and great restaurants and hiking trails are great.
Hope to come again some day

Larry's home is perfectly located in Cabanas de Tavira. The condo unit is very easy to get to and is neat and clean. The pool is lovely and the beach is an easy, free boat ride. If you want to rent chairs you can for a fee of 25€ There is also nightly entertainment for a low cost. There is an outside patio, with chairs and a table to enjoy the weather or eat outside. The bed is very comfortable and Larry was easy to contact and even offer to pay when one of the fry pans broke. There is so much to see and do within a one hour drive. Salt Pans, Mud Bath, Cork Factory, Olive Factory and wine tasting. The Benagil Cave tour we took we the highlight of our trip. Wine is cheap and good, Coffee is the best I have ever had. You won't be disappointed if you stay at Larry's home. We loved the Algarve area and will return someday.

This exchange was the first in my primary home, I was concern that they would not like it as much as we do. Claire left me a beautiful note along with English tea and fudge. I gave her a few drawers and as much space in our draws as possible. Leaving 2 draws empty in each room. I probably forgot a few things but having Claire and her family was wonderful. She cleaned everything up everything very nicely . We connect via "WhatsApp" so we were both on top of communication. I can't wait to go to her house, I am sure it will be as lovely as she is.
Linda
Larry and family, was a pleasure to have. We communicated before and during his stay. He was a perfect guest. He left the home near and clean. I am so happy he enjoyed his stay at the beach condo. Although I have only done 3 exchanges. In have fallen in love with Home exchange. And can't wait to go to Larry Portugal condo near Faro
Linda
We loved staying at Rebecca's and Don's home. The home was clean and comfortable. She left us a few drawers for our clothes, and there was plenty of room in the refrigerator. The Bed was so very comfortable, It was very high so the step she provided helped alot. Everything worked perfectly, after a little trouble with the dishwasher which was handled right away. We use the house as home base while we took our RV to Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Tetons. Becky connected us with a local Storage place to store our RV and they were very accommodating. The entrance to Yellowstone is about 90 min away, when towing, and to get through the over 2 Million acres and see what we wanted to see we decided it was best to stay in the parks, for a few days. The town of Red Lodge is very quaint, and Cody Wy is about 45 min away. We saw so many great things a gun shoot out, a Rodeo, Buffalo Bill's Museum, So many Bison, Elks, and even two Moose. We went into West Yellowstone, and went in a Natural Hot Spring, The whole trip was wonderful, and we would love to go back some day. You can tell that Rebbeca and Don are experienced Exchangers, nothing was left out. Lots of books to read about the area, and so many things to do.
We hosted Rebecca and Don for approx a month in April 2024. We kept in touch occasionally while the date got closer. We wanted to meet them in person but unfortunately our plans got interrupted and we could not meet in person. We hope to meet them when we stay at their Montana home in Aug. we stayed in touch sharing information on the region and things to do over text. They left the home in very good and clean condition. It was a pleasure to host them. This was our first exchange and it went perfect.
"To be combined with a NW trip with Washington state or Montana."
