We visited the one area we have missed so far and that is the Sandy Beach area where all the high-rise hotels and hi-end condos are located. We stayed there years ago on a vacation we took between Christmas and New Year. This year, we wanted to stay closer to town. At any rate, we stopped at the Las Palomas where two new buildings are under construction to compliment/supplement the existing three buildings.
The new condos are being handled by a Realty Executive couple that live in Peoria, AZ, and have two condos here - one to stay in while here, and the other used exclusively as a rental. Nice couple. The girl (Kathy Witt) wanted to show us a couple condos that were resales. One was a two bedroom, 1800 SF and the asking price was $345K. The other was a one bedroom 1140 SF that was selling for $270K and she couldn't get the key to work, so we passed on that. The two story was on the 9th floor, ocean view and pool view and was very nice. The deal is that people buy these and have a positive cash flow from the rental of the unit so that it pays for itself. Great concept. We are not in the market but wanted to see them anyway. No pictures.
Our afternoon was spent at Manny's next door on the beach. We had a rather light lunch - Josie had shrimp cocktail, I had a Cobb Salad - and we each had margaritas. Here are the shots from our afternoon at Manny's:
We were early enough that we missed the crowd. That also meant we missed the music, but we enjoyed the lazy afternoon.
Two more days and our vacation winds down. We plan to just take it easy, lay out on the patio and by the pool and go nowhere for the last two days. We brought our own music, books and projects to keep us busy.
Until tomorrow....
