So many things to do, places to eat, etc. The first week in December all the decorations will be up for Xmas. They're already up and playing Xmas music when we go at Thanksgiving. The pool is heated, and there are resort activities. Although there's only the CS at the resort for eating at the resort, there are plenty of places nearby to eat. I encourage you to go into the Mercantile and ask Gordon, who's a chef, for recommendations (actually ask any CM-they're all super nice and helpful). We love Sea Shack (VERY casual), Black Marlin, Skull Creek Boathouse, Salty Dog, and Kenny B's. Actually, so many great resturaunts-always so little time.
