Great facility and care factor 120%
A friend of ours decided to move there, the units are big enough for one or two people, it truly is a lovely place, rental is reasonable. If you’re over 65 yrs old, you can enquire about a unit, you might be lucky enough to get a unit, or put yourself on a list. This place is for the elderly, self sufficient most of the time, can grow plants there, it’s opposite the ocean. I think there is a bus service nearby but not sure. Anyway if you’re looking for a place to retire, then I do recommend Ocean Star Village.
