I finally bought another house; a newer house, a bigger house. Blue Pearl is newer (2016 vs 1970), Hardiplank instead of wood, 2 baths instead of one, central heat and air. It is bright, open, lots of outdoor spaces with both sun and shade.
I picked this location because I don't have to get in car to go to beach. I don't have to cross the highway to get to it. And best of all, it is a no-cars beach, so my grandson can run around and I don't have to keep looking for cars.
The beach is nice too. It doesn't get packed in the summer like nearby Jamaica Beach, or the beaches along the seawall.
