We are located 2 miles south of the northern tip of South Hutchinson Island.

We have a recently remodeled, ground floor 1BR villa in the 300 building of the Ocean Villas I cluster with a view of the golf course. It features a queen-sized bed in the bedroom and a queen-sized sofa sleeper in the living room that is fully furnished.  It is centrally located within the resort and is a short 200 yard walk from a beautiful beach. To see a general floorplan of what our unit looks like click here.

Amenities: Completely furnished, linens and towels provided, fully equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with icemaker, central A/C, washer & dryer, ceiling fans in living room and bedroom, 2 Color TV's (with cable) and a VCR. Screened Patio.

The resort features 3 swimming pools (heated in winter), 10 tennis courts, 1 racquetball/squash court, 2 paddleball courts, a 6-hole miniature golf course and a 9-hole, par-27 executive golf course (longest hole 175 yards - shortest hole 70 yards) which is free in the Off-Season and has a $3 green fee from about Dec 20 thru a week after Easter. The resort also has its own 4-Star restaurant, The Inn at Ocean Village which is located next to the largest of the 3 swimming pools. For our list of recommended local restaurants click here. Also featured next to the pool is a pool-side Tiki Bar which is open for food and drinks about 4 or 5 days a week depending on the weather, a "kiddie pool" for small children, a hot-tub, a Bocce court, and an exercise room with sauna and shower facilities.

Activities: Ocean Village is a fabulous place to enjoy a Golf Vacation with no less than 20 championship style golf courses (mostly Fazio, Nicklaus and Gary Player designed) all within a 40 minute drive. Prices range from $15 to $35 for 18 holes with a cart during the off-season. In-season prices are about double. All of these courses are open to the public. Many of them offer "daily fee" golf (play-all-day) during certain days of the week or times of the year. Also most of these courses will not penalize you for a cart fee if you show up by yourself or with an odd number of golfers. The worst of these golf courses are probably nicer than any of the municipals that you play back home. To see a list of these golf courses click here.

Fishing: Great surf fishing for Bluefish, Pompano and other species right on our beach during the winter months. Excellent fishing at the South Jetty at Fort Pierce Inlet also. The PP Cobb Bridge which connects S. Hutchinson Island with the town of Fort Pierce also has 2 catwalks which offer excellent Indian River fishing as well. There is also great fishing 10 minutes north on the Little Jim Bridge on the causeway to North Hutchinson Island.

Grapefruit League Baseball: Ocean Village is within a half hour drive of the LA Dodgers (Vero Beach) and NY Mets (St. Lucie West) Spring Training Camps...In addition, once spring training ends in early April, the minor league affiliates of both teams (Vero Beach Dodgers & St. Lucie Mets) play a full season of Class A Florida League baseball at these same sites from April to mid-September. Most of these minor league games are played at night and are very inexpensive. You can find discount coupons for many of the Mets games in many convenience stores and in the local newspapers. Although you've probably never heard of most of the players, it's a very enjoyable way to spend an evening.
