January, 2026 Visit
We first visited, just the two of us, in Dec., 2024.
Soon my wonderful wife came down with our daughter and her friends visited for their Spring break, Mar., 2025.
Then the three of us visited in Jan., 2026.
We visited for six nights on this trip; after a longer-than-planned travel day (the airline routed us to the wintry north of Detroit in order to fly south... a nice compare-and-contrast we appreciated after-the-fact), we were pleased to meet Shawna in person; Shawna had been talking with my wife pre-arrival, and provided a de-stressing welcome.
For this trip, we rarely left the property, in most part because I worked most of the days, in the room (see below).
We did enjoy making food for ourselves in the room; there are two Publix, one just across the bridge and another just north, heading to Jupiter, maybe and extra 3 minutes further away.
We enjoyed food at Reflections, including:
- Sunday night special... ribs !! and a Miami Vice drink, while watching some of the football with the many other guests
- burgers for lunch, including the especially good Rodeo Burger - with cheese and bacon!!
- good drinks, with and without alcohol (alcohol-free pina coladas are good for any/all ages!)
- gluten free pizza and wings
The Activity Center offered 21 / blackjack, which was fun.
We enjoyed a bit of soccer on the turf field between buildings.
The hot tubs are nice, night and day
Fun on the beach, getting sun, building sand castles, and walking along and enjoying the surf.
The eastern-most point in Florida is about a quarter-mile to the left / north... you can see it from Oceana Palms once you know where to look... it is the one rocky outcropping that is present; just use a map on your app to confirm you are there... pretty neat!
We look forward to returning soon.

Working in the room
Part of the plan was for me to work most of the days, which was fine - the desk next to the bed is just right... has the power and the room has the wifi, and the desk, at least in our room, faces west and offers a great view, good for a brief mental break, and good for getting the eyes to focus further away than just the screen.
