    We shared a lovely experience at La Vida Del Mar. Every member of the staff was kind and considerate. We toured the beautiful architecture of the building and individual rooms. We were given an excellent lunch in the exquisite dining room. We will consider a residence there. Even the location so close to the beach is ideal. Thank you Adrienne and Scottie. We will see you soon.

    lovely tour. Knowledgeable docent. Enjoyed lunch and that was very good. Facility main rooms could be brighter but facility was immaculately clean. Enjoyed comfortable limited size of residents. Very friendly with access to shopping, local community activities and beach. Very positive and appealing facility.

    Vibrant senior community. Lots of active options and beautiful outdoor areas. Rooms are clean and light. Staff is friendly and connecting. The food options looked healthy and carried. The interior common areas are darker that I like, I’d like it if the common area carpet was newer and lighter colored. Overall seems like a great option for active seniors!

    My wife and I moved to La Vida Del Mar in April 2023. We have enjoyed living here. The accommodations are four star hotel, and the food provided by the restaurant is excellent. There are many activities scheduled on a daily basis and we have found several of them to our liking and participate. I highly recommend anyone looking for a retirement community to join to come and see us.
