Cool and very laid back. Finally, we pulled off the main highway and pulled up to the main gate for the gated beachfront community. The drive from th... gate to the house took another 10 minutes. We drove by the golf course and clubhouse, the tennis facility, the marina and a ton of huge homes. Even at night you could tell this was a really nice place.

She wanted him.
