Dear Mostows,
We had no idea we were staying in a place owned by Clevelanders! We grew up there and came with my inlaws who pretty much drove from Cleveland (they’re not driving all the way back, luckily) Gabriella’s is a favorite of ours as well, and our kids love seeing the pirate ship sail by at Pier 19 at dinner-great blackened fish & shrimp dishes too, & in summer the pirate ship stops by the pier for a show, which the kids love too. It’s a nice walk there as well. We were a little bummed our favorite brunch place, Yummies, was closed for holiday break, and one of these trips we’ll get to Café on the Beach early enough for their breakfast! We all enjoyed visiting Sea Turtle Inc. and checking on old and new residents. Saw a bunch of cool crabs running around the surf too! Next time, based on your recommendations, we’ll bring binoculars for birding!
