Growing Up Osprey

The parents have fled the nest for loftier ambitions, but these young osprey siblings haven’t quite accepted life yet without mom and dad. Andy notices that they come home to their platform every day looking for a ready-made meal from their parents. With empty stomachs and hefty appetites, they realize soon enough they must fend for themselves. As with any species, hunger is a great motivator for independence!  » Read more

Parking Made Easier

News reports abound with how Tesla, Google and others have been testing their solutions to self-driving cars. Here at Ocean’s Reach, we’re busy, too, testing a new solution to finding your parking space in the dark (or daylight, for that matter)!

We know it’s sometimes frustrating driving around our parking lot looking for the location of your carport. You’ll soon find your condo number painted directly on the bumper of your parking space.  » Read more

The fun is only moments away for this father daughter duo as they test the feisty waters before diving in and riding the waves to shore. If you haven’t tried this, it’s the most fun for any age!

Recent storms that struck Texas and Louisiana created some turbulence in our gulf waters, creating unique water adventures, far from the tranquil lapping waves our summer guests normally experience.

So go with the flow,  » Read more

Where’s the Beach?

Every once in a while, Mother Nature puts on her own beach cover up.

Case in point, this photo from a couple of weeks ago, when effects from distant Tropical Storm Cindy included plenty of waves, higher tides and adventurous drop offs into the water.

Fortunately for us, the water quickly receded, leaving Ocean’s Reach guests to enjoy our gorgeous — and expansive — shoreline!  » Read more
