The Marriott Resort at Indian River Plantation Features:

Indian River Plantation consists of numerous condominium associations and buildings. All styles from Ocean front to River front and Golf and Tennis villas can be found here. IRP is associated and co-located with the Marriott Resort and Marina.

Tucked away on Hutchinson Island, the Treasure Coast’s 16-mile lush barrier island, is a unique resort that greets guests with the warmth of true Southern hospitality.
The Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort and Marina stretches across 200 acres of plantation landscape on Hutchinson Island, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and by the shimmering Indian River on the other side.

A newly remodeled lobby with sweeping draperies, plantation-style wood furnishings and tropical tones sets the stage for a magical golf getaway. This is the gateway to an array of championship and executive courses, including Nicklaus, Fazio and Player designs.

Golfers of all skill levels will enjoy the challenging fairways and greens found in the area’s 12 courses. Plantation East, the resort’s own course, meanders throughout the island and is characterized by water on 17 of 18 holes. This 4,042-yard, par-61 executive course requires careful club selection and precision shot-making to overcome constantly changing ocean breezes.

 

The Hutchinson Island Marriott offers guests and residents two tiki bars and their Signature Restaurant, the Baha Grille. Thirteen Novagrass tennis courts, miles of unspoiled beaches, water sports, deep sea fishing, and a full-service 77-slip marina anchored on the Indian River round out a perfect vacation of sun and fun.
Resort amenities also include three heated pools with sun decks, game rentals from the Activities Hut, two outdoor spas and supervised activities for both children and teens.

Sailfish Point May 2017 Market Report

Memorial Day – May 29, 2017

Memorial Day

May 29, 2017

“And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

— John F. Kennedy

On Memorial Day the flag is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.

The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. At noon their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all.

Thinking of you on Memorial Day
