For eating in, all three major supermarket chains are within a 5 minute drive. For eating out, the list is almost endless from an Australian steak house through Chinese, Greek, Italian and Japanese to an all you can eat restaurant with its own micro brewery. Family restaurants (Dennys, Shoneys, Golden Corral, Boston Market etc) are nearby, as too are all the major fast food chains. And after all that, the pool - 10 seconds.
With fast connections and an easy pace of life, Palm Bay offers an excellent location for an all round holiday combining the Orlando attractions, Spaceport USA, local beaches and shops or just lounging around the pool. |
