Carao Insider Tips
- One of the most noticeable design features of the Carao condominiums is the size of the outdoor terraces, which were designed as true outdoor living spaces large enough to accommodate both a full dining table and a separate lounge seating area. For many owners, the terrace effectively becomes a second living room for much of the year.
- Because the residential floors sit above the underground parking and entry foyer level, even the lowest units are elevated and private compared with traditional ground-floor condominiums.
- The penthouse units are especially desirable due to the loft level, which owners commonly use as an additional sleeping area, office, or media room. Some also offer ocean views.
- The townhomes offer a completely different lifestyle than the condominiums. With two floors, private pools, and direct golf course frontage, they feel closer to a luxury villa while still benefiting from the security and maintenance of a managed community.
- Carao’s location near the Westin lobby is one of its most practical advantages. Owners can easily access the hotel restaurants and services, while still enjoying a quiet residential atmosphere set slightly away from the busier resort areas.
