Once the marketing suite opened at The Links I decided to go for it and reserved a sea-facing apartment. It just seemed the right thing to do: the location, the layout. There is nothing to compare to it: I didn’t see the point in looking at other properties, so didn’t.
It seemed to offer everything I was looking for and more. I wanted to be reasonably close to Rob [Kathryn’s son] and family. I wanted somewhere that would allow me to take walks and the prospect of a westerly facing sea view, with my own terrace seemed like a dream. I had never lived in an apartment before so that was going to be a first.
Having lived here almost a year I can say it’s like living in a dream. The view, the sunsets. It is all better than I had imagined and the level and specification of the finished product has been spot on.
The community both at The Links and in Rest Bay is lovely. Prior to lock-down, I had been going to local Line Dancing groups three times and week and I love my walks by the sea. An unexpected but really lovely part of being here is my neighbours – we are all very different but have got to know each other very quickly, mainly because of a shared pleasure in living in such a lovely place.
