"Nestled between the sea and the mountains is a retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It is a place where you can relax, letting your soul fill with the natural beauty that surrounds you. A place where the great outdoors is in harmony with the great indoors, matched in spaciousness and a sense of being. This place is The Gales, a 68 home development (42 patio homes & 26 condos in two condo buildings) with ocean and mountain views."
