This was our first time staying here and for sure won’t be our last! Great location, walking distance to a gas station & dock to get on the boat. Perfect complimentary breakfast - waffles, bagels, toast, cereal, donut holes, yogurt & granola, coffee & juice. They have a great patio, entertainment and bar area. The pool is clean and has an awesome fire pit area with grills you can use. Beds were comfortable, my daughter loved the twin bed she got to herself in our room. All in all the place has a great vibe and friendly staff!

We liked the property as a whole. The owners were really really nice very very helpful and the amenities were a 12 on a scale from one to 10 the only thing that we weren’t able to use was the pool however it did open on the last day that we were there, but we will definitely return to this property in the future. It was very welcoming and we would like to use the other amenities that we’re going to be opening soon so we will see you again. Thank you! The Leeder’s
