This is the find!! Water front efficiency units-- while they may be small, they do the job. You can not find anything else like them. And the owners are wonderful. I understand now why so many people return here annually.

You cannot beat this place for the friendly staff. The rooms are spacious and comfortable but nothing beats the view. You are literally on the water. There is a private beach area; the grounds are beautifully kept; it is walking distance to everything and no need to keep up appearances - beach attire is just fine.
