"The facility was very nice and well maintained and the staff was helpful. The only problem I had was that they nickel dime you for everything. For example they had a basket of snacks, five dollars for a snickers bar, or a half can of Pringles. Have to pay extra to use the pool."

10/10 Excellent
"Property was very clean, quaint, and had easy access to the parking garage and pool right from the back patio. There were not too many stairs, which is great for young kids. The only thing that was could be an issue is the long walk to the beach which may be a bit of a hike for small children (make sure to wear flip flops or sandals on the boardwalk down to the beach). It was a beautiful setting and less crowded beach than typical when we were there which was the end of July/beginning of August. The whole family would love to go back! Awesome experience!"
