Our stay was so nice! The weather wasn't the best but we didn't let that stop us! The golf cart was so awesome to have and be able to take around the town. It isn't far from the beach either. Best part about it was the all the space and the pool and golf cart! Wish we would have booked a longer stay but we will definitely be back!! 😁
