    We were at the beachfront for a long time and being hidden in the trees, still just a 3 minute walk to the beach was great. They have a great Gazebo with a cooking gas stove as well as a really nice Weber bbq. We had Surf and turf, cooked ourselves on the BBQ. that was refreshing. There are surfboards, waveboards, snorkel gear, coolers that you can just borrow and walk to the beach. Would stay here again in a minute.…
