Family vacation

We really enjoyed the property. Very clean, great location and are looking forward to staying here again. The only downside is the pool is too small for the complex, not enough chairs or shade. We did have an issue with our beach towels taken from the back fence where we hung them to dry. Other than that we enjoyed our time here and will be back.

Great Stay

It was perfect size for 10 people! 5 adults & 5 kids from 2.5 yrs old to 15 yrs old. Great amenities. Only recommendation I have is need more than 1 extra blanket and more towels. Also the water pressure is pretty terrible hade a very very hard time washing shampoo and conditioner and sand out of our hair. Other than that it was great! Location was great too!
