Perfect place to stay

Amazing! Was me and my a 14 yr old girls. Loved location-walk over to public beach qnd to stores for shopping. Loved room-was spacious. Loved breakfast- delicious food and plenty of it. Pool was refreshing-plenty of lounges for laying out. Plenty of other seating options out there too. The free kayaks were so fun. Found lots of crabs on the private beach. Free bikes was nice to stroll the boardwalk. All the workers were so friendly and nice. We absolutley loved it and have already booked for labor day weekend and my daughters fall break at school.
The free kayaks were awesome!!!!
Pool was perfect with plenty of various seating areas and loungers. Even has a misting area you can sit in.
Private beach area, fishing and crab hunting was nice.
Again the kayaks were my girls favorite part!
