Great Family Vacation
My family vacationed here for 4 days and enjoyed it! The weather was a little chilly so we didn’t get to enjoy some of the amenities. But we did use the laundry service, eat at the restaurant, and walk the beach. We had a great time! This is our second stay here and we will definitely be back!
