Fabulous property and location. We would stay here again. They do allow pets in some areas and we happened to get a unit by a barky dog.

Perfect spot to stay and be close to the boardwalk. You could hear the fun happening during park hours and when the park closed, it was quiet. Great place to stay. We will definitely come back.
