We came during labor day holiday weekend and it was wonderful. This location is perfect and we went kayaking daily. My elderly parents liked the ranch style property and the kids enjoyed the games that were available. We will definitely be coming back again.

It was very convenient to get to the beach and a good price for what it offered. My only complaint was that the WiFi was not working.
