The stay at Welk Northstar was amazing! They supplied just about everything you need from kitchen to laundry room & bathrooms of course. It was just my husband and myself in the two bedroom villa and it was so beyond spacious! We stayed during off season so if you are wanting to enjoy the village it is very sparse. We only went down to Starbucks and cooked our own food so for us it wasn’t a problem. The only thing I wish they would change are pool hours, we’re early birds and 9am is kind of late...

Great location- walk across the street to get to bike trails and beach access. Hotel is cute with lots of rustic reclaimed wood and nice decor. Had great wine and watched Monday night football at Uncorked with some friendly locals. Only minor downside is showerhead was from about 1976 so the shower experience wasn't as great as I assumed it would be with all the other uogrades and attention to detail

5 Stars all the way!!!! From the moment we checked in, which the staff was so friendly, to going into the safe parking garage, you know right off this is going to be amazing! When we went to go check out our suite, WOW what a surprise. Full kitchen, no need to bring anything except your own food and drinks, because the little store is reay high priced, dining room table, couch, gas fireplace, balcony that looks out into the courtyard that would be a perfect place for the Summer Blues nights,...
