8/10 Very Good! (366 reviews)
This property has a lot of beautiful beach. If you want to simply relax and do nothing.. this is the place. There's definitely things to do in the area. We like to bring a little grill and use the state park. They do have a pool but as far as 8-15-25 it's not open yet. The restaurant is pretty good too.
