"Great location. Room was the perfect size. The cooler bag and beach chairs were a surprise and great. The usable beach wagons at the front desk were nice, even though we brought our own. The pool area was great. Easy parking, all though, we were there in non-season, could be hard to find spots another time. Friendly check in staff."
