We had the king suite and it was amazing! Great kitchen and living area fully stocked including games and books. Large balcony with views of the lake. Enjoyed the fireplace on a cold rainy day. Pool and hot tub area were very nice. Doughnuts available every morning. Easily walk to the beach or downtown shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.
