Great staff. They were friendly and let us know the information as soon as we arrived. Amazing location if the goal is to go to the beaches. We went for Fourth of July and it was very conveniently located so that we didn’t have to drive anywhere. The beach across the street and 15 minutes down the road by walking were nice as well!
