Great house, great pool. Needs dock lights. The lagoon smells due to algae. It needs to be cleaned for any snorkeling or kayaking. Unable to use this feature, that was disappointing

The management team was great. Needed them several times throughout our stay and they were very fast in their responses.The screened lanai was the area we used the most. Of course the grandkids would argue the pool was the greatest along with all the fishing that was done.
