Very friendly people checking you in and checking in on you throughout your stay. Lovely place with all the amenities you need. We rented the boat there as well, very friendly helpful people. We had a very enjoyable three night stay. And we can't tell you how great the restaurants are in the area. We went to Drifters first night, great wings, second night Essex House, very delicious seafood and homespun atmosphere, then third night Sparky's, huge portions of really delicious food, highly recommend.
