Perfect stay for the fam
Awesome place to stay with our family. Kids had lots of fun and spent hours and hours in the water and fishing. Roxie and Kelly were welcoming and friendly and the place was clean and comfortable. Lots of space for kids to roam and the beach area is perfect. No complaints at all!Thanks!
