I had a great experience. It was a perfect way to celebrate my cousin’s 60th birthday. They were able to put our rooms together. It was close to the beach and boardwalk. Had a cute area to grill. The picnic table had a canopy which it kept us cool from the sun. Very quiet at night. We will be definitely be coming back next summer.
