I loved how clean and quiet this place is. Being a small building complex helps control the amount of people. The beaches are beautiful. Love how pet friendly it is, but also keep all the rooms neat and clean and not smelling like animals.

Property was clean and nice. Food at the resort was good. Not a lot of close restaurant options or things to do close by within walking distance. Would stay here again as we were looking for relaxing vacation at the beach.
