    This place was absolutely amazing for the group of 6 that we had. We did not feel cramped like in most places, it was very spacious. Beds where actually pretty comfortable unlike most places. Getting key access was easy with the Vacasa app. With a very convenient beach access across the street. The view of the water back and behind the property where you can fish off the docks was great for the guys in my group. The place they have set for grilling is great for a quick lunch or cheap dinner if you do not feel like going out to eat.

    We didn't have much money this year for a family vacation so I had to get something that wasn't beach front. I was concerned about a cheaper hotel but it was clean. Had a nice little pool for the kids. We didn't try the breakfast so I can't review that. Overall I'm glad I found the hotel it met our needs and budget.
