Worth the money.

We were very happy with our stay. The rooms and property were very clean. We didn't have a great view of the water, but didn't mind very much. We will stay here again.

The property is Nice. A comfortable unit with full kitchen, which is a plus for longer visits. The room was a little musty-smelling. We opened a window and the deck door and it cleared. Nice views and comfortable accommodations.

Property is fairly new and well kept. Room was very clean. My one complaint is that they use highly scented laundry products. For folks who are sensitive to artificial chemical scents, it’s pretty strong. Other than that, it was a good stay.

The property is fairly new and in good shape. Clean and well maintained. My only complaint is the laundry products they use for linens and towels. The scent is Very Strong. For folks with sensitivity to synthetic chemically scented products it’s a bit overpowering. Please consider using unscented hypoallergenic laundry products.
