Great little place to stay and so close to the amazing beach!!!! We had a little unit with a bunny bed and double bed. Little microwave and a little “ island” tha theme dishes,kettle. Etc…. The brash was steps away. And behind the hotel/ park is a really really good restaurant so there was no need to walk or drive anywhere. Cute little place to stay right on the beach. Loved it.

Very nice to be very close to the beach and hear the waves. Be aware that there will be lake flies and they do get in when you open the door to your cabin. The shared bathroom was kept clean.

We loved being able to hear the roar of the ocean, which was only a few steps away. Great having playgrounds for kids so close by too. Our place was clean, and we had everything we needed. Bit of an ant infestation going on that needs to be taken care of. Food options are limited and very expensive. Overall, a very beautiful place and would go there again.
