The area down by the water is beautiful. The room we had was horrific..... Smelled like sewage and all they did for usbwas chenge the bedding and put an ionizer in the room for a couple of hours. No money back, nothing. Refused to do anything beyond that.

The staff welcomed us and allowed us to check in early as the room was already cleaned and ready for occupancy. The room was clean, including the bathroom and kitchenette area. We wanted to go kayaking and there was no charge to use the kayaks, paddles, and life preservers. They also had paddle boards available. There was plenty of parking. The swimming pool was also clean and available to use. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you!!
