Loved the vibe. Taco truck on grounds, outdoor bar / eating area, wonderful. I'm a big guy, and the bathroom was a little tight, but we here in the area to explore, not hang out in rooms. Would I go back there, yes. But maybe not room 6. Might try another.

Room needs many updates! Rusty towel racks, toilet paper holder and shower caddy, atained chairs and couch. Cool cabana bar outside however there was a party there until almost 11:00 pm. Loud music, talking , laughing, kids running! Cannot see the water as it shows on the web sight. A little deceiving!

The location is great - walk to local restaurants/bars. The most comfortable bed of the trip - amazing! The bathroom let it down, in need of updating. We were in Cottage 5 and the shower was very poor and overall condition of the bathroom was not good. The onsite Tiki Bar was a great addition and the Taco truck. Sadly the promised coffee in the morning didn’t happen as the coffee machine was broken, so we had to walk out to find a local coffee shop.
Fantastic comfortable bed!

Back to front shower with Hot / Cold water resulting in very poor pressure shower if you want it hot!

This operation was pretty solid, and the cabin was nice and clean. Parking is close to cabins, which made it easy for me to load/unload bags and scuba gear. Staff was friendly, and works hard at keeping the grounds spotless and full of life. Would recommend, and plan on going back.
