Super cute spot! The owner are very involved, making everything like home and so pleasant. My kids wanted to have dance party for Valentine's Day at the pool.. the owner so sweet and kind. They even DJ for the kids while they dance next to the pool, Under the stars. Allowing us to make special memory is on a special day with our kids.

I was charged a $20.00 pet “cleaning fee” for my support dog who weighs 4lbs. Nothing about a cleaning fee is disclosed on their website nor on Expedia. It says support animals are exempt from all service fees.. I was unhappy with this and let them know. I consider the fee as another way to get a fee for pets.
