The place is nice and airy, with view all the way to the sandbar, and has everything one would need at home. It would fit 2 families comfortably without feeling crowded, therefore is really an affordable holiday destination for everyone."

We visited so many beaches and the kids loved driving to all the hidden places. Smith's Lake is so calm and nothing compares sitting on the balcony at La Manda sipping the night away.We would greatly reccomend this place to anyone."
