Nice place, excellent location that’s only minutes from the beach. Sunsets across the street over the bay each night. The upper deck was a great place to stargaze and allowed me to get some Astro photography in! Pool was great, some floats and toys already there.Family friendly absolutely yes but guests will need gates for small children due to stairs inside and out. Heads up, bring your own trash bags, cleaners, some extra towels and TP. Washer and dryer was great to have!Would definitely recommend to others and would like to return!
