We have stayed at the Firefly a few times now and it never disappoints! There is so much room for everyone to have their own space, which is nice when you are with the whole family. It is totally sucluded which is amazing. They provide everything you need for a comfortable stay, all you need to bring is groceries ans beach towels:)
Great property- enjoyed the fire pit! plenty of beds too!

Plenty of Room
We decided to stay close to home for our annual girls' trip. The cabin had plenty of room for 6 of us. We had an issue but the host was very accommodating and we were all completely satisfied.
We all enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It is easy to find, plenty of space for our group of 12 to hang out, eat meals together, and more than enough sleeping areas. Would definitely stay again.
