We had a great stay in Kingfisher.
We had a great stay in Kingfisher. The location was perfect for us, very quiet and peaceful but not too far from beaches and other things to do. It was very clean and well equipped, with a good layout - the bedrooms are at the other end of the property to the living room, so we didn't worry about waking our kids in the evening. The fishing lakes are a great bonus too.
