Great Family Vacation Spot

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. This is the perfect spot for a quiet family vacation. The grounds were kept very clean and tidy. We stayed on the second floor and had a clear view of the ocean. Very close to the downtown area. I would be happy to stay here again.
