great waterfront stay

clean room big tv spacious shower relaxing beach
the room was very clean, and i appreciated the big tv. i found the bathroom great, especially the spacious shower. the small beach area was perfect. the barbecue area allowed me to cook my own meals, which i liked.
the walls seemed somewhat thin. i heard some noise from the adjacent rooms. it wasn't too disruptive though.

Relaxing Stay Near the Water

friendly gal dinner recommendation large room new decor
The gal at the reception desk was very friendly. I got a nice dinner recommendation. The room was large. I found the decor to be newly renovated. I was able to hang out on the dock and see the sunset (it was beautiful!).
I noticed a few long black hairs in the bathroom near the door frame.

EXCELLENT stay at the Resort!

private beach access heated pool friendly staff
I enjoyed immediate access to a private beach. there was a heated pool! Jared REALLY helped me, showing friendliness right from the start and even stayed to check me in when I arrived at 8pm, after the desk closing time. The king room provided space, comfort, and two TVs. It was a PERFECT experience.
There WAS no daily housekeeping, that was ok, but sprucing up the place would have been nice.
