This is one of the greatest resorts in the country. For someone who travels weekly, I am so looking forward to my next trip. The staff is great, the location is awesome, the views are perfect. A ton of activities and things to see and do. The food is great as well. You must place "mini" golf, and please walk around as much as you can you will not be able to see it all in one visit. Access to the water is great.

A very pleasant small resort experience. Close to home and great customer service. Especially enjoyed the 18 hole real putting course. We will visit again.
