This place was amazing! Totally different from our usual stays, in all the right ways. The staff was friendly, remembers your name, makes you feel like an old friend. Location is great, you can see Duval when you step outside, but once you step onto the property, its like you are in another world. My husband always has a complaint(or 20) about every place we stay, but not this time! We hated to leave and cannot wait to return!
