Nice area. Pet friendly, which is great. The cottages are spacious but dated. Some of the cottages and similiar to a duplex, with another guest staying on the other side of the wall. Ours was like this and our neighbors were a bit noisy until 11-1130pm. We stayed here in October so cannot comment on the pool.

They obviously weren't interested in our business. After making arrangements weeks beforehand, when we got there they were locked up tight. We saw them in the office, so we rang the number posted on the office door but got no answer. Strange way to do business. We went down the road to a super friendly hotel that actually wanted our business.

The room wasn’t the cleanest - there was popcorn and cheesies under our bedroom table. The floor throughout was dirty. The staff are amazing and very accommodating. The community has a great selection when it comes to dining out and fast-food places. The lakes and ocean views are breathtaking.
