"We have travelled to this property a few times over the past few years and are planning on continuing because of the beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. The ocean view is fabulous. The one bedroom units have plenty of room with a full kitchen that includes dishes and appliances. There is a grocery store across the street to stock up on food and drinks. We ate at (or were served in our lounge chairs) the restaurant on site daily and the food was great. The resort staff is friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to another return trip in a few months. Definitely recommend!"
