Great place to stay and the people are very nice. Centrally located and have grocery store right next door. The facility was clean and convertible. The one thing I would warn anyone who wants to stay here is if you have motion sickness the constant movement of the boat will cause you issues.

This place was a dream!! So unique, clean, comfortable, peaceful, and quiet. Wish we stayed longer. Can’t wait to go back. I didn’t realize how close it was to the beach and the grocery store and we loved the bonus of free bicycles to ride with the family.
