Fantastic theming for the whole family

We had a fantastic stay and the children loved the theming. Everything from the kitchen magnets to the toilet paper holders is pirate themed. They even have a children's book about becoming a pirate in the kids room and we had fun reading it at bedtime and making pirate voices. Then you step out the front door and find a pirate ship playground. The whole complex is a fun family atmosphere with pool, splash pad, and BBQ grills in the island theme. We will definitely be back and we are so happy we chose this for our stay.

Beautiful and kid friendly

The cabin was perfect to bring your littles to. Right next to playground and splash pad. Four min walk to the beach. It was perfect!
