Each shopping center has a coffee shop. I stayed just after Labor Day, so during off-season. Hopefully it would be the same experience during the height off the summer."

10/10 Excellent
"The value for your money for this property is absolutely fantastic. We rented a two room suite and it was perfect for our family of four. It is definitely dated and feels like you walked into your grandparents house from the 90s but it was immaculately clean and comfortable. We didn't actually get a a chance to use any of the amenities but they were GREAT. The daily activities were a really nice surprise as well. It is hard to find fault with this stay but if I had to, it would just be that there were not a lot of places to hang wet towels etc since you can't hang them on the balcony. Also, they are a bit thin so we could hear the fan in the bathroom below our room but couldn't really hear any other noises. None of this would stop us from booking again!"
