Clean cute decor
Clean well kept property. Easy check-in. Good shower. Could have used kitchen towels. We were expected to wash , dry and put kitchen dishes away but had to use small kitchen washcloths for the whole process. One bed was good, one bed was softer. Ate at the Monarch one night. All meals were good. Had drinks and dessert at the Lily pad. Great space on the water.
