The large main bedroom has a KING BED, attached bath with garden tub/shower, and a large walk-in closet. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, and the third bedroom has full over full bunks with a twin size pull-out trundle. All the bedrooms have wall mounted 43 inch LED TVs to kick back and relax after a fun-filled day at the beach.

We haven't forgotten the kids, either. There's a beach wagon, boogie boards, basketball court, and two on-site pools (one heated)! Other community amenities include tennis courts, shuffleboard, and an exercise room.

For your convenience, a welcome kit of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher pods (2), and laundry pods (2) is provided to allow you to relax before stocking additional supplies needed for your stay.
