We had the king suite and it was amazing! Great kitchen and living area fully stocked including games and books. Large balcony with views of the lake. Enjoyed the fireplace on a cold rainy day. Pool and hot tub area were very nice. Doughnuts available every morning. Easily walk to the beach or downtown shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

The property is a combination of condos that are owned and rented out and "motel rooms" for the resort. The facilities are super clean, the grounds are amazing and the staff is super nice and helpful. Its worth every penny.
