8.4 out of 10, Very good, (203 reviews)
"The location is further from the marina. While you can walk, it is a long walk and a car would be needed for those that don’t want a 35-40 minute walk to restaurants and marina. The property had the basics ( four plates, cups, and bowls, and some basic cooking items) and was sufficient for our stay as we often eat out for meals. The cleaning crew needs to do a better job though. There were stains on couch, carpet and curtains. Pool is very nice. Hot tub was really a cold tub."
