Great stay with family pool area was awesome Beach was not very accessible to the water kids had problems getting into water from break wall Only good place to access water was at end of dock not very convenient should have had a ladder close to beach area
Verified review

Location is perfect. If you book the lake side you see beautiful sunset over the dunes. It's a short walk to dining, ice cream and lake. A short drive to dune rides and dune hikes. It's not a new hotel. Don't expect marble or quarts counter tops but you get a well maintained room with good bed and fridge. It's a perfect location for the dunes, lighthouse and other nice towns and lakes for exploring. Only thing we learned is many places only open Thursday through Sunday in late August. I assume since many schools have already started which was actually why we picked this week. Less traffic and easy to get around. They have special parking if you are towing a 4 wheeler on a trailer as well.
