"We, the kids, and the dog had the most relaxing, peaceful and comfortable 3 nights. We were super toasty warm with the heaters on, the kids loved picking a DVD or board game each night, the Spa was the biggest hit and the dog loved his freedom. We kayaked over to the Dunes, swam in the ocean and walked miles and miles up the beach. All in the middle of winter and it was still magic. Loved the hot outdoor shower. Best view from a shower I've ever had. The whole process and stay was easy and we didnt want to leave. Everything we needed and more."
