"The location was perfect. Within walking distance of restaurants, movie theatre, and harbor. The only complaint is that we did not have hot water on Thursday morning to take a shower due to a rainstorm the night before. This caused the hot water system to disconnect and it wasn’t turned back on in the morning."

8/10 Good
"My initial and only complaint was not having a mini fridge but then realized with wildlife that it was much smarter to have the cooler - I just thought there was no way a cooler would suffice but it was very efficient, albeit a bit too small. Adding included bags of Ice was a smart touch. For the price of the resort and it being an actual tent, I would've expected a bit more to the property - maybe like wood delivery service - but it was still beautiful and the tents are fantastic with beautiful touches like heated mattresses that we surprisingly needed in August. The wagons provided make things easier so you don't have to hear cars coming and going too but everyone should know that up front that you can't drive your car to the tent at any time so don't bring anything too big that won't fit in a fun little wagon. You guys should invest in a playground too - especially in that play field area!"
