The property was nice and we enjoyed our stay. The only negative was that the dock shown in the photos and restaurant advertised as being next to the property were closed for construction.

It was a short visit.

Gathered with family for a few days. Our first time in the area. This was a bit more than a hotel but just being in the same condo complex was priceless. Captain Mac's place was wonder, it was comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. We would consider it again in the future.
