Enjoyable and peaceful

LBK is a great place to vacation or spend a long weekend. Quiet, private beaches with easy access to good restaurants nearby. This location is a great choice… lounge chairs and umbrellas provided… You set them up but they are free to use and there were always chairs available.

Great getaway

Staff was very nice. It was wonderful that our apartment was so close to the beach the only downfall would be that there were limited restaurants/shopping within walking distance from the resort- we chose not to rent a car and just get some R&R. We were able to walk to a couple restaurants. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves, and would come back!

Family Friendly

It was perfect! Clean quiet and on the beach. We really enjoyed our experience. Having a full kitchen gave us ease on having to go out to eat and allowed us to enjoy the beach and pool more. Definitely will book again. Highly recommend.

Good, but could be better.

Sand on the floor when we arrived. A few things could've been fixed. The sheets felt cheap and scratchy. Bed too hard. It was our 3rd time there and overall, we like it, but next time we'll probably look for someplace better even though it will cost more.
