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.

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.

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!

A Little Bit of Paradise

We really enjoyed our 3 day stay. The positives were the property is right on the beach, is nicely furnished, comfy bed, and spacious screened in porch. The only negatives were the bathroom was very small, no facial tissues, poor lighting, & mirror too low. But that wouldn't keep me from coming back!!
