We were blown away by how great Gary's place is! The access to the ocean and other amenities was better than expected. We ended up canceling some of our outings just to spend more time enjoying the property. Perfect for our group of ten!

This condo was in great condition. Absolutely clean and tidy. I was only disappointed that the main clubhouse had all the water sport equipment closed as well as the restaurant. Their season ended on Labour Day.

This property was lovely and the host was super nice and easy to deal with. A great place for a large family. The amenities at this location were also very nice. The per night rental fee was totally fair, the only thing that surprised me was the additional fees. But I am new to using VRBO so I guess I’m an old fart who needs to get used to the way the world works now.

Great place for an extended family trip! Location was amazing with the beach access right there. Kids hot tub/pools and playground was an extra bonus. Kitchen was well stocked and we didn’t feel anything was lacking! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

The resort is very peaceful. It is great place to walk from whether it be on the beach or on walking trails. The house is well equipped and the layout is very accommodating for extended family stays. Great host and very responsive regardless of the time contacted. We will definitely consider staying here again!

My guests loved this location. Being able to watch sunsets from the lawn or stroll down to the water was such a joy. One of the guests who wanted to use the fitness centre pass was unable to make it work, so she headed out for a jog around the property instead. It's a great layout for a group of women wanting to relax and would definitely rent this property again!
