Even at the height of the Easter travel season, this pet- and boat-friendly family owned resort showed no sign of fatigue. In fact, the pool really is heated; the docks,deck and boardwalk are well-lit, and roomy enough for crowds. Plusses: the reasonable suites ready for a real extended stay, just shop & be ready to cook. A gated grassy pet run is lengthy, safe and poop bags are provided. Rules here are few and pragmatic. There are enough poolside facilities for twice the guest count, and a contracted professional keeps the water crystal clear, without the excessive smells many big pools have. Sat-TV in the spacious living area. Good quality bedding. Open windows allow a flow-through effect on nice days. Local municipal bus service is handicap-friendly and I noticed the busses have a bicycle deck on the front; an interesting potential for my next week there. My wish list: salt & pepper (honest) and perhaps a larger TV. The owners live on site and are seen hanging out with guests day & night. I note they hosted the local British-American club on the waterfront deck, and guests were encouraged to join right in. Kayaks were available for rental at the docks, which can--and did--- host several large sailboats. A rare Mom & Pop operation with a smiling housekeeping staff that's centrally located on Florida's west coast.
