“Okay, not spectacular...”

Reviewed 4 days ago NEW via mobile

Stayed in one of the condo units. For the price we paid I thought it would be nicer. They nickel and dime you to death. Like at the restaurant, $16 for a hamburger with chips - if you want french fries it was $3 more. The service at the Point restaurant was not spectacular - just did her basic job.... More

“Big rooms but very 'tired'; however, the pool area is great!”

Reviewed 1 week ago

We stayed here as part of the Offshore Sailing School for three nights. Simply, the rooms are very old. They were adequate for everything you would consider doing at a beach resort: clean up and sleep. The pool areas were great though! They have many of them and there are two that basically look straight out to the sound. I... More

Spent two weeks with family at the resort. Have to say that the food at the marina restaurant and at the main pool is very good. One item that really stood out was the crab cake at the marina restaurant. I'm from Baltimore and it's usually silly to order crab cakes anywhere other than in MD, DE and some places... More
