We rolled in late in the afternoon after a long drive from Boone, NC. We just poured out of the SUV...6 people, 3 dogs and beverage containers. As I'm sure they could tell we were road worn, they were very accommodating and helpful as we checked in for the night. Extra blankets, nearby restaurants, bags of ice and anything else we needed. The rooms were nice and clean, the balcony beach views excellent and the overall coziness was just what we needed. The beach was dog friendly and just gorgeous. Nice n' quiet fort he most part. A little complimentary breakfast in the morning and a friendly goodbye...what more can you ask for.
