Super cute spot! The owner are very involved, making everything like home and so pleasant. My kids wanted to have dance party for Valentine's Day at the pool.. the owner so sweet and kind. They even DJ for the kids while they dance next to the pool, Under the stars. Allowing us to make special memory is on a special day with our kids.
