Stayed here for two nights with my daughter and two grandchildren. This place was just right! It had an indoor and outdoor (heated) pool. It’s a short walk to the beautiful beach. Plenty of parking spaces. We stayed in a One bedroom with kitchenette. The kitchenette was modern and well stocked. The bedding was comfy. The housekeeping staff does a thorough job... this place was spotless! Freshly laundered towels placed every day when returned from the beach. The staff was very nice.. The management and staff here are doing everything right! We would definitely return. We had a wonderful stay.

We stay at Dessert Sands with the kids every year.
Great room options, small pool area but it works out fine.
Great beach across the street.
There is a small restaurant on the adjacent property and very convenient with good food.
The front desk has board games that you can sign out for free.
