The prices have gotten quite expensive for the cabins considering you have to bring own towels sheets all sundries and clean when leaving. It’s doubled in cost since being there 3 years ago. Wow and the cost per rank went down a rank which is weird. Went there every year for around 15 years but not sure I’ll go back either the price hikes

This pace is my home away from home. We always stay in the bungalows and never want to have to check out. The staff is amazing. Definitely would recommend this place.

Cute little, no frills, 2 br bungalows on the bay! Fishing, swimming, water sport friendly. Some units accept pets. They have a playground.

A perfect little getaway place hidden right by the Mid-Bay bridge. We love to come to this hidden gem area whenever we get a chance. They got picnic tables where you can bring your own food and enjoy the view while having your meal.

Going to return every year. Trashy enough for me. Love it. Wouldn't change a thing. If I brought family then I would choose the bungalows.

An “off the cut” type of place and hidden near the mid-bay bridge. Definitely a beach getaway from the busy beaches on Okaloosa Island. If you enjoy the quiet and woodsier areas, then this is the place for you. It is well kept up and enough shade during the hot summer days provided by the trees. The incredible sunsets will not disappoint! It is not only a nice local spot, but also a fun family vacation hideout!
