“Boathouse Resort strikes me as particularly well-suited to families, thanks to its spacious apartments and attractive pool area. The inclusion of kitchens in each unit, along with the resort's proximity to both bay and ocean beaches, makes it easy to plan longer, more flexible stays. I think the family-friendly atmosphere, enhanced by the availability of double kayaks, truly sets it apart.”
