Very relaxing and comforting environment. If you own a sailboat, this community is one of the best in the area. The club offers a wide variety of amenities like playgrounds, a swimming pool. The Club House, docks and the grounds are very well kept. Security is not a major concern. However the entry to the club is accessable through an electronic gate.
