The ambience of the Edgewater was amazing. The Activity Hut was great!! The employees were very kind and helpful. The view of the ocean was Spectacular!!! My only concern wss for the amount of animals; chickens getting up on the tables and the amount of dogs. If someone is allergic to animals, it might be a problem.
