Without Steve, Kevin, and Bill's assistance fixing our boat, our family 4th get together would've been very different and a lot of family members would've been awfully disappointed. Our family has a big July 4th get together every year and the boat is in high demand for all types of watersports. Within minutes, Kevin the mechanic, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. He asked me what was wrong, immediately got on his phone, and convinced a local mechanic to drop everything and come out to look at my boat. Steve, one of the property's owners, walked up to me after I had checked out and noticed I was having mechanical problems with my boat. But one particular instance really stood out. Theres also a bike trail and horse back riding, and lots of visitors who put on displays and races with their boats and jet skis. From the front desk, to the servers, bartenders and the guys in charge of the docks-all of them were very helpful and friendly.
