Review Submitted: August 23, 2007 Date of Stay: July 2007
My family and I had a wonderful week at Lucky Enough and we actually sent our older son and his wife back for a long weekend! A great family vacation spot. Quiet but close to the beach. Beautiful condo and property. We will be going back - soon I hope!

Review Submitted: August 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My family and i had a great time staying at this cottage. The beach is accross the hwy and with having stroller and small children we drove accross the street and parked right in front of beach off Cortez st. Worked out great. The cottage had everything we needed. The zero entry pool was awsome at this property and located right behind cottage. Overall i dont think we could find any better. We hope to come back every year! Very nice owners.
