About 100 steps, a one- to two-minute walk. The home sits near the Kid’s Cove lazy river, so families can run back for lunch, naps, or sunscreen without driving anywhere. That walk-to-the-water proximity is one of the main reasons groups pick this home; the hot tubs and upper pool are heated year-round and the lazy river runs mid-February through Thanksgiving, so it works in spring and fall, not just summer.
