We found the property bright and welcoming! Excellent location. Very golf cart friendly. We particularly loved the bedding as we are all couples and it was really nice not having to sleep in twin bunk beds! This place is perfect for adult groups. Management was very responsive and friendly. This property is highly recommended.

Nice property. Responded quickly to our concerns with refrigeration temp, but it turned out temp had been accidentally lowered. House smells musty and living room furniture is a little outdated, but other than that property is nice. Pool was great!!
Great quite place. Nice pool and HOT hot tub. Close to 3 beaches. Very clean. But the stairs are not made for the elderly. It was hard getting 2 (70) ladies and their canes up and down them to get to the living area.

Wish property had more kitchen utensils, pots and pans. One of the bathrooms had a terrible smell. Wished it would have been cleaned up better. Some light fixtures were missing light bulbs. And it's definitely not a place for people with bad knees it's a three floor condo so I was exhausted by the end of my trip from going up and down the stairs!
