Dance competition Family Trip
The property was in a good location near shops and restaurants. The room had everything we needed and enough space for my family. We enjoyed the pool area a lot. I would recommend a nice deep cleaning of the unit but it was not dirty. We had a small linen issue upon arrival that was handled swiftly. I would stay at this location again.

No problems at all with condo I needed to contact the owner first day for wifi password that I couldn’t find responded in 10 minutes which my kids and I appreciated. Bed were very comfortable, view was nice, had lots of channels on the cable and the kitchen was well stocked. The washer/dryer was a big help and worked flawlessly and we had plenty of towels etc that were provided. I would definitely stay at this location in the future very nice.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We booked a short notice Thanksgiving week with our grown kids and had a lovely time! The unit was clean and fresh, well maintained and well located. Close to everything we needed. Able to make a full Thanksgiving dinner for 4 with no issues. And Owners were able to accommodate our special request too! The facility staff at check in were lovely and very helpful. Would recommend a stay here during off season as much as during high times. Great Wifi and tv services also a big plus. Thank you!

Nice weekend away
We enjoyed our stay in this property. Everything was as expected when we arrived - clean and the photos portrayed everything accurately. We loved that the bunk room had a solid door so our kids could nap or go to bed early and we still could enjoy the living space. We found the kitchen to be well-stocked for our needs as we decided to eat-in more than going out with a 1-yr-old. The zero-entry pool was perfect for our kids, though we were disappointed that the splash pad was not open during our stay. The heated pool was great, as well, and we loved that the pools were so close to the room (no long walk once you come down from your room). All of the communication and directions from the property manager were very clear and helpful. We would stay here again.
