Perfect week-end get away
the house and pool are were exactly as pictured. Very clean and neat. Pool was great. Quiet neighborhood. It was within 10 minutes or less from our other family staying there so was perfect location.

Amazing property with a lot of amenities
Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. The pool was great and the temperature was just right. They think of everything you might need on your stay. Pool towels, laundry detergent and the welcoming snacks were very thoughtful. I would recommend this property for those wanting to golf or just relax by the pool. Great property!
