The house was beautiful. Door code did not work when we first arrived and we had to call. Pool was closed all week until Friday. No one notified me of this prior to arrival. This was disappointing to the kids. The pool was one of the features that helped us decide on this property. When we called about it they had no information on when it would be fixed. Other than those 2 issues it was wonderful. The house is extremely spacious, the golf cart is a life saving feature. The leave welcome starting gifts in the bathrooms and kitchens.
