Overall, a great experience. Getting in touch with the management group over the weekend as we were getting settled in was a bit of a challenge. Communication regarding getting a few of the codes to access our golf cart key was a bit cumbersome and delayed.
I rarely post reviews. Though I liked the home, there were issues. First, the good. Very spacious and nice windows resulting in a lot of sun. Nice screened in back porch with TV. Nicely stoked with plates/glasses, etc. Good ice maker, large table to eat on. Then, the not so good. The screened in porch and outside deck has weathered wood; two of our grandkids, aged 3 and 5, got a total of 4 splinters in 5 minutes, resulting in a lot of screaming to remove them. I noticed my 5 y/o playing with a short hose on the deck, a few feet from me, and I told her to not spray me, assuming it was a water line. However, I noticed a gas smell, and it was an unmarked gas line, which she had turned on!! This could have turned out much worse. The dark wood floor throughout the first floor is much dirtier than it looks, as I found out when I went to clean up some water that I spilled in the kitchen, and the paper towel was very dirt stained, which does not show up on a dark floor. I pulled up the area rug in the living area in front of the TV, and there was a lot of sand and dirt under it.The downstairs half bath was unusable, due to water damage causing the floor to buckle in that area.The fitted sheet on the master bed, first floor, did not fit, and kept coming off while we were sleeping. The second floor air conditioner stopped working one night, due to the condensation line backing up.Management was responsive for the sheet, A/C issue, and gas line on the deck.
