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.
We had a great stay overall and would definitely consider staying here again. The house is very spacious and comfortably accommodated our group of three families (12 people total) with room to spare. It was especially kid-friendly, with plenty of bunk beds that the kids loved. The included golf cart and bikes were a fantastic bonus, and we really enjoyed the neighborhood amenities, pools, and beautiful walking/biking trails nearby. The home was well stocked with towels, and having great laundry facilities made a week-long stay much easier.We did run into a couple of issues during our stay. We saw a few roaches throughout the week, and the refrigerator wasn't working when we arrived. After a large grocery run, we were concerned about our food spoiling. The host quickly arranged for a backup refrigerator, but it unfortunately wasn't cooling properly either. That said, the host was very responsive via text and communicated promptly throughout the process.Overall, the home itself is a great fit for large families or groups, and with the refrigerator issue resolved, it would be an excellent place to stay.
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.
