Tournament weekend with family
Great property. Fence around dock and boat lift could use some maintenance. Outside of that this is a great property. Super clean and well decorated. Will definitely return. Layout is awesome.

Great time with family
The house and two bedrooms upstairs was great. The pool and decks were FANTASTIC! We had a great time as a family hanging outside, swimming in the pool, using the slide, the deck on the bay and of course the cooking. It was a great time and great space for us.
The bedroom downstairs and the bathroom downstairs smelled like mold. I walked in and immediately had an allergic reaction. It’s unfortunate that I know about mold and the misinformation out there in mold. I told the property managers and they did everything they could to remedy the immediate situation.
Unfortunately, to fix this problem you have to clean or replace ducts and sheetrock - which isn’t a quick fix.
We didn’t ask for consideration. We stayed and made it work with the best parts of the property. I recommend it.
