The place as a whole is nice, how ever if you have a question on a weekend or after 5 you will not get an answer. Need to clean under furniture as we had to search for the remote in the living room. Tv in other rooms do not work! Golf cart in the center of garage which was not part of our rental, should be off to the side not in center. If you have more than 2 vehicles you will need to take them to a parking lot, we did as we had 13 people. Water park water was extremely cold, the small outdoor pool was warmer.
