The mattress is beyond needing replaced in the last bedroom in the back. You sink down in the middle of it, and have a hard time getting out. It’s extremely uncomfortable. The ice maker in the fridge doesn’t turn off on its own, so it overflows with ice cubes. Outdoor patio furniture could be provided for the patio instead of an indoor futon. I would recommend using tilex cleaner around the shower doors where the mildew buildup is present. The shower in the last bedroom could’ve been cleaned better. Also, the vacuum needs to be ran. We kept getting long black hair stuck to our feet. Outside of that, it was sufficient.

Great location, and great amenities

The guys enjoyed their stay here, it’s is as advertised. The pool area is excellent. Would give 5 stars but the AC kept going out for 2 of the 4 weeks they were there and 2 of the beds were broken. But the management company was very responsive and helped deal with the issues.we will book again should the boys have to go back.
