The property s beautiful and quiet! Only complaint is the giant murder-squitos that swarm you the second you step foot on the pathway to the beach but that’s nothing that can be controlled.

Our water heater wasn't working on our first night but management too care of the problem right away. ##### Mildred B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kim P. 18 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay We enjoyed this property but, just one issue that was quickly addressed. Our property was super clean however, we found some blood splatter on the bathroom door when we checked in. We let them know and they quickly sent over the housekeeping crew to clean. The rest of the place was spotless. They are very strict on parking. You have to park your golf carts and trailers in an open field on property. They have security at the gate and monitoring the property during the day. At night, there are cameras monitoring the over flow parking of the golf carts. It felt like a safe and well run place to stay. We would stay again. ##### Kim P.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The beds were good, the showers were great, and kitchen was extremely well equipped . I had already known that the washing machine/dryer weren’t in the unit but it turns the laundry was right across the parking lot -super close!
