Loved it Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Mike H., Conway 14 Aug 2017 #### k. When our air went out they had it up and cooling to the 70 degrees we set it on within 3 hours - that was really good. Nice and neat set of buildings in a gated community. The pool was about 95 degrees and the beach is featureless but clean. Older unit, but nice layout. Closest to the beach. Was not as clean inside as expected, but was ok. Price was fair for the unit. The rental folks were friendly and helpful to get our air back on. ##### Mike H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa C., Woodbury, TN 3 Aug 2017 #### Peaceful and beautiful!
