The neighborhood was quaint and felt safe even at night. Our kids enjoyed the backyard and had some space to stretch out.One tip, if you like to cook, like we do, bring your own big pots and pans, sharp knives and a fold out dining table and chairs for family style meals. Oven worked great, the stove was quirky.They did have great appliances like toaster overs, air fryer and rice cooker - so that was nice! ##### Cindy L.

We found nothing lacking regarding amenities, and, in fact, there’s more than typically provided. The back patio and pool area have a special ambience in the evening with all the twinkle lights, which just enhanced our overall experience. Also, we had the best Italian Cappuccino at Eon the morning we left! Try it - you won’t be disappointed. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Thank you. ##### Nancy C.
