"It was clean and a quiet place to stay while we were in town just over night! It is a little outdated but was well kept and maintained"

Resort Style Gem, Pool, Amazing Slide!!

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent 5-day stay at this property! Pictures depict the state of the home very well. Kids had the best time in the pool with the slide. At the deepest, it is about 5-5.5 ft and tapers to shallow water near the steps. We had a minor snag with the pool during our stay and Maria was very responsive, sending staff over within 30 minutes to resolve. We would absolutely stay again!"
