8/10 Good
"The rental was nearly perfect for our family get away. We had a toddler and two infants, and as you can imagine, three bedrooms were great! We even had up to six adults and an additional two kids over for the day and we did not feel cramped at all. The location was excellent - a half mile from the beach, close to shopping and a children's museum. We didn't have to put the kids in the car the entire stay. The pool was clean and truly great for our family. The babies even napped poolside a bit. We didn't participate on the resort activities, but the check in process was smooth and we were able to easily enter our room. My complaints are somewhat minor and has to do with cleanliness - the master bathroom ceiling had mold and the baseboards and nooks and crannies were in need of better dusting. We did have some trouble with the dining table since the chairs didn't actually fit the table, but again very minor. The guest service was excellent and all instructions were super clear starting at booking. Final thought - WE WILL BOOK AGAIN!!"
