Fully secure yard. Blankets supplied for dogs. Close to wonderful dog walking areas around Acacia Bay. The apartment had everything we needed. Beds were luxurious. Our only negative comment would have to be was that it could use a deep clean to rid of hanging cobwebs and dusty areas. Would definitely stay again and recommend to dog friends. The morning view over the lake was stunning as we ate breakfast outside. ##### Amanda L.
