Great complex and fully stocked unit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great spacious unit right across from playground and fully stocked for cooking. We always stay at this complex. It’s great for families and across the street from Whitecap beach. Property was clean and management is great. The unit will be due for new furniture soon as it’s showing signs of wear and tear. It was still very clean though.
