Perfect location, lovely home

Our family found this condo last minute when our vacation plans abruptly changed. It turned out to be one of our all-time favorite places. The highlights- nice walking trail by the golf course, close to the marina where we rented a pontoon boat, super friendly and helpful staff, lots of games & videos to use, comfortable beds & well appointed kitchen, and a host that was really great to communicate with.

Good property

This is a good property to stay at. We had ZERO communication from the owner after booking. You give one name for the checkin desk like two days after your reservation is confirmed. Which is fine but typically you get a reminder note on check in day to remind you of what the check in is. Very clean. Not a golf course view it is a parking lot view. Great location to courses, restaurants etc.

Spacious lake condo.

The condo was everything advertised plus. I don’t feel that the photos do it justice. Great floor plan that is very family friendly. Condos were very well stocked and staff attentive and accommodating. My one and only complaint is the lack of an elevator. That being said, we will happily stay here again.

Lovely and spacious with beautiful views

The condo was very spacious, private and clean. The game room had lots to do with the kiddos. We spent two days at the pool. The pool area offers lots of chairs and great views. The kiddy pool was closed the whole weekend and the hot tub was closed until the last day of our stay but it was still a good experience. It was peaceful and not over crowded at all. The staff was extremely nice, helpful and informative. We would recommend snacks, drinks and travel items be offered for purchase if needed. The two vending machines only took cash and it was not convenient. Overall we loved our stay and will be back!

Family Getaway

The actual room we stayed in was wonderful, 3 bedroom, 3 baths, large comfy bedrooms. My husband and 2 adult children thought the mattresses on the beds were the most comfortable we have slept on away from home. Since we golf, we loved the location being right across from the golf course, I loved the patio we could set on. We did cook in the room while we were there and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our property manager Jan was great, we had to change our dates at the last minute and that was handled without any problem. The property as a whole is dated, we stayed on the 2nd floor, there are no elevators. We had a lot to carry to the toon and the normal luggage carriers were of no help. WiFi was not included, the pool was small and the water did not look clean so we never used the pool. All the other areas were closed due to covid. We had friends with properties in the area and boats we could use so we still had plenty to do. The lodge/restaurant and marina are within walking distance of this property. The front desk was helpful but at check in the process was more about what was not included and the limitations than being helpful or positive. The ‘new’ 10 am check out requirement was a surprise but did not effect is this time. Our family had a wonderful time while staying at this property. Again, the room/condo itself Was absolutely perfect, large, met everything we needed.
