Staying at Papys Preserve exceeded our expectations. The property manager was welcoming and responsive long before we decided to rent, and being welcomed by the extra conveniences and welcome bouquet of goodies raised the bar on our stay. It is our first time staying in a Smart home, and as a baby boomer, it didn't take long to make myself very comfortable with it. Enjoyed meeting the owner and getting his quick lesson on how to take advantage of the perks of a Smart Home. If you're looking for beautiful backyard views, meditative surroundings, beautiful neighborhood with plenty of ways to keep active, and bringing your fur-babies, Papys Preserve is worth the stay. We did try to extend and do hope to return when Papys becomes available again. Thank you, Michael and Larry.
