Two golf carts are included in the rental. The beach, swimming pool with kiddie pool, playground, tennis and basketball courts, cardio room, and weight room are all just a fun five minutes away on the golf cart (approximately 9/10 of a mile). Golf carts are provided for your convenience. But, we have no control over maintenance issues that occur from time to time. They are serviced prior to rental season. But, should something go wrong with the golf carts during your stay, we are unable to provide refunds or discounts, but will attempt to get them repaired as soon as possible, hopefully during your stay!
