The Scimitar Ridge Ranch main lodge is on a beautiful property with ocean and island views on the horizon. The Lodge itself is also a beautiful building, but has several problems. It is a great property for younger agile customers, but no so good for older folks with mobility issues. Their advertisement claimed they had an elevator, which is one reason that we booked it for a large multi-generational family reunion for a full week. Yes, there is an elevator physically present, but it does not work and we called to complain to the property manager, who lives in Florida. He said that he told the local maintenance guy to fix it, but the local guy said that the elevator had not worked for the past 2 years. Sounds like false advertising to me. Also the pool and hot tub are located one story below the main floor, so you had to struggle up & down the stairs for pool access. The entire pool area does not have a single handrail anywhere for access into the pool or hot tub. Most of these problems are possibly due to its age, built in 1992 as a private residence, with no handicapped access codes to meet. As a rental property, it really needs to be brought up to code. The main floor has a beautiful modern kitchen and dining room, but the central family area is a large sunken living room, not easily accessible for a walker or wheelchair. There is no central air-conditioning and June was pleasant enough, but July or August might get too hot? The local area is beautiful.
