Property was clean and air conditioning worked exceptional given it was 95 outside in July. Unfortunately no air hockey as advertised, replaced by a poker table, the coffee pot was worn and took 20 minutes to work. Not sure this can be helped but when we opened the porch umbrella about 6 bats flew out that gave the ladies quite a scare. Thankfully they didn't return for the 4 days we were there. Location is great and being up in the tree canopy was fun. Overall, a positive experience just a few minor niggles to make the experience better.

The house is great, clean rooms, comfy beds, furniture is nice, the kitchen well appointed. The only issue was the hot tub cover is not properly installed so we could not open it fully. The area around the hot tub was full of leaves and dirt. We tried to sweep so as not to track the dirt into the hot tub. Only 2 of us could fit in at a time since the cover was only halfway opened. Other than that, everything else was great. Regards, Cathy Palmeri

We enjoyed our stay, the property fit out needs. We appreciated prompt response to something that needed fixed. We found the pictures on-line of the property were not current- overall not that big of a deal, with exception of the game room which showed a shuffleboard type of table that was not there. We have provided the recommendation to the host to update the property pictures. Would recommend staying there, and would stay again in the future.

Reviewer Comments:
The Property was just as it was described minus the damage to the air hockey table. The table had a hold in the table close to one end goal area. The hole caused an escape of air that made the game next to impossible to play. This was the only game in the unit, and one of the deciding factors in selecting this unit. The damage should have been disclosed to me before I rented the unit. Had I known the damage, I would have chosen a different unit. For this reason, the management company gets a very low rating for their lack of oversight and reporting to people renting the unit. The rest of the unit was fine. Hot tub worked well, bedrooms were comfortable, and kitchen was well stocked.
