Everything was great except the sheets were too small for the bed in the.master bedroom. The fitted sheet kept coming off and we had to sleep on mattress pad half the time.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The individual unit we stayed in was just fine. However, the grounds around the pool were atrocious. They need a full lawn care attack. There were weeds growing along every wall and fence line. There were sticker burrs growing adjacent to the lower stair walkways. The planter beds had not been cleaned out and replanted in years. Some pool furniture was damaged and unsafe. The grounds man did pick up trash each morning, but that is all. There cigarette butts everywhere. We toured a unit that was for sale and it was very clean and nice. We were just turned off by the poor shape of the pool area and the rock fountain that we will not purchase a property there.
