An amazing apartment. Beautiful view of the beach and perfect location for playing golf.

Place was great! Clean. Nice kitchen. Great balcony. Washer & dryer makes a big difference for good. Neat golf art and trinkets make for a nice golf feel. Beds were comfortable
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2024
Fantastic location and beautiful apartment. Bedroom bathroom on right was giving off a sewage smell that was very unpleasant. After running the shower it did in part reduce but needs some work to fix the problem.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
This unit sits right next to Old Course, is well equipped in the kitchen and clean. We walked from the unit to so many great restaurants, tours and walks at the course. We wanted to stay longer and will be back. My only small wish list for this unit is possibly a more comfortable mattress. It did not take away from our trip but compared to the hotel beds we'd stayed in over the previous two weeks, the beds were on the too firm side. The location and view made up for it. Thank you.
