It was great
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
We had a nice stay and plenty of room for the family. The host was great for checking in with us and making sure everything was ok. The dishwasher leaked and he said he’d send someone to fix it. I just told him, we ate out a lot and would hand wash what we used, so he could send someone after our departure. The only thing I was disappointed about was the yard was not maintained as we would expect. They did come mow a couple days after our arrival and graded the driveway from storm wash out. The owners club amenities were great! We definitely enjoyed the pool. The kids enjoyed popcorn on movie nights in the theatre. The shuffle board was one of our favorites along with the Pac-Man video game. Yes I would stay again and check in was a breeze! Got our cardio work out on the stairs and loved watching the wild turkeys daily!
