Overall, the property was okay. We had a safe place to sleep. Neither of the tubs held water long enough for our kids to take a bath and two of the five nights the water went cold after only 3-4 minutes of running the water. It took about 35 minutes afterwards until we could get hott water again. The listing said the property provided a "starter pack" of towels and paper towels for the entire visit (we stayed 5 days), so we had to do laundry every day. It would have been nice to have an additional pack per person so we didn't have to worry about laundry everyday. Similarly, they only provided 1 dishwasher pod, so we had to hand-wash all dishes whipe we were there. Again, not a deal-breaker, but not something you want to have to worry about while on vacation. Lastly, if you book, just know that the HOA doesn't allow golf carts on site. This would have been nice to know ahead of time because we had to resort to driving some places and pay for parking. It's not a deal-breaker, but it would have been nice to know, especially traveling with little kids. I'm thankful that we had a place that was a block from the beach, but I hope the above feedback helps others make an informed decision on booking and packing.
