Everything was very nice. We enjoyed every moment. The condo was clean and it was nice to see the pool kept clean and checked every day. Some places do not do that. The washer seems to be on its last leg but it managed to pull through. It was a lovely condo.

Very nice condo and great rates!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Condo was very clean and mattress was comfortable. Only thing we were a little disappointed to learn the fishing trip that came with iexplore activities that came free with the condo rental was unavailable and the splash pad we previously enjoyed is no longer there. But overall, the condo rental was excellent.

Nice but beds horrible

The property was nice and great location, but when you go on vacation you also want to get a nice night's sleep but not here the mattress are old and very uncomforable. I am sure you make enough money on the property to invest in nice mattresses.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Was perfect location. A few things didn't like the deck door was hard to open. Definitely needs some work. Didn't think the deck chairs were that comfortable for sitting. Never got the tv in tv room to work. Tried several times. But other then that we loved it.

Great place, but the neighbors????

The property next door had an outdoor wedding with reception, which was very loud. Also, the convention center across the street had a car show, so there were loud cars every where. Would check the event schedule prior to staying there again.
