Thank you, Claudie! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time at our property within the golf community. It's great to know that the apartment and amenities exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay. Tim & Bethany.
The property was as listed. Clean and well stocked. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating to our last minute requests. The unit itself was a bit difficult to locate and the unit door was a bit difficult to open and close. Being on a seasonal golf resort we knew it wouldn’t be busy but wish we knew the restaurants weren’t open until Friday.
