Thanksgiving
Enjoyed having family together for Thanksgiving. House was even bigger than the pictures indicated and worked perfectly. Property manager promptly addressed my concern related to a full trash can and had another one delivered! We would love to come back again.

Time away when it was difficult.
The property was just as expected. Though we did have a little trouble finding one of the rooms as it is separate. We got in when it was dark and were getting everyone settled for the evening but were short a bed room. One of my daughters pointed out that there was a key for the pool room off of the pool so we check it out and it was the missing room. Anyway the check in and out process was so easy and we loved the location.
