Clean, attractive unit

The TradeWinds unit was as described. Clean and had what we needed. Everything worked. The swimming pool was small for the number of guests and children and there were not enough lounge chairs or room for them. The pickleball court is a nice plus, but definitely needs to be fenced.

Great location and property

This was a newer construction so everything was in great shape and not worn down as some other rentals could be. It was a great size for our family and had everything we needed.
