Quaint condo, nicely decorated with all the conveniences of home. The complex is quiet and well kept with nice pools and picnic areas. The bridge over the lake offers good fishing and turtle watching. Definitely happy with our stay.

If you’re thinking about staying here…DONT!!! RUN!!!

So we arrived very late (11pm) & was very tired so really didn’t pay attention on Uber ride there, got in & went to bed. The next morning I went for a walk/run & realized it wasn’t the ideal location I’d have ever picked but we would make it work as we didn’t plan to be there much since we had activities planned for our whole trip. Went to take a shower when returned from walk/run….no cold water in bathtub. So contacted host & maintenance came quickly and advised this had happened before but had yet to be properly fixed & if happened again just tighten the screw. Anyway I can do that, whatever…not a big deal. So that evening myself & 17 yr old daughter went to dinner and when we returned the door would NOT open. The code worked as it turned green but lock just spun & door was still locked. After 2+ hours of trying to contact host & 1.5 hrs on phone with VRBO, I was advised to call the authorities to keep us safe for the night since ALL hotels were sold out. So here it was after midnight & myself & 17 yr old daughter are walking and taking Ubers to any hotel we can find on google that has a possibility of vacancy. We did finally find one & got to bed around 130am. The host did finally contact me at 7am the next morning. She did someone out with a master key to open condo & it took a long time because the lock was completely broken. We were able to get in, get our things. Yes, this was she trip we will never forget but it’s definitely NOT for good reasons!!!
