We loved all the activities. Always something to do. The house could have been cleaner. There was a problem with big roaches in the sun porch.

Living and learning
Sun outdoors has lots of activities to enjoy from swimming to karaoke how to play the ukulele. For active sports isn’t a Pickleball hierarchy so you can meet your match.
The check in process was quick and the resort staff were all friendly. Our guest contact responded quickly when we had questions. The house was perfect size for us and in a quite area. Beds were comfy. The house was clean... but could use a deep clean at some point. The sunroom has nice shades for privacy. Overall we enjoyed our stay... there is so much to do at sun outdoors.
