Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
After an hour or 2, and completely unpacking we realized the air-conditioning system did not work. Maintenance offered a window unit for a 2 bedroom apartment or switch rooms. Obviously we packed up and moved. Next room continued to have problems. Not cleaned well, was really dirty and needed to be vacuumed. Pillow cases were dirty and visiblly used wirlth hair and dirt, possibly been on floor. Screen door had a big hole. BUT, the A/C worked. Requested 8 new pillow cases and vacuumed the floor our selves as we did not want to move again. Loved the layout and location, but the Maintenance and house keeping was terrible. The furniture was old and very worn. They were trying sell this as a time share. DUMP!

We will be back!

The space was amazing for our family trip! We stayed at a 2 bedroom apt with living room and kitchen. We were able to right a home. My husband worked 6am-10am every day on our trip, and was excited to have a large desk for his laptop and additional screen he always carries, oh and best part is it was far away from the tv.

The staff was so incredibly lovely, accommodating, and helpful. They really made the stay. Unfortunately, our air conditioner was broken for most of the stay; and, we had to use window units that were noisy and made us feel like the room wasn't well secured. The staff did try to help us; but, it was promised to be fixed by two days after our arrival It wasn't repaired until two days before our departure. Very disappointing.

No high pressure sales pitch

My stay in general was very good. My only issue was the wanted me to go to a time share sales event. I wasn’t having that. I was there for relaxation that I paid for. I did not want to sit through a high pressure sales pitch.
