Very pleased with our stay! My only complaint was the mattress was extremely uncomfortable to us but we reached out and they sent us two mattress covers which def helped!

We had a wonderful stay! The location was very close for the ball tournament and activities were close by. The property itself everything we needed. We would defiantly recommend!
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
Enjoyed this property. Great location if you don't need to be on the beach. Unit seemed older, but has been updated nicely. My only complaints are that the parking lot needs to be resurfaced, and the gate wasn't working.
