Scrapbook Weekend

My friends and I stayed for 4 nights scrapbooking almost every waking hour. The property was in a wonderful location that gave us nice views while we sat and did our craft. It was clean and comfortable. Our husbands came up Saturday to golf and enjoyed the hot tub. Loved our stay.

Fine place for family!

Our grown children enjoyed their stay at Kelly's place. The only issue was the noise from the passing trains across the street. Other than that, Kelly was very attentive when the bathroom sink was leaking, offering to have a plumber come out right away. Thanks, Kelly!

Lovely views

We completely enjoyed our stay. You could not get a more well equipped unit or a nicer view. As many have mentioned, the trains are a thing but they only last 90 seconds. If you are light sleeper I would bring silicone ear plugs and you won't hear a thing!

Great home base for friends trip

The description and photos represent the property, and it was a comfortable spot for the four of us. Even though we didn’t get a chance to watch any movies, we loved that there were vhs tapes (so many movies from our childhood!) and a vcr. The owner Kelly was really responsive and helpful, which helped to make the trip stress free. Each room was comfortable and had plenty of space for two adults and their stuff.

Great property with a beautiful view

My family and I stayed at the property for spring break and were very impressed. The house was clean and perfect for our needs. We really enjoyed the pool being so close and the bikes. The view from the patio is spectacular and it was fun to watch the golfers chip onto the green. The host was also very responsive. My only complaint was the noise level. There are numerous freight trains that run by the front of the house and the golf course groundskeepers start mowing and trimming at 6am every morning.

Beautiful View of the Golf Course & Pond

The location and country club grounds were awesome! The place itself was a bit dated but comfortable and well stocked. The kitchen dishwasher was not getting dishes clean which resulted in previous guests putting away dirty dishes. The owner was made aware & she was looking to resolve the problem.

Gorgeous View

This is the most well stocked condo that we have rented. Everything, from three different kinds of coffee makers, was there. The view from the patio is wonderful - it sits on the golf course with a lake in front of the patio - perfect setting. The condo is well stocked with things like bicycles and pool toys. Communication with the host went great - a couple of small questions came up, not condo related, and Kelly was right on top of it to get it resolved. Bottom line - a great condo and great service!

Beautiful location

Beautiful location. Safe and clean. Owner very responsive. Only issues were difficulty opening lock box (no instructions and very worn/tough to open) and no TV instructions. Fully stocked kitchen. Comfy bed and sheets. Could use some minor updating, like screen door that sticks, toilet paper holders too small for toilet paper, plastic hooks on random walls. Nothing major.

fun in the sun

Condo is in a great location, central to golf, resraurants. We do however have three issues. one is proximity to train, you can hear it through the night. Second we like having something open at night, you can hear the water fountain all night. Third several pieces of furniture have boards in them, not very comfortable. Beds comfortable, everything provided as far as towels, kitchenware.

Gorgeous View

The view from this unit is spectacular and the host, Kelly, never failed to reply quickly to any questions we had from the moment we booked this unit. The bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable and there is a nice separation between the master and guest bedrooms on the upper floor. For those aware of the train that runs nearby, I have to say it really isn’t an issue. The only downside is that there is not an outdoor barbecue and the layout for watching tv in the evening isn’t very comfortable if there are more than 2 people in your group.

Beautiful Country Club but too close to the train tracks.

The landscaping and the facilities of the Country Club are beautiful. There are two golf courses, but both are for members only. The unit we occupied was large and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the owner provided everything we needed. Some of the decorating is a bit dated and the kitchen and bathrooms need remodeling to bring the unit up to five stars. Our biggest concern was the loud noise from the trains that travel frequently day and night very close by the unit.

Relaxing and great location.

Condo is on Palm Valley Country Club grounds on 2nd hole very beautiful area close to shopping. We did not know the train was behind the unit so took us a few nights to get use to that. Property is very clean and kitchen was well appointed. Condo could use a little updating, especially showers and TV room. The TV room holds about 1 person on a hard couch. Worked out fine, decided we did not need to watch it anyway, just enjoyed each other's company and played games that are at the property. Did miss a BBQ would have made the stay almost perfect.

Mixed

Kelly, the owner, is wonderful. Unfortunately, the unit is directly across the street from the train tracks, so noise was an issue at times. There is no grill on the patio. This was the only unit in the complex that I saw without one, which was a big drawback. The sofa in the living room has a board underneath the cushions and is no comfortable. The sound system is dated; it’s compatible with I pod technology instead of your phone, so you cannot stream your music. The stovetop cooks unevenly and is old. Beautiful location, but could definitely use some updates, and people should know about the train before booking.
