"The pool was heated which made it nice to enjoy the pool as early as 8:00 AM- until closing at 10:00 PM. They provide towels and a gnome scavenger hunt that we enjoyed doing together as a family on the property. The staff were all very friendly and they provided a map of nearby restaurants and shopping stores. We will be back next year for Spring Break vacation!!"

"We were quite impressed with the property and the staff. What we didn't like is that by using VRBO to book the venue, we were charged a resort fee and a cleaning fee that would not have been charged if we had booked it directly. There would have been absolutely no difference in the unit. The resort fee and cleaning fee WAS accurately stated in the online ad and in my email so I'm not complaining about that. My dislike is that the 2 fees I was charged (and paid) were in my opinion unnecessary...
