The rental was clean and has everything we needed to cook and to enjoy the pool and beach. The lake view was peaceful and provided a great view in the morning while eating breakfast on the patio. The kids enjoyed the lazy river and pools. The walk to the beach wasn’t too far from the unit. My family of 5 fit comfortably. We would love to stay in this unit again!

Some of the furniture was definitely used and not comfortable, but everything that we needed was available. We had an issue with the AC when we first arrived and it was taken care of promptly.

Our group has stayed at this property many times now and this unit is solid. While some of the features are a bit dated, it has plenty of space and is a short walk from the beach.

Best Vacation

Our rooms were perfect! It was very spacious, clean, well equipped, and the decor was very pleasing. Our property was a corner room so we had a large wrap around balcony. There was plenty of room so that even when it was raining we could sit out there without getting wet. The view from our balcony was spectacular, looking over the pool and lazy river and the bay. Loved our time there!

Great unit. Could definitely use some new cushions for the patio furniture. Other updates could be good, as well. However, it was priced accordingly.

Family Vacay

We enjoyed our family time in a beautiful area that never felt over crowded. Lots of pool and ocean time! A place that we felt at home in with all the amenities needed. Staff was very responsive with questions. We enjoyed donut shops with our toddlers along with many family friendly restaurants that served great food.

Amazing Stay!

Family of six that stayed for our Spring Break. Great location, very nice pools, gulf view, but short (and easy) walk to the beach. The property was a lot larger than we thought which was great for everyone to have their own space. Will be back for sure!
