Great little place

The property is very nice and tucked away in just the right spot where it’s not super busy. The decorations were nice and calming and it had everything you need besides just groceries. They had a full inventory of dishes and silverware, as well as any appliances you could think of (and even some you may not have thought of). The only negative things were 1) the floors hadn’t been properly cleaned in what seemed like months, and the sheets were not very comfortable. The sheets were kind of scratchy to be honest. The wife and I were overall very pleased with the unit and will be booking again

Will not rent or recommend

There was absolutely nothing about the inability to purchase another wristband. The door didn’t function properly - after 30 minutes of trying to get in and another 15 min wait on hold with the property manager we were told “oh that door sticks”. The linens on the bed smelled as if they were not washed and there was sand in the bed! The dryers didn’t dry things properly. The iron in the room spit out something white all over and expensive shirt of mine and ruined it. Will never stay again!
