4 stars cuz nobody is perfect

We were provided facial soap bar; shampoo packet; body lotion packet. Not sure if there was additional of those avaiable as they were only enough for one day. Coffee was fresh. Not stale. But sweetener would have been a nice touch. Again one day supply of coffee. The balcony lights were bright and kind of a deterrent to sitting out at night due to the glare. Tried to find a switch to no avail. This first part of this review is feed back for improvement only as overall this was a nice property and is well managed at a reasonable price. The location is beautiful! My boat club is located here(Freedom) and we went boating here .The Sunset Grill was an awesome place to end the day and watch the sunset!
