Place was great! Clean. Nice kitchen. Great balcony. Washer & dryer makes a big difference for good. Neat golf art and trinkets make for a nice golf feel. Beds were comfortable

Fantastic location and beautiful apartment. Bedroom bathroom on right was giving off a sewage smell that was very unpleasant. After running the shower it did in part reduce but needs some work to fix the problem.

Not as pictured...

Superb location, spotless clean, comfy beds, but not as pictured on the booking images. Comfy couches and armchairs (one main factor of booking) replaced with hideous, hard, upright, uncomfortable chairs - we would never have booked the apartment if the images were current. For just short of 300 per night there are far more "spectacular" options.

This unit sits right next to Old Course, is well equipped in the kitchen and clean. We walked from the unit to so many great restaurants, tours and walks at the course. We wanted to stay longer and will be back. My only small wish list for this unit is possibly a more comfortable mattress. It did not take away from our trip but compared to the hotel beds we'd stayed in over the previous two weeks, the beds were on the too firm side. The location and view made up for it. Thank you.

A beautiful, wonderfully located apartment. Very comfortable for 4. The “how to” was fantastic on helping how to get things working. A few bumps - they sent me the wrong address while I was still in the States. I had no cell service there, so figuring out where to go was tricky. I’d recommend confirming and getting the check-in information before you head off. There is no dryer. Maybe they’ve put one in now. A nice man said he’d drop off a portable clothes drying rack but never did. Thank goodness for towel heaters. I’d stay here again.
