Thank you for your comments. We do have three types of coffee makers ... The garage holds one car and a second can be parked on the drive way or safely on the street. All cars need parking permits. Safe travels!

The condo was exactly as described. Early mornings, sitting on the patio enjoying coffee and watching the variety of birds, then the variety of golfers, was awesome. Two pools were close and quiet. Parking in garage, out of the sun, was another great feature. We would definitely chose this property again!

Thank you for your review. In your personal message to me you only said you enjoyed your stay. We believe the photos and description of our townhome are accurate. Updates are being considered. I think you are referring to the primary second sink in need of repair. There is still a useable sink in the primary. We are talking about updating the bathrooms. We are happy you enjoyed your stay.

Scrapbook Weekend

My friends and I stayed for 4 nights scrapbooking almost every waking hour. The property was in a wonderful location that gave us nice views while we sat and did our craft. It was clean and comfortable. Our husbands came up Saturday to golf and enjoyed the hot tub. Loved our stay.

Fine place for family!

Our grown children enjoyed their stay at Kelly's place. The only issue was the noise from the passing trains across the street. Other than that, Kelly was very attentive when the bathroom sink was leaking, offering to have a plumber come out right away. Thanks, Kelly!

Lovely views

We completely enjoyed our stay. You could not get a more well equipped unit or a nicer view. As many have mentioned, the trains are a thing but they only last 90 seconds. If you are light sleeper I would bring silicone ear plugs and you won't hear a thing!

Great home base for friends trip

The description and photos represent the property, and it was a comfortable spot for the four of us. Even though we didn’t get a chance to watch any movies, we loved that there were vhs tapes (so many movies from our childhood!) and a vcr. The owner Kelly was really responsive and helpful, which helped to make the trip stress free. Each room was comfortable and had plenty of space for two adults and their stuff.

Great property with a beautiful view

My family and I stayed at the property for spring break and were very impressed. The house was clean and perfect for our needs. We really enjoyed the pool being so close and the bikes. The view from the patio is spectacular and it was fun to watch the golfers chip onto the green. The host was also very responsive. My only complaint was the noise level. There are numerous freight trains that run by the front of the house and the golf course groundskeepers start mowing and trimming at 6am every morning.

Beautiful View of the Golf Course & Pond

The location and country club grounds were awesome! The place itself was a bit dated but comfortable and well stocked. The kitchen dishwasher was not getting dishes clean which resulted in previous guests putting away dirty dishes. The owner was made aware & she was looking to resolve the problem.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 May 2022
Thank you for your four stars and notifying me personally about the dishwasher. It’s already been replaced. While our townhome may seem dated, built in the 1970’s, we are continuously making improvements, while keeping some of its original style. The W/D, TV, fridge and now dishwasher are all brand new. We have keep the rental cost in the lower market, and believe our description and photos are accurate. I really appreciated your thoughtfulness and your care while staying here. Thank you and safe travels

Our townhome was a family weekend and vacation destination for many years. We have only rented the home to others the last few years and did not rent last year, only because we thought we may move in full time.
