The property is beautiful, the location is perfect BUT the HOA’s pool rules are too restrictive. No matter a child’s age they must be with a parent or guardian or someone 21 years or older. If you sign a waiver then you can allow kids with an 18, 19 or 20 year old. BUT 12 year old son went to the pool thinking my 18 YO was on his way. 18 YO went in the condo to grab something to eat so 12 YO (who is 5’2” weighing 125 lbs in a 5ft pool) was out there for 15 minutes without an adult and they shut our pool code off. The pool hours are also only 9-8p. I won’t rent here again because of how rude and restrictive they were about the pool. If you have young kids and you need to be with them at the pool then it might be great for you, but teens - no! (my 17 year old daughter had to be with and adult at the pool)

Thank you for the acknowledgment that the propery itself was beautiful and had a perfect location. HOAs are a difficult thing to deal with at times. We understand the frustrations and hope we can find a property with a pool on your next vist that wont be as restrictive. We are glad the home and location were postives.
