Blue barracuda

The cabana is very cute. Perfect for 2 couples. We chose it because it was close to the golf course. Unfortunately the golf course had been dug up for a housing project. So we never got to golf. We went lots of places and saw lots.

The patio was not that clean. Bikes were flat, kid toys on ground and it wasn't even organized. The mater tv was not working. Communicated with owner and they said they would fix it in a week. The freezer was leaking to fridge. I had to take block of ice out of freezer and clean freezer and put a little container in fridge so water wouldn't go on our food. Again a week to get fixed. Place is really cute, but had some issues.

Everything was mostly great. The only issues is the front gate needs work and the courtyard had a lot if weeds. The bikes were super appreciated but my husband had to fix the tires to make them rideable. The chair in the main area was a problem as every time we moved it to use the Murphy Bed the legs fell off. Everything else was great! We loved the location and the convenience.
