This place is great for family and kids who love games! The couch and kitchen was very spacious, stocked splendid. The only confusion I had was it is on the resort site but you cannot access the waterpark on weekends, I would emphasize this in the listing more - and show outdoor pics, one of the door to make it easier to locate. Overall clean well stocked kitchen, excellent A/C, comfy beds and couch. We loved it!

The location was great; it was so dark in the place lot of lights burned out, it was hard to see to play shuffleboard, some of the women complained about the bunk beds being hard to sleep on. This place would be great for someone with children. But all in all was a good stay.

The sheets had sand in them so we had to wash the bedding upon arrival. We contacted the host about loud neighbors (so loud they couldn’t hear us knocking), but never heard back. The place was nice and spacious but the games got in the way. This is part of Grand Bear Resort which is past its prime. Lighting was awful and the upstairs got very hot if the curtains were open. Great location to parks. Decent stay, but likely won’t be back.
