Charisa, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad the property worked perfectly for your soccer tournament stay. We hope to welcome you back soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We were able to access the property in just a few steps from the parking lot. The bed and bunk bed mattresses were extra comfy and we were surprised to find a seat in the shower. Will definitely want to stay there again.

Crystal, we are happy to know that you thought this well-located ground-floor unit was cute and you enjoyed a great stay. Please accept our apology for any confusion caused by the online pictures. Online information is correct to the best of our knowledge. Some of the pictures listed for this rental include property amenities such as the 11 swimming pools, tennis and shuffleboard courts, an 18-hole miniature golf course, and a fitness center. We will forward your comment regarding the pillows to property managers. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Overall stay was okay, minus a few thing's. Cooking ware was dirty, master bedroom mattress uncomfortable, dead flys in master bedroom, ants in kitchen, multiple spiders in bathroom, and unsanitary items fell out of towels rolled up when went to grab one to use it for the bathroom. It's a newly redone condo, it was okay for the price. PCB was great and so was the weather.
