Beautiful Location and lots of space!
This house is dated, however, everything was clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. There is plenty of space with very comfortable beds. The Master Bedroom facing the bay is ENORMOUS! The kitchen is stocked with anything you may need and they even provided a wonderful gift basket with snacks upon arrival. The property manager met us and gave an initial tour of the property, which was very nice. There are many remotes for fans and lights, so you need the information he shares. :-) There is plenty of parking and the property is gated and private. The pool heater wasn't working, so we were a bit disappointed with that and didn't get to use the pool.. also, the golf cart is an extra charge per day, so be prepared for that payment if you want to use it. It is great to have it though! You can run around in the local town for dinners, a fancy coffee or ice cream without having to move your car.
