Our unit was as described. Was thoroughly cleaned and fresh for our checkin. The patio overlooking the golf course was a plus for coffee/cocktails with a beautiful view and fresh air. We would stay here again and recommend it to all.

The carpet and floors were quite dirty. Everything else seemed clean and nice. Not much for instructions on how to get more towels or what to do with our trash. Wish they had more dishes available for use it was limited. We did have the propane tank run out and they were very prompt with replacing it. I didn't realize they didn't have laundry which was a real bummer. I would've chosen else where if I had realized but that was my bad.

Great property for a great price, only complaint was it felt like it was run by a large company instead of an individual host. The company was friendly and responsive, but the kitchen was missing some things, the towel towels felt like motel eight, the toilet paper felt like gas station quality, and there was little things like mold in the grout of the shower.
