It was our second year in a row using GCVP for our summer vacation. Staff was accommodating and accessible. The property was as advertised and extremely clean. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We will continue to use GCVP for all of our SGI needs!

Intially we were surpised to learn that the mother in law suite was located outside. It was not clear on the website. Also the exterior cameras were not welcomed, especially the one towards the pool area.
