My family stayed at the end of July and would like to say that the property was managed by very nice staff and our stay was enjoyable. There were not many recent reviews online when we booked, and several older ones were not great, yet I’m glad we took the time to check this condo out.
Below are some things we experienced, both pros and possible cons to some. Please remember this is just from OUR experience.
1. Several reviews have mentioned difficulty with checking in/using the door to the condo. The directions given to us were very clear and we were never locked out. Please note that late arrivals to the condo will need to drive to the office approximately 15 mins away the following day to sign paperwork, but you will only need to do that once. You will be given a code for your door, there are no physical keys. I think the issue with locks that many may have is that you push * before and after the code ONLY when first checking in and upon final check-out, during your stay you only use your code followed by a * to unlock the door. The information and video they share regarding using the locks has detailed directions under it that are worth reading. Everyone at the office was very nice when I popped in the next morning!
2. I never saw a living bug in the condo. It is summer, so I expected a few, but nothing. There are some little lizards that hang out in the screened porch that surely help with bug control.
3. Pool passes are now located in the condo, there is no need to check in with the clubhouse and pay an additional deposit for the passes you need. We used one of the pools and it was very nice.
4. A word of caution for those who like (or expect) freezing interior temperatures, you might not enjoy summers here. The temperature at the condo is not to be set lower than 75 degrees. I personally like a room a little warm, but as I know from living in TX sometimes the AC can’t always cool down properly when it’s very hot and humid outside. The condo will catch up and be cool at night, but it will be warm in the day. This was probably the only thing that I would take into consideration more in the future when renting somewhere here in the south versus getting a hotel.
5. The only small problem we had was a shower head that leaked water on the ceiling, but that was fixed within hours of mentioning it!
6. Be sure to check everything listed in the welcome folder upon arrival and before leaving.
