With a 'gated' community you expect certain standards. Unfortunately, this community has none. About half of the properties are run done, yards are not maintained and many appeared abandoned. However, the property we stayed in was better maintained than many in the area. Unfortunately, we were disappointed overall. The A/C was only 2 window units in bedrooms (not the master). There were dirty towels left from the prior tenant. There was food left in a dirty refrigerator. Many of the lighting fixtures were unplugged, at first, we thought the bulbs were burnt out. Not sure why they were unplugged. There was some property damage that I immediately reported to the property owner as we did not want to be held responsible. The property owner informed me that she was already aware of those issues. At other rentals we have stayed, they usually provide garbage bags. We were told to bag the garbage in white garbage bags, however, only one garbage bag was provided. The property was not as clean as I expected it to be. It was a big let down from past experiences with rentals.
On a positive note, the property owner was very quick to respond to our inquiries and she came across as friendly. She did apologize for the soiled towels being left on our arrival. The community was quiet and there were many deer roaming in the area.
Many of the people in the area are not very friendly. I took the kids to the pool and there was an uncomfortable element present that I felt I could not leave my teen daughter there without staying. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this area as a good place for a family vacation. There were some fun things to do in the area that we enjoyed but we will not return to the area.
