    My family and I have stayed in this particular community for 4 years now and still love it! This was the first year we decided to try out a new house and I can say it was the BEST decision. I would not change a thing about this house other than maybe 1 thing.. since the house sleeps so many people, it would have been nice to have a 6 seater golf cart vs a 4 seater. However we made it work with no issues. We were grateful to have a golf cart no matter the arrangements that needed to be made. Communications was quick and easy. Overall, my family will continue to book with this house in the future!
