Great Vacation Home

The home and location were perfect, and everyone enjoyed the amenities. Our only issue was the golf cart as we were unaware you had to be 25 to drive it until after the reservation was booked. Although not a huge deal as you can walk to the beach, pool and pickle ball court, it was one of our reasons for selecting the home during our initial search.
