Lovely Stay

This home is super cute, clean, Ave perfectly located. We really enjoyed our stay. I would have given the proper 5 stars, execpt for a few disappointing things:The back yard was unusable for our dog because past irresponsible pet owners didn't pick up after their dogs. The yard was covered in poop. (The property management did offer to come pick it up.)The golf was a great ammenity; however, the breaks didn't work well. We had a pretty scary moment at a stop sign and quickly brought the cart home and used our truck thereafter. Finally, the kitchen is poorly stocked. There are very few plates, bowls, and glasses. A quick trip to Goodwill could get those cabinets better supplied! Overall, excellent. The
