Security over the top

The property itself was just as advertised. Really, it was a wonderful vacation for our family. But…I think the people that own property here but that do not rent out do not want renters in their gated community. The rules that the security guards have to inforce are silly. Very annoying.

Beautiful Place with Amazing View!

We enjoyed our stay and would come back! Depending on time of year (we were there March) the pool, even when heated is a little cold. Still amazing and family enjoyed the time together.
