"It had a nice feel to the place, rooms were hot there is no central ac. there is an ac unit but it only made the living room cold. I did not like that you get charged a fee for cleaning but still have to clean. Area is great and quiet but a ton of mosquitoes so bring off. The bathroom is between the two rooms but did not have locks so it’s hard to know when someone is in there. The beach was small but nice kids enjoyed that. Did not like that you are not allowed to smoke outside on the property...

"This house was perfect for us! We were a group of youth male gymnasts coming into town for a meet. Most of us were one gymnasts traveling with one parent. We were all able to sleep in our own spaces... Kitchen was well supplied for all our food needs. And plenty of space for the boys to spread out to play a game, watch a movie, or play electronics too! Grocery was 2 min away. And easy access to the freeway to get from place to place. Wonderful house! Great communication by manager too."
