Wonderful

Nice units. Very clean. Universal location. Be reminded your neighbours (5-6 other units) can see and hear everything you do and vice versa.
The pool wasn’t heated. After several talks with manager finally agreed the pool heater was turned off or broke. I would confirm pool temperature PRiOR to booking.
Units have ample amenities. Everything else worked as advertised.

Wonderful location with a view
This is great location with an incredible view of a bay just off of Vaca Cut. We didn't have a boat, but would be even better with the dock on the property. Mangroves on side of property across from canal make this feel very secluded and natural, there is a mangrove island you can kayak or paddleboard around.
