Convenient to town, quiet stay, great amenities
Very convenient to town and the ball fields (we were in town for a tournament and vacay) set up was very basic but met all our needs for our large party. We basically had the pool to ourselves each day! The hosts were super quick to respond and were very helpful!

Convenient area and Pet friendly Property.
The property was very comfortable for our party of 7.
I did frown at the part of first come first serve visitor parking, but we did not experience any issues at all returning late night with 2 vehicles, plenty of visitor parking spots.
Easy access to the property and good communication. Definitely will return when in town.

Great place for a family. Close to Busch Gardens
This was a great property for the price. It had everything we needed for our family of six. I loved that each room had its own private bath. The cool was nice and the weight room was well equipped. The host was easy to communicate with and took care of any concerns or requests we had really quickly. I would definitely stay here again.
Also, don't let the fact that it is student housing bother you. The complex was quiet and peaceful the entire time, even the weekend.
