The townhouse I stayed in was in a great location to the tennis courts, which is the reason we were there. It was very clean, well stocked, and the beds were very comfortable! I loved the owners touch of their kids pictures there. Very sweet.

The location was spot on for playing a tennis tournament right next door. The bed was super comfortable, and the living room was a good-sized room to relax in. The door lock was a little confusing, but we figured it out. Overall a great stay.

The beach is superb. The golf courses are very good but terribly expensive hence a bad rating for The Ocean Course. The transport system works well enough but the Convenience Store is not a quality outlet.
