The parking lots and all the cement thoroughfares are cleaned by using leaf blowers. There is pride in the landscaping and it’s that time of year that things really green up and grow. "

"We had a quick springbreak trip with our kids, and had a blast! Right outside our window was the beach literally walking steps away. We had so much fun we wished we booked another night. Got to meet some pretty great timeshare owners too! We heard about some beach toy rentals in other reviews and were able to cop a few for our kids to play with while at the beach. So save your dollars and go to the front desk. All appliances and utensils came in handy as well as we had a bbq and breakfast...
