Nice property great location

We enjoyed our stay very much! The property was extremely clean, temperature control nice, very effective. The kitchen is very well stocked and equipped. We enjoyed the location and close amenities. We brought 2 adults (couple) who shared the king bed and 2 teens who could share the bedroom with 2 queen beds. The other bed option was a pull out sofa. We would definitely choose this property again!

hot tub don't turn on from the button for us we tried several times, water in hot tub didn't fill up before it got cold, fireplace upstairs was fried out fire hazard, upstairs porch was under construction unsafe to have kids in a room like that. also we couldn't use the water park on saturday because we purchased through a third party .

Grand Bear Villa

Overall was very nice. Lots of amenities. Great location. We were comfortable & enjoyed our stay. The unit could use brighter lighting. It was difficult to read even with the lights. It needs some repair on the tile floor in the kitchen. Some were broken & starting to loosen. FYI-the tub combo upstairs is draining very slowly.

Very comfortable townhouse.

We had no issue with the actual townhome however the site advertised that it was within a tenth of a mile to the restaurants and the little down town. This was not true. We needed to drive to town which took about 10 minutes. Also the building letter was not provided with the address when it was first given so it took quite awhile to find the actual unit. Home itself was very clean with comfortable beds. It could use some brighter bulbs as not much natural lihht is available.

The up keep of the property should be betterIt needs a new king size bed,more comfortable You can tell it's cheap and old. Also need a new refrigerator, rust in the freezer is bad. Cracks in the tile in the kitchen should be repaired. The hot water is turned up way to high, very dangerous.The caulking in the bathrooms is horrible.
