We love cottage A as we stayed there before. It seemed a little tired- sun bleached two orange chairs in windows and Roman shade on windows missing with a flimsy paper covering in place. Need more hooks or towel bars with wet suits, bath and pool towels—no place to hang.

Very beautiful planned community but at this time not enough people live there year round for me to consider moving.
