We had a few hiccups on our stay. We got there and the door was already unlocked, when we went to leave for dinner we couldn't lock the door due to dead batteries. We contacted Kenneth and he showed up immediately and replaced batteries. While we were out we let him know we intended to use the hot tub during our stay but when we checked it the water looked low and when we got home it was full, freshly cleaned and warming up for us. We picked this place for the hot tub, pickle ball court and rooftop deck ( which we didn't get to use due to weather). We really enjoyed the pickleball and hot tub. A couple things we did see was in the images the rooftop deck has giant Jenga but the set on the roof was actually about a foot tall and very worn. (turned out ok because it rained most of our trip) We were missing a shower door, which made water clean up fun and the shower a little breezy. Had to exit thru the side door and carry items across couch because our front door stopped unlocking.
