September 2026

Unit 101 is in a great location. We had minor issues but they were quickly resolved. The GFCI was tripped and would not reset so we had to have maintenance come in and fix it while we were all there. The refrigerator was not cooling well at first but then caught up. The ice maker was broken so that was an issue. We had to go buy ice for drinks. They offered to come back and fix it but we chose not to have maintenance come back while we were there. It was our choice. All in all - we had a great time on our family vacation. Great customer service. Very prompt and willing to fix anything and everything quickly. I would return.
