May 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday Weeekend at Gulf Harbour Having the lock box at ground level was a pain given the hall lights were not working. Be good if it was at eye level. The property was neat and tidy. Had all we required. Would've liked internet though! Nice being upstairs for breakfast on the balcony. Great having a 4 Square right below us. ##### Kathryn E.
