Aug 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Winter Getaway Easy to book and communication was excellent. We however took a while to find the place so some instructions as part of booking would be great. A few appliances were not working but that did not detract from the visit. Warm, very tidy, exquisite views. Great place to stay. ##### Adrienne L. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodi P. Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property but a Few Bumps in Process The unit we rented was very hard to locate and the lock box didnt work. The host included a map, but wasnt clear to us in the dark where to go. The roads are hard to locate and GSP doesnt take you to the unit. There were no food markets and the clubhouse was closed the whole time we stayed there. Which was the only place to get food. Since we couldnt get into our unit with the lock being broken, we had to change units. The host was helpfull- we had to call her many times. ##### Jodi P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### yasin a. Oct 5, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### There was misleading information on there advertising for this property!! Location-amazing Property-awesome Information-not true advertising Drainage issues..heating problems and tv reception shocking….terrace downs golf resort was more helpful then the property owner or management….next time will rent of golf resort. ##### yasin a.
