"My contracting team stayed twice here once in April and another in May, I booked it for them again because they were fond it it with the space and cleanliness. No complaints, and the feedback from my team this time was that the stereo was replaced and new from the last time they were there and the roof to the tiki bar was replaced so they were happy to see some upgrades.

"The property is located in a development very close to a main road and with easy highway access. The roads have excellent sidewalks and Lake Miramar is accessible either via car, via sidewalks, or trails. We arrived during the transition time in Spring, with a chill still in the air so did not want to enjoy the pool daily, however, when it did warm up a bit the pool area was loved by the children. The quiet hours conform perfectly to normal sleep/wake hours, so we were especially grateful for...
