Julie is a great host, adding personal touches to the decor and great appliances that worked well. The laundry room was relatively clean, but we didn't go into the pool area at all. It was relatively quiet for a place with lots of full-time residents. We loved the easy walk to Front Street for everything and an easy drive (1 traffic light) to Subway to get sandwiches for day trips or late dinner after a long day of doing touristy stuff and just wanting to kick back. Safeway is also very convenient (just a few traffic lights away), and my husband found a kale salad there that we both enjoyed for a couple meals. Make sure to always take trash out each day so there are no bugs. Follow directions for TV with excellent cable and comfortable furniture in great room.
