8/10 Very good

Great location, terrible check in

Property is clean and in a great location, made the quick (30 mins with no traffic) drive over to Ana Maria island for the beach. The check in process was a bit of a nightmare due to a disconnect in communication at the front desk. Took an 1 hr and 45 mins to get sorted. Bad experience after a 2 hr drive and kids in the car excited about hitting the beach/pool.
