This is an extremely nice property. The food at Crooked River Grill is absolutely delicious with no skimping on quality ingredients. We didn’t play golf but the course looks very nice. There are some renovations being done to the main pool bathrooms, The fitness facility is a separate cottage and is well appointed. Our condo was spacious and had great views of the pond and golf course. Beds were comfortable and we loved the space. It was certainly functional but there is only minimal interior design. A lot more thought should be given to that and that would take this property to a whole new level. It is extremely nice and functional as is, but some minor details are overlooked that should not be. I highly recommend renting this property!

The resort was very pretty. Grounds are well kept. Facilities are in nice condition. Pretty cool that you have your own washer/dryer in the villas. If you want a beach, there isn't too much close by. Carrabelle beach is about 20 minutes away, nice, but small, and no shops or restaurants near. St. George Island is about 30 minutes. Worth the drive. Good beach, lots of shops, lighthouse & museum, etc.

I rented a 3 bedroom apron arriving they gave me a 2 bedroom so they gave me another 2 bedroom for free. The property looked amazing the staff was very nice but the rooms had there issues. One unit fridge leaked water front toilet wouldn’t fill with water. Toaster was broke did not know till I used it living room fan switch worked but the switch for the light was broke and the light stayed on the whole time. The other unit had bugs and the patio lanterns were not installed and the wiring not capped off and touched and sparked. I own a construction company and checked the breaker and it was on I had to turn it off.

I’m thankful that they offer pet friendly accommodations in the villas. We found the villas to be clean and comfortable. I would suggest the resort manager that they be more specific in listing which villas have stove which ones have just a microwave. As well as what kind of coffee maker the villas have. This info would be beneficial to extended stay guests. Since there’s no grocery stores nearby, we brought a pizza and Keurig K-cups. We couldn’t use either as our unit did not have a stove or Keurig machine. A toaster in the unit would have been nice so we could toast bagels. Bottom line, we would stay there again as it’s a nice area.
