I found this place online and saw all of the amenities they had to offer. My wife and I checked it out and we loved it. When we first arrived in June of 2016, they let us pick out our spot. We loved it although most of the activities they offered were not available in the summer months. No pool volleyball, no volleyball. As a matter of fact, they take the nets down until they cater to the snowbirds. No Zumba, no aerobics, no Friday night music or snacks by the pool, nothing. They even water the grass at the putting range and horse shoe pits so much to keep it green for the snowbirds that I once lost a sneaker in the mud so forget about putting balls or playing horse shoes because the pits are flooded out. Then when the snowbirds arrive around November, the whole atmosphere of the place changes. The volleyball nets go up and many activities daily to cater to the snowbirds (making sure they come back next year) they seem to not care about the people who are long term through the hot summer months and keep them afloat during the summer months. The staff is all very nice except for the assistant manager, Paula, who seems to forget that you are their customer and instead, treats you like you work for her. She talks to you like you are a little child. She actually told me that I disrespect the staff! When I asked who and I said I have never! As a matter of fact, I recently brought Jennifer in the office Thanksgiving dinner, Espy I have also brought lunch to. I have told all of the landscapers that if they are by my place to just grab a cold drink anytime they want so I was shocked when she said that to me so when I asked who, she said, me. Respect has to be given to get respect in return. Oh and after staying there for over a year, I was told I had to move to a smaller site because my 32 foot fifth wheel wasn’t large enough to be in the spot that I was in and that I had to take a south facing site. Gee thanks! My wife and I then went to Florida for a week (flew) and when we returned back, there was a travel trailer in our old spot smaller than ours. So unless you are a snowbird, I wouldn’t consider coming here. The Canadians are also the rudest people I have ever met. Say hello to them and they will just ignore you. They actually run the place!
