This place was everything we could hope for a long weekend to make my daughter’s birthday special. Details:
-we stayed in 4 bedroom apartment
-stayed Sunday-Tuesday
-cost was ~ $300
-used all recreational amenities available on base
Pros:
-free WiFi
-cable tv
-Apartments are walking distance to pool & river swimming area
-Apartments were huge for 4 bedroom! Each room had queen bed, dressers, closets, & living room/dining room is huge with pull out couch
-apartments have one tv in living/dining room with DVD player & tv has HDMI input so if you bring cable you can hook up laptop or something
-apartments were stocked w dishes, utensils, pots, pans, & full kitchen
-each bedroom & living room had separate a/c units
-no bugs, apartments were clean & no sign of molding
-good water pressure in shower
-all workers we came in contact with were courteous, friendly, & helpful
-we rented paddle boards, kayaks, & used pool - all very affordable & not at all crowded
-food at pool snack bar was good
-mini golf course is fun & well maintained
-video game arcade available
-mainly private area since you have to have base access to enter
Cons:
-check-in Office was hard to find because we passed it on way in (it is located to the right of the gate PRIOR to you entering base)
-the apartments are seriously dated (even possibly some physical security concerns) but for the price your paying for the need it met (a huge place that won’t cost you a bundle) we easily over-looked the age of the unit & appreciated how well it was maintained
-grounds throughout the small area are not well maintained. Lots of overgrown area so don’t think walking down to the water at sunset is gonna be easily done in flip flops...
-no dishwasher in apartment
-only one bathroom (w no air vent) in apartment w 4 bedrooms...that put 8 of us sharing one bathroom plus this was only mirror in whole place
-no washer/dryer & they don’t provide linen services during your stay so be sure you are hanging towels to dry constantly to reuse
-items not in apartment that u should bring:
—good cooking spray cause the cheap pots/pans have everything stick to them & are very difficult to clean (or just bring your own pans)
—paper towels (really weird they don’t stock this but they stock dishwashing detergent)
—all toiletries (no shampoos, conditioners, or soaps are provided)
—hand soap for bathroom
—power strips (most bedrooms only have one outlet)
—beach/pool towels (not provided anywhere, not even pool had them)
—coffee filters
—groceries
—board games/cards, etc
Totally worth it, we had a blast! Hope you do too!
