Twin Palms by Book That Condo

So glad we made the last-minute switch! Our original plan was to stay at a different property, but after seeing some less-than-stellar reviews post-booking, we quickly canceled and rebooked here instead. Best decision ever! The Twin Palms unit we ended up in was fantastic—two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious balcony with plenty of seating. We even played cards outside on our first night, which was such a nice touch. The master bathroom was a real highlight—I absolutely loved it! Just wish there were dimmable lights since the brightness was a bit intense. Calling the office was tricky; the phone system needs some work so guests can actually reach someone. That said, emails got prompt responses, which helped a lot. Overall, an amazing stay—we’ll definitely be back!

Laketown Wharf by Book That Condo

The condo was absolutely beautiful—exactly as shown in the photos, with a clean, modern feel and plenty of space. While the resort area could use a little updating, like fresh paint and a bit of touch-up on the door frame, it didn’t take away from our overall experience. What really stood out was the seamless communication through the app—quick responses and helpful support throughout our stay. Location-wise, it’s super convenient: we walked to mini-golf, local shops, and even Walmart was right across the street—perfect for grabbing essentials. And let’s talk about the pools—five of them! We spent hours enjoying the water, never had to wait for a spot, and loved how spacious and well-maintained they were. Overall, a fantastic stay with great value. Would definitely book again.
