I was able to retrieve the post!!! Here it is!
Hi Beth!
Sorry for not posting this earlier - I just havent made it back to reality yet
Paul's townhouse was wonderful! I didnt really take photos of it, but it was 100% accuratly represented on his website. (the pictures on the website look a bit stretched - if that makes sense; the rooms arent as large as the look, but still plenty of space). The Kitchen had all you could want - if there is something specific you are wondering about let me know, but basically everything from a colander to a cutting board. The bathrooms do come with a roll of toilet paper each, but it is a very small roll - my suggestion is to bring (or purchase) additional. The master bedroom has a alarm clock, but the other two bedrooms are without. Each bedroom had a ceiling fan, TV and DVD player. There is an ample supply of towels, and extra bed linens. There is a washer & dryer - which I used with no problems. A playstation game system is provided and there were 3 family friendly games for it. (
Lego Starwars was one) The dining room table seats 6. THe living room has a sofa, loveseat and a chair. There were atleast 3 hairdryers that I noticed (2 under the master bath cabinet and one in the twin bedroom bath...I didnt check the other bath). The pool was about 12' x 12' or so about 4'-4-1/2' deep. It has a few "seats" around it - kind of like an oversized hottub (ish). We paid for the pool heat (and oh boy did we use it!) The management company had it preset for us, but Paul had sent directions on how to adjust it if we wanted to. We turned it up and it was too hot!! The continually adjusted it until it got back to comfortable (which is basically right where it was preset at). I would say most of our time in the pool was just as an after the park, evening relax time. There is a small concrete deck around the pool (probably 18" each side) {I can e-mail you a picture of it if you want - I cant remember how to post pictures here}
The management company was easy to find - it is about 6-7 miles away. It is on 192 directly accross from the second Publix you pass after Windsor Hills. They were very friendly and the check in process took about 5 minutes. No checkout was required - just lock the door and leave. I didnt see anywhere how to handle towels, linens, etc at checkout so we jsut gathered the towels and put them by the washer and left the beds unmade. We havent heard that was wrong, so I would say no action was really required on our part. We also ran the dishwasher before leaving.
The location of the townhouse was good. It was very quiet. This will make sense when you get there, but after entering the community, you will turn left at the first street, then right, then RIGHT (even if the security guard tells you left, right, left) ...this is important because most of the street is to the left, but Paul's unit and 2 or 3 others are to the RIGHT. The driveway is large enough for one car, but there is additional parking accross from the townhouse.
I guess I have rambled on on my review of the townhouse, but I wanted to cover it all. Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions. I could have left something important off

My review is excellent and I would stay there again.
Take care,
Cathy
