Jim P.Very nice view of wildlife and golf course.
Ave Maria is a nice small quaint community, The National is a bundled golf community still being built. The condo is very comfortable and in a good location. We enjoyed our stay and the golf course and gym. Pools and Tiki Bar and Clubhouse are not yet completed. What is finished is nice and we enjoyed using.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are pleased that you enjoyed our golf condo. We understand the 4 of 5-star review was because the Pools and Tiki Bar did not open fully during your stay. We understand this was disappointing. These amenities are being completed and should open very soon. We are glad you enjoyed our golf condo so much you have decided to stay with us again next year. Looking forward to hosting you again.
Donna and Joseph B.Feels like home!
As you can see from the pictures, this condo is beautifully decorated and immaculate. What you can't see is the breadth and depth Jim and Elena, the owners, have gone to, to make you feel at home. There is everything - and I mean everything - you need and more in the pantry, the bathrooms, and the living space. (My husband and I wanted to make homemade pizza and couldn't believe, lo and behold, a brand-new pizza pan!) We do like to cook, and every spice, cooking oil, pots and pans, utensil, you need is here. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, you will miss from home; yet, it is not overdone. I won't say too much about what you will find, as it would spoil the surprise! I can tell you, we think of the owners, Jim and Elena, as new friends, who truly went above and beyond to make our time here special. As far as the golfing, my husband and son loved the course and the people they met while golfing. I don't golf, but enjoyed riding bikes and learning pickle ball. Some of the other amenities were not yet built, so I can't comment on them, like the pool/clubhouse. The casino is only ten minutes away. There is also a nearby daily farmers' market we frequented. The town, itself, is very welcoming and charming, centered around a beautiful church. Naples is about 45 minutes away and we enjoyed the Vanderbilt beach there. If we weren't building our own home in Florida, we, surely, would be back!

Donna and Joe, we're so pleased you felt all the comforts of home in our condo! We have tried to have everything anyone staying there could want or need. A home away from home! We're so excited that the resort and satellite pools, tiki bar/grill, and fitness center will be completed this summer. We so enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you. Best of luck in your new Florida home! Elena & Jim
