Unique Benefits

The view of the golf course cannot be beat! We love to sit and relax in our Ekonos Stressless recliners and watch the golfer on approach. There is a large variety of birds and wildlife we see daily as well. When it is hot, we are steps away, just directly across, from the community pool that is heated when its cooler and cooled when it is hot. It is always just right for a refreshing good time.
