Terra Verde has it all...
Review Submitted: September 9, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
This was our first stay on Terra Verde after always staying on the US27 previously, we were concerned about moving location as we know that end of the 192 very well, but just fancied a change.
We were not dissapointed at all. Terra Verde was 5 minutes off the 192, which meant we could relax after a busy day, but we still felt close enough to be part of everything, and sad though this sounds, Walmart being a mile or so around the corner was really useful.
Our girls loved lazing around at the pool/clubhouse when we were having a few hours chill-out, and I must say this was nicest pool etc we have had so far when staying on a community, the tiki bar was also handy as the girls could get drinks and a snack without walking back to the townhouse (difficult for teenage girls!!!)
The townhome we rented was also far nicer than we expected. Very tastefully furnished, almost as if the owners were interior designers, or had a real creative eye. A lot of thought had obviously gone in to the home as the whole house was presented well and the quality of the furniture and pictures was nicer than we've ever had previously. Everything was clean, fridge, pans etc, which we've noticed were sometimes not checked in previous rentals. The management people obviosly paid attention to detail, and I do check hidden areas for cleanliness (again, sad). The hot tub in the rear courtyard looked clean and welcoming, even though we never used it, it was also free of charge. Most impressive about this townhome were the beds/matresses, actually far comfyer than my bed at home, which I've never said on feedback before!
I suppose to balance this review I must try and think of any weak points...
The carpet in the lounge had a few light stains, and a touch-up of emulsion here and there would't have gone a miss, but I am really fussy, and of course many guests may not look after someone else's home as we did? Half a dozen more towels would have helped, but then my girls insist on one around their heads drying their hair and another around their bodies - and we did have 4 daughters with us!
All in all, everything was superb, I would highly recommend the resort as it has something for everyone, and the townhome was very well laid out, spacious and provided the perfect holiday base.

Owner's Response: We have recently repainted the entire interior of the townhouse along with new porcelain tile and area rugs in the living room, kitchen, lower bathroom, and laundry room which gives our home a "brand new" feel. We have also added several new towels and updated flat panel tv/dvd combo's throughout the townhouse.
