Cons

High Association Fees: The property carries a substantial association fee of $965.0 per month, which could significantly impact the overall cost of ownership or rental profitability.
Potential for High Occupancy Turnover: While beneficial for income, the allowance of short-term rentals in a resort community can lead to frequent changes in neighbors and a less stable community feel, potentially affecting privacy and quiet enjoyment for full-time residents.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: As a villa, the private outdoor space is limited to an expansive view patio, which may not satisfy buyers seeking a larger private yard or garden area, common in other La Quinta properties.
