My husband and I loved our stay here! The room was very nice and clean! Perfect location in terms of distance from downtown TC. We went cherry picking at Rennie’s, only about 10 mins away from the condo! There is also a Meijer pretty close by. The bed was very very comfortable! The view from the balcony was also very pretty. No complaints at all, the host is also very kind in communicating!

The TV didn’t work. I’d recommend a countertop or pizza oven. (I bought a frozen pizza and had no way of cooking it.)

I’m sorry to hear that the TV didn’t work. I’m not sure why it wasn’t as we haven’t had this issue before or after your stay. if you would have reached out we would have remedied it right away. Thank you for the feedback regarding the pizza oven this is an unusual request but we will give this consideration for the future. Thank you for your feedback.

Convenient Location

The longer we stayed the more we loved this studio unit. The space is perfect for two adults. The studio was spotlessly clean with new linens. Access to the beach area on the property is very close and there's one of the best city parks (clean, well designed) along the bay located right next door. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Great Stay for 2 - mattress needs some work

Very clean and nice location. Beach was amazing. The mattress was very rough. My wife and I’s backs hurt each morning. Plan on eating out as cooking is difficult. Would recommend for a couple needing a get away.

Thank you for staying with us! Sorry to hear that the mattress caused you and your wife challenges. i It’s a brand new Westin Heavenly mattress set with rave reviews but everyone has their own preferences. Happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay in spite of it.

Hotel room sized condo with a view

This place had everything we needed out of a weekend rental. Comfy bed, great view of the lake. Kyle and Dawn were nice enough to upgrade us to a place with a bit better of a view since we were staying for our anniversary. How thoughtful! Only comment is that there is no blow dryer in the unit, which is not a usual situation. I didn’t bring my own since I’ve never stayed some place that didn’t have one so that’s my fault I suppose. Overall great experience and we would come back.

Great location

My family and I stayed one night. Our kids really enjoyed the beach even though we didn’t have great weather for the beach. The condo was close to restaurants in town and not far from the local wineries. The space is a little tight for 4 people, however we only stayed one night so it wasn’t that big of a deal. This place was neat and clean. A big thank you to Kyle and Dawn for making our check-in simple and answering our questions in a timely manner. Thank you so much for having us Stay.
