Mike and Elaine were super hosts. The condo is Immaculate. They have put a lot of time into making this a beautiful place. Everything is just as it is listed on VRBO. There is everything there that you need for your stay. The gated complex is a beautiful setting and very well kept up. It is close to downtown and all the things to do in the area. You won't be disappointed. We will be back..
