The condo is in a great location and we enjoyed our stay. The entry stairs have a slight eau de dog, but I didn't notice it after the first day. The pool is lovely, but the hours are a bit short, 10-7. The kitchen is well equipped and we slept 3 adults and 3 kids easily and could have squeezed in a couple more if needed.

Great location

This was a perfect set-up for our family, offering a variety of sleeping options, plenty of dishes and cookware, a good common area, and lots to do within walking distance. The owner was kind and helpful and we had no issues. Fit our group of seven well.

Perfect for our family

Everything we needed was already there. We truly could have brought a lot less than we did. We will definitely return here.

Very nice place and the host was great we had a few issues with supplies such as no laundry soap and no tp. We had a several hour power outage one night so we turned it into a star gazing night. Pool and rec room were great. Needless to say nobody wanted to leave
