    Hosts were fabulous throughout this whole process and extremely responsive! This unit is just as described and makes for the perfect vacation! The ease of reserved parking, gated community, AMAZING sunsets from the wrap-around balcony and outstanding restaurants nearby are all an added bonus! This was our 2nd time in this 8th floor unit and already look forward to returning!! Just an all around great, clean, well supplied unit for family vacation!

    Beautiful unit and excellent for families! It was impeccably clean and had the best AC of any unit we have stayed in to date! Beds were very comfortable and updated master shower was great. Walking distance to many restaurants was a plus. All appliances in the kitchen worked and it was stocked with everything we needed. Although there are 23 floors, the elevators are incredibly fast. If you forget something in your unit you can go back up and down in less than 5 minutes. Worlds of difference than other places we have stayed where you spend a lot of your day waiting on elevators. View from the balcony never disappoints. Would definitely book again.

    This condo is nice and would stay here again. The guest toilet had a leak but was fixed promptly. The guest tub may need the drained cleaned because it seemed to be backing up. The main bath could use another set of wash clothes and towels. Also could not locate any pot holders in the kitchen so had to fold kitchen towel to get pans from oven. Since it was a family trip, we did cook but the room had all necessary items you’d need.

    What a great experience in this 3 bedroom corner condo! Everything was just as described and check in was a breeze. Condo has plenty of room and everything you need. My favorite was the wrap around balcony - amazing sunsets from this 8th floor unit! I cannot wait to come back to this condo for our next vacation. I did not want to leave!
