Exceptional stay

The condo was beyond our expectations. It was super clean and had the best amenities. The location was outstanding. We walked to historic downtown along the river. Started and ended our days sitting on the balcony overlooking the river. Definitely will be back.

Perfect One Bedroom

Our stay was all PROS…no CONS. The location was wonderful, the patio and view were delightful and the condo was comfortable with a great roomy floor plan. Well stocked and decorated. We watched the world float by on the river and took quick walks into town to dine at restaurants, shop, grab coffee/ice cream and watch the river surfing. We had a most enjoyable stay.

Great View and Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your condo while in Salida for a long weekend. The location is terrific as we walked to downtown, the park, and a cute little yoga studio just down the road. It was so nice to be so near the river - the sound of the water was so restful and peaceful - plus the grill was great for cooking Scanga steaksl. Your condo is very well furnished, plus you had so many extras - condiments, coffee, personal items (if you forgot to bring!) - even laundry soap. We'll definitely be returning to your place on our next trip to Salida - it was wonderful!

Over priced in bad repair

The property is in a high end condo complex in a very desirable location. We have stayed at other units in this complex and those were excellent . However this unit was not properly cleaned, small paper trash in the master, filthy garage with garbage and up to an inch of dirt. Ice dispenser/ water did not function, light bulb missing, only bathing available was a shower which one has to hold the shower head in place the whole time you shower. All this for a price similar to the two bedroom we rented last year and it’s only a one bedroom unit with no central A/C. Rental management co responded but only replace missing bulb. I will never rent a property managed by this co again.

The property itself was pristine, spacious and had a beautiful view/location ride on the river. Unfortunately, the condo was represented as being on a completely non-smoking property, but when a large group of people were smoking, primarily in the mornings and evenings on a balcony, right next to our rental balcony, it made the availability to our balcony and the option to leave our patio doors and windows open untenable. Therefore, for morning coffee and evenings, we were trapped inside. The most disappointing outcome was when we reported the smoking to our property manager, we were told that they would notify the HOA but property owners were only under the jurisdiction of the HOA. The smoking was never resolved throughout the rest of our stay and the Property Manager insisted it was outside their control. I suggested to them that they advertise the property correctly because we would not have chosen to stay there if we had known that smoking was allowed on the property. They offered nothing except apologies.

Nice place this is the second time we have stayed in this condo. Perfect location as you can walk to town and you're right on the river. Only suggestion is to have some drapes or blackout Shades and bedroom as it is very bright in the morning.

The condo has a wonderful location. The property was perfect for the two of us. The weather was unseasonably hot and the main living area is not air conditioned. This was uncomfortable and a disappointment. Everything else was great.

Will return!

This was our second time. We love this condo. Their deck is awesome. Suggestions: It would be an upgrade if there was the possibility of another place to sleep. I had a cold and had to sleep separate from my wife for one night. The couch is not comfortable for sleeping. It’s kind of broken down. The coffee maker was unusable. After making one pot of terrible tasting coffee, we went to Walmart and got a coffee system of our own. It was not operator error; we brought our usual coffee and filters that we use at home with a similar machine. The coffee maker was really dirty and may be uncleanable.
