Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the amazing condo and its spectacular views. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay!
My family had a great week staying here. When we first arrived we were missing sheets in 2 rooms. I let the office know and there were people there with sheets and towels in about 30 minutes. We did not have any issues while we were there. Everything was nice and clean. We had everything we needed to cook: air fryer, crockpot, toaster, waffle iron, coffee maker… it had everything!!! We look forward to coming back and will definitely be staying here again.
