We appreciate your input and hope to welcome you back for an even better stay in the future.
Check in process was great until we walked in the condo it was like walking into an oven the air conditioner wasn’t working so I called the emergency hot line and they couldn’t get anybody out to fix it until the next day so for a day and a half we was there sweating don’t call that as being much fun when you’re there trying to enjoy your vacation
