"Loved our stay at this gorgeous condo. Communications and videos were very helpful. My one suggestion is to provide the narrow width of the drive up to the unit at the very start of the booking process because if we had a larger rental car we would never have made it up that driveway, especially the left after the overpass—very tight. We originally reserved a van but changed it to a smaller Peaugot at the last minute. Thank goodness we were able to do this! Other than that—everything was lovely...
