This was perfect - would certainly stay there again

Loved this place. Very comfortable and probably the best pools we've ever had at a place (which was important to us since we came from MN in January)!

Amazing host

This condo was the perfect place for my family and I. We were in town for 6 days for my graduation, and the host Joel made sure that everything went well. The condo was clean, check in was very easy, nice quiet neighborhood, and we had the pool mostly to ourselves. The hot water wasn't working to well but when Joel chrcked in with us, he came to fix the issues next day. The trip was amazing and staying here was awesome! We will definitely stay here again when were back in town. Thanks Joel!

2nd Time Around

I was delighted to find this property available on the right dates for a second visit. My grandkids and I stayed once before and loved it! It’s clean, inviting, beautifully appointed, and has everything you need to enjoy your vacation! Joel is a super communicator and has gone way beyond to make sure your stay is fun and relaxing. The pools are clean. The parking is designated and covered, so never a hassle. The gated community provides a layer of security. It’s just a lovely, conveniently located property. The beds are great, the kitchen has all the necessary stuff and the washer and dryer are huge and clean as a pin. We will be back!

Good stay, with room for improvement

Host was very nice, responsive and provided lots of information. Condo is modern and very nicely decorated, but a bit worn down. Kitchen needs to be restocked (pans are worn, the table settings are not the same and or in various numbers)... we tried to cook for my parents the first night but it was challenging with both space and stuff. Cleaning hadn't been great of the kitchen gear either so we spent a bit of time re-washing. It is a great condo if you plan to eat out most of the time. Most of what you see - both from the condo and when walking/driving in the neighborhood - is parking lots and cars. The pool area closest to the condo is nice and there is a BBQ there. The location of the neighborhood is convenient... close to the airport, close to North Mountain for hiking, and close to shopping, etc. My kids really enjoyed the PacMan machine. Though very bright in the pictures, the condo felt more dark in reality (we were there in December, where it is a little less sunny but we had nice weather). The blind in the guest bedroom didn't work so it was stuck down, contributing to the dark feeling. The heating unit can be quite noisy when on, so not great for light sleepers in the guest bedroom. Owner is aware of the window blind and the frying pans so I am sure those elements will get addressed/improved.

Friendly host not great location

The host was very friendly, the location was not ideal for us. The pool area was nice and the gated community was nice. The neighborhood around the area wasn’t as nice. It was farther away from the places and restaurants we wanted. The main bathroom shower wasn’t the greatest to work either. But the room was clean and everything. Also keep in mind there isn’t shampoo or coffee for the coffee machine! The pool isn’t right outside the door either, it’s a little walk but not bad!

Helpful host

The property is exactly as advertised. One of the most comfortable beds I have had at a vrbo. We Had a group member cancel so we didn't need the property as long as we booked and even though it was a non-refundable booking the host was great at communication and working with us to find a solution that was good for both of us.

Perfect Condo, Perfect location!

The host put his heart into making this condo a welcoming, comfortable, well appointed condo. Clean as a pin and cute as can be! The beds were extra comfy with adorable sheets. The kitchen was supplied with every possible thing you need. We used the cookie sheet to make delicious cookies. The towels were thick and luxurious. The Pac-Man was frosting on the cake! It was so nice to have our vacation enhanced by a wonderful place to call home!

Clean, cozy condo

The condo was great! Check in was very easy, and the owner, Joel, was quick to answer any questions we had. The condo was well equipped with everything you would need, down to a hair dryer and a Belgian waffle maker! The pool areas were very clean and comfortable. We loved that the complex was gated and offered convenient parking under cover. We will definitely stay here again for future visits to the area.
