My family had a wonderful stay! The condo was clean and nicely equipped with things you don’t often find in a vacation rental. Also, the owner/manager was very helpful when we accidentally left an item in the condo. He saved us a long trip back to retrieve it. My family was asking to rent it again for next year before we even left. Great stay and thank you for the memories we made as a family.

Amazing spot, close to everything and clean an spacious
Upon arrival, Tyler, the host checked in and made sure we were ok and the place was clean, and it was. It’s also huge. This condo has great views, and the beds are super comfortable. We came with just my husband and I and our 18 year old and 12 year old. There’s an addition bedroom with a bunk bed which looks to have a king size bed on the bottom. We didn’t come with a boat or really do any lake things, like we will in the future, but we really enjoyed ourselves. The host has left an infinity board, which is basically every board game you can think of on a screen. That was so much fun for the whole family. We spent a day at the water park also. Highly recommended.

Best Christmas Ever!
Stayed over the holiday. The location is close to everything in Arnold’s Park. View was incredible of the south shore of East Lake. Condo was modern style, very clean and well maintained. Has an open view directly onto the lake. Stocked with everything you would need to have a relaxing getaway. Owner gave us clear directions and a very good communicator. Easy access to room and plenty of open parking. Overall GREAT experience and plan on renting again during the summer.
