The layout of this condo and the tv, dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, microwave and traditional coffee pot with coffee were great. The condo is upstairs on the second floor which allows for wonderful view from the outdoor deck. A/c and ceiling fan kept us cool this hot summer. We will definitely stay here again!
