The host was so wonderful to work with. Place was very family oriented, quiet, and with stunning views of the bay. The condo was very clean and well decorated. We are definitely coming back!
There was nothing we didn't like about this property. The condo was exactly as described. The location was perfect. It was clean and the bed was really comfortable. The view was amazing. I enjoyed just sitting in the living room and being able to see the water. Very relaxing. We can't wait to stay there again.
We really enjoyed the condo. The of the view of the docks were fantastic.
The kitchen was perfect, all of the pans and pots were in perfect shape. The kitchen was perfectly stocked. Very clean and well kept.
The beds were very clean and comfortable. Great place, thank you for a nice quick trip.
The doors are not sealed properly and the wind whistles so loud it was like being in a haunted house. Hard to sleep with the noise from the wind.
The jetted tub had not been cleaned properly and when I got in and turned on the jets, black mold particles came out in my bath water. I had to immediately drain the tub to soap up and shower repeatedly. I still feel gross. Not good.
