*Monthly reservations during our popular winter months (January, February, and March) MUST be booked from the 1st to the 1st. **Remaining off-season monthly stays must be booked for a FULL month (i.e. 1st to the 1st, 6th to the 6th, 27th to the 27th, etc)
We stock the property with all basic kitchen utensils (dishes, glassware, flatware, pots, and pans). Our cleaning company provides a starter pack of toilet paper (2 rolls per restroom), paper towels (2 rolls in the kitchen), sponge (1), trash bags (3), dishwasher tablets (3), bar soap (1 per restroom), make-up wipes (2 per restroom), hand soap in the restrooms, and dish soap in the kitchen. We supply enough bath towels for the maximum occupancy of the unit, and half the guest count for hand towels and wash cloths. There is a washer and dryer in the unit for you to use at your convenience! We recommend for guests to bring any food, toiletries, and beach towels they may need during their stay!
The cleaning fee covers the cost for cleaning to come in, and flip the unit for the next arrival, especially during the summer when we have a four-hour turnover time. While the cost may seem high to some, this includes the starter pack of supplies in the unit, washing all of the linens and towels, and completely cleaning and sanitizing the unit for the next guests arrival. This is why we kindly ask you to remove all trash, run the dishwasher, and just put the linens and towels in a pile. If these items are not completed, it then causes the cleaning crew to spend extra time doing these tasks, which we have to charge the guest for. By the guests completing these tasks, and not leaving the unit excessively dirty, we are able to get cleaning in and out during the four hour turnover, and this is also how we are able to accommodate early check-ins! While this may not always be the case (sometimes we may have 20-40 turnovers in one day), we strive to accommodate guests and their schedules within reason, to allow you to have an enjoyable stay!
With any excessively dirty unit (excessive pet hair, vomit, stained sheets, stained towels, confetti/glitter, etc), we will have to charge the guest the additional cleaning. This happens very rarely, we just ask you be respectful of the property, as if it were your own home :). No smoking No pets No parties or events.
Additional rules -Renting party must be 23 or older (all members of the group must be 23yrs of age or older, unless there's a parent/guardian present during the entirety of the stay). -Must sign Rental Agreement prior to receiving check-in details- please let us know if you'd like a copy before booking (we can't attach) -If booked on the same day or weekend, please call After-Hours # provided, as we can access our phone quicker than AirBNB -No day visitors (6 guests-max occupancy- occupancy includes children) -Bracelets are given for the max occupancy of the unit. These are to be worn to use the amenities on property. -Max parking- 2 cars (in designated spots, towing will be enforced by a 3rd party company which unfortunately we have no control over- please use parking permits provided upon arrival) -For stays over 28 days- max 1 guest per bedroom
-Monthly reservations during our popular winter months (January, February, and March) MUST be booked from the 1st to the 1st. -Remaining off-season monthly stays must be booked for a FULL month (i.e. 1st to the 1st, 6th to the 6th, 27th to the 27th, etc)

Last minute get away
House was really clean.The beds were the most comfortable I have ever slept on during a vacation. Loved the pool and access to the river. Loved that you could float to the condo and get out right there. The only thing I would change would be, more towels in the condo.

NB
The pool closest to the river looked nice (we didn’t use either pool). The hot tub was very hot and smelled of strong chlorine.
Loved the access to the river. The condo was spacious and comfortable. The beds were like sleeping on clouds! We all slept very well!

Overall was great but make sure to bring everything you need
we really really enjoyed the location of this stay and how comfortable the beds were. However, I wish they would have made it clear that they did not have soap in the bathrooms. Not a big deal but I feel like it’s an easy accommodation that they did not fulfill.
Also we would wake up in the middle of the night sweating to see the thermostat was set to 75. They make a very big deal of not touching the thermostat and not turning it below 72. So it was unsettling to know they set it to a high temperature at night.
Overall it was a great stay other than a few high maintenance thoughts on our end I’m sure. Perfect for sitting in the river and nothing further than 3 miles for everything you need. Great communication with property management. We would stay here again in the future.

Fantastic!
We were pleasantly surprised with this condo and the property/amenities. The condo was clean and there was plenty of room for our family. We enjoyed mornings with coffee on the balcony with a view of the pool so we could keep an eye on our teenagers from a distance. The river at the back of the property was beautiful and had very few people.The elevator and close parking made our check in and check out very easy. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful week!
