This place was just perfect. I rented it for a month and it had everything I needed. Pictures are exactly what you get. Great location and friendly staff on site to help. Beautiful view to wake up to each day. Hosts were very responsive when I needed anything. Can’t rate highly enough, thank you!

Great stay and will be back!
The condo is beautiful and very modern! Looked the view. The bunkbed area adds its own special touch as well.
