We had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend this condo, especially for larger groups. We stayed with 7 people and had plenty of space — the layout worked very well and never felt crowded. The unit gets wonderful natural light, which made it feel bright and welcoming throughout the day. Everything was very clean on arrival, and the condo was well maintained overall.The host was also great to work with and very responsive to messages, which we really appreciated.A few small suggestions that could make an already good place even better: the kitchen could use a bit more silverware for the number of guests the condo accommodates, and the dining table chairs were quite stained, which stood out given how clean the rest of the space was. A TV in the main living room would also be a nice addition for group gatherings.One minor logistical note — having garage door openers or a keypad/code for the garage would make access easier. With a larger group, it was a little inconvenient to have to go inside each time to open the garage doors.Overall, these are relatively small items, and we had a very comfortable stay. We would be happy to stay here again.

House was fantastic overall. It comfortably fit 5 adults and 4 kids. Lots of space to hang and explore. Overall, even nicer than the pictures conveyed. The host was remarkably fast at responding. The only (incredibly minor) critique is they need more forks... there were like 8 forks total.
