Fantastic Stay
This place was a perfect layout with a queen and bathroom in each room! We loved the area as well you can make it to mostly anything within 15 mins! We had some things broken when we arrived but the management offered to fix it immediately and had great response time! Will keep it saved in case we come through again!

Perfect Set Up For Guys Golf Trip
Our Condo (Actually part of a Student Housing Development) was absolutely ideal for 4 guys on a golf trip. We each had our own Bedroom and Bathroom. The description of the Unit was spot on. The Unit was sparkling clean!! Our host was A with all forms of Communication. Any time we had a question, we would get an immediate answer. We would definitely stay here again.
