The condo was spectacular. The view and surrounding grounds were even better. The hosts made you feel at home and were always available for assistance if you needed. Coffee early in the morning with the birds was our favorite part. One suggestion, a mattress topper would go a long way, the bed was very hard. Otherwise our stay was exquisite!

Extremely friendly host and staff. Note a steep hill to get to property, so get your groceries done beforehand :). Only concern for us was how slippery the pool gets when wet. Just to be careful
