A nice place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the view, the furniture, and the location being the end unit. It was extremely quiet. The only thing that wasn’t great was the AC. It does keep the master bedroom and lower elevation cool in the living room, but the loft gets quite hot, as does the 2nd bedroom which has no AC and no windows you can reach for ventilation. The fans helped, but an additional AC in the 2nd bedroom would go a very long way.

Great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay here as a family of four! Our kids loved the upstairs loft with the twin beds and having easy access to the pool. We were impressed with how well stocked the condo was, plenty of towels, paper products, soaps, and a kitchen that had everything we needed.The fire alarm batteries needed to be changed on our first day, but VRC handled it promptly and was easy to work with. The unit was also incredibly quiet, and the beds were very comfortable.The only small issue was that it didn’t seem like the floors had been thoroughly vacuumed before we arrived. Thankfully, there was a vacuum in the closet, so we were able to take care of it ourselves in just a few minutes. Other than that, the unit was very clean, and we would happily stay here again.

A little warm but plenty of fans!!! The smoke detector went off chirping. We had to take the batteries out, and they finally came the next day and fixed it but other than that, a great view and a great place to stay. We would stay here again.
