The condo was beautiful, clean and had everything needed for our stay. No words can describe the views from the balcony. The bed was extremely comfortable as well and the accessibility from the elevator to the unit was perfect, steps from the elevator but no noise whatsoever. We had no issues at all during our week stay. We definitely plan on returning to the unit for future stays. Thank you Jason for sharing your beautiful condo.
