We booked quite last minute due to change of Florida plans (Hurricane Ivan). My husband and I travel with my mom who has mobility issues. We need very specific requirements in a property. Randy was most awesome to work with. He answered all of our questions and was so understanding of our situation.
First, the property is accurately described...although even better in person! If you are traveling as a group, please know the primary bedroom is on one side of the condo, separate from the other 2 bedrooms (1 king & the bunkbed room). This was great for us to have privacy. The washer dryer is on the side with the 2 bedrooms, with a bathroom in the hallway (tub/shower combo). The shower in the master bedroom does have a pretty decent step in. We were just very cautious with mom and her mobility issues.
My mom can sometimes play her TV a little loud, we did not hear the TV from the other side of the condo. The living room has the most gorgeous lake view! Even working in the kitchen at the sink you have the view. Sunsets were amazing. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.
We were there in off season so you need to watch the hours and days on restaurants - Facebook was good for tracking that.
Randy does an incredible job with communication ahead of the stay with instructions on the condo, access, amenities, and local recommendations. Everything is labeled in the condo there is nothing left to wonder about. He has truly made everything so easy to reference. Even how to use your own devices with HDMI - we have used a few VRBO properties and Randy handles all the details! Kitchen is extremely well appointed, we did not lack anything in our 11 days!
Meals - Try Boji Prime for views and a wonderful food - yes...even the creamed spinach is spectacular.. Bar type food abounds in the area.
Activities: We found a local fishing guide to give us a boat tour, that was well worth the views and the stories!
We bowled in Spirit Lake - small local bowling center, quite nice.
Massage - we headed into Spencer Iowa and hit Design Masters, great place and shop for all things bath and body like.
Beds - I don't sleep well also have a bad back. Um, I slept through the nights, no back issues no pain - Great bed!!
Check in and Check out were a breeze. No daunting tasks to perform!
Thanks to Randy, all his preparation work, and a beautiful condo, out trip was wonderful (even though not warm) - not Randy's fault :-)
