Immaculate modern rental

Very close to the dog park and satellite pool, with spectacular sunsets over the pond. Beds and even pull out couches were exceptionally comfortable; plenty of towels and decently stocked kitchen — but weirdly, no hangers at all and very rickety dining room chairs; everything felt new, fresh, immaculate. Azario pools, gym, Bahama Bar and golf course all high end resort-feeling. We did have trouble checking in because Azario hadn’t received paperwork or check but once that was straightened out, fantastic two month stay. Would gladly return.
