Birthday celebration

My 3 daughters and granddaughter were there to celebrate my granddaughters 21st birthday!! We had so much fun exploring the area and had fabulous food, drinks, music, shopping, and a fun boat ride! The condo was perfect for all of us, beautifully furnished and decorated, clean, and lots of room for all of us! Also close to everything!!

A fun and relaxing getaway!

The condo was nicely decorated, clean, light and airy, bright and comfortable. The location was perfect to Arnold’s Park, walking trails and restaurants. There were lots of channels to watch on tv. Nice cookware & properly cared for. Just needed a swifter available so I could sweep up my crumbs. The beds are clean. They are too soft for me, but that is just a preference. Overall, an excellent place to stay! Safe neighborhood.

Great location and place

The condo is great. Location is awesome. Walk to beach at Arnold’s Park. Close to food and fun. Bring a hair dryer as we couldn't find one. No soap, shampoo for shower so we had to go buy. No biggie just didn’t know. You can hear the neighbors which was only an issue because of the dogs that barked constantly. I assume that was our issue and this isn’t normal. Need something for main level on windows/doors. It was wide open which was not our normal. More towels would be a plus since it can sleep more than we had and you would need to wash more frequently. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly though. Just food for thought.
