Michelle is an excellent host. She sent us a welcome package before our arrival, checked on us throughout our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed and provided special touches with a variety of coffee, snacks and waters. We had a very relaxing time and the condo was in very nice condition.

Wonderful condo!

Our experience was fantastic! The condo was just as described. We appreciated all of the extras to make our visit great, such as beach chairs and umbrella. Even though it was mid-summer, the beach and pool did not feel crowded. I could sit on that balcony and gaze at the water forever...
