This place is absolutely perfect for a quick and relaxing getaway. Loved the beautiful views right off the balcony and the ease of getting around the area around the condo too. We were able to safely go for long walks without the concern of traffic. We had access to a private area of the beach too. Would love to come back here again!

This condo is very clean and updated. My wife and I spent a week here and had a great time. The view from the balcony is beautiful!! There is a lot of storage for all of your clothes and bathroom items. There is everything you would ever need, and everything is labeled so you don't have to search for anything. Diane has thought of everything. The king bed, pillows and couch were all very comfortable. Diane also had lots of information for things to do and places to go. She was also responsive when we had a question. A/C was adequate. The private beach was enjoyable with plenty of chairs available.

Great Wine Vacation

The condo was awesome from the start with Wine and cheese awaiting us after our long drive. The water view was great and the area was very peaceful. We were able to go around 3 lakes, rent a boat and tour 9 wineries during our week. Diane could not have been more attentive during our stay.
