This is a beautiful property, clean, exactly as pictured and the host left us all we needed to get started. The community is amazing, the location is perfect and is close to all shopping and activities. We truly enjoyed our time here and we would love to return in the future. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this home and for a wonderful vacation! ##### MaryAnn E. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate F. 29 Apr 2024 #### 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. ##### Kate F.
