The condo was clean and the property manager was really responsive! The wagon was rusted so you might want to bring your own wagon but otherwise it was a beautiful property. There are two sections so it's easy for 6 people to stay because there are two bathrooms and sections so it didn't feel crowded at all! ##### Courtney L.
