Great On All Accounts
There is nothing this condo doesn't offer! Every amenity that you could possibly think of is here! Coffee bar that includes a Kuerig, Nexpresso, french press, electric tea kettle, plus all the necessary items like coffee pods, various teas, go-cups, and more. Spotless and very modern, yet cozy decor. They allowed our two dogs and even had things for them. You will love it! We did! They thoight of everything!

A lovely, peaceful location
We had a great time staying at Wills place. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and we appreciated the additional attention to detail - multiple phone charging leads and a kettle so we could make tea. The area is picturesque and quiet and the balcony offers the perfect location to take in sunrise or sunset in the most beautiful surroundings. I would love to stay here again. Thank you for having us!

Great unit with lots of amenities
The unit was very clean and nicely/simply decorated. We have rented in the Territory many times and this unit by far had the most amenities provided (we basically only had to provide our own food and personal toiletries). So many llittle touches to make being away from home easy. The owner was very responsive during the stay when we needed something. The view is amazing from the balcony and so much to do nearby. Was also great to be able to bring our dog.

Nice family getaway plus dog came this time! bonus
We had a nice stay at the property. It was our first time staying at a VRBO that allowed dogs and it was a perfect setup for the entire family. My 6 year old daughter was especially excited about the playroom and has already talked about "when we go back next year" so that is a good sign. I was surprised there were not many bugs outside so we could actually enjoy the patio and the view of the golf course is gorgeous. Thanks for hosting us! We plan to come back.

I would highly recommend this property. This is one of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The communication with the property owner was quick. The information provided for the rental was very detailed. Lastly, the “small” details to make it feel like home are nothing that I’ve ever seen. We will stay again!

Cozy Winter Get-away
The pictures show the property well. Nice to have a fireplace and we definitely appreciated use of the garage. We arrived late and it was wonderful to unpack the car inside, on dry ground and not in the dark. The beverage station was also a bonus with any type of warm drink you might like. Bed was comfy, kitchen was well-equipped and location was perfect for us. A great stay!
