Beautiful 1st floor condo

We rented Octopus Oasis for four nights. The condo is lovely! Everything was very clean and the view from the back porch is beautiful. The decor is pretty and calming, making it very easy to relax. The pool area is cool and there is even a portion of the pool for adults only (no splash zone). My husband and I enjoyed that. The only reason I took a star off of location is because it requires a drive which can take a while to get to where you’re going due to traffic. The trade off is that you are on a property that is quiet, away from the hustle and bustle and where you will be able to enjoy some wildlife. There were a couple of very small issues that I communicated with the owner and she responded immediately both times. She was incredibly attentive and pleasant to work with. We would definitely recommend Octopus Oasis and hope to stay here again in the future. You will not regret it!!
