Based on the VRBO listing we had high expectations for this unit, and it exceeded expectations. Beautiful, new, well appointed with the best high-floor lake view we’ve ever seen. Location is perfect for park access and museum campus. Cloud9 effectively uses technology to provide good service.

One of the best getaways are family has been too. Seriously all around spectacular. The views were unbeatable, the apartment was very cleanly and even stocked with things in the fridge when we arrived, beautiful amenities within the building that you won’t get anywhere else. Beautiful very very warm pool, beautiful indoor pool with hot tub and outdoor pool. Many lounge spaces outside of unit. Unit had great amount of towels, and body wash shampoo conditioner. Staff at the apt was very nice and helpful as well. All around highly recommend and will definitely be returning. Absolutely spectacular and no issues whatsoever.
