Great stay!

The condo was great. Plenty of room for our family of 3 plus a small dog. The yard was perfect for her, too. The only issue were the mattresses were not comfortable, but everyone has different preferences for that. The property grounds were nice and the pool looked like fun, just always super busy. Overall, great place and a nice sta!

It was a wonderful stay for the entire family! We’ll go back for sure!

Staying at Blu was very nice and relaxing. The only reason we gave it 4 stars is because of the construction going on right outside our rental. The place had a cool vibe and the pool, games and deck on site were a plus.
