As a retired hospitality executive, I can confidently say that Derek and April have mastered the art of hospitality! From the moment we arrived, we felt at ease, thanks to the warm welcome at the security gate—an extra touch that resonated with us as residents of a gated community in Florida.
Stepping into the condo, we were delighted by the array of amenities that awaited us. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you might need, including food seasonings, a blender, a pizza pan, a coffee maker, and more! Additionally, there were beach chairs, an assortment of games, and the place was impeccably clean. The condo's modern decor, stunning views, and abundance of activities on the property were outstanding.
Our family had a blast kayaking with our daughters, and we took advantage of the area's attractions. Day trips to Chimney Rock, Zen Tubing on the French Broad River, Biltmore Estate, Navitat Canopy Zip Lining, and Lake Lure were all highlights of our stay. The property offered so many activities for both adults and children, including pickleball, mini golf, excellent onsite restaurants, and even live music on the beach while toasting s'mores, making it feel like a summer camp for all ages.
This location was perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life. Yet, for those willing to drive an hour, there are many beautiful destinations with hiking trails and waterfalls to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning!
