Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### No balcony/No problem Our stay was fantastic. We have stayed at a number of units at CBTS but our first time in this unit. I was unsure with unit due to no balcony, but honestly we didn’t miss that at all. The view was still spectacular. We loved the unit so much, we have booked it again. ##### Jennifer F. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer F. Jul 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our home away from home Our stay was amazing! It was so nice to return to the same unit several days apart. Already knowing the condo and the supplies in the kitchen made it that much nicer. Again not having a balcony was not a missing piece. One suggestion is to see about having a parking pass in the unit prior to arrival. It was hit or miss with the office staff, so we were delayed in getting the pass for the dash. Another thought might be to make the TVs a little simpler to operate. Thankfully we know how it works, but others may not. Thank you for another great stay. See you soon. ##### Jennifer F.
