Summary: Just like the title says…Cue the Music. We all know the 1989 hit song from Tina Turner…”The Best”. You’re most familiar with the lyric in the song… You’re simply the best, Better than all the rest ….Better than all the rest is 100% true….Drew & Kelly’s “Doral Canal Inn” house was THE BEST!!! The communication with the owners was impeccable. Kelly went at far as to reach out to us days prior to our arrival to ask us what type of top bedding we prefer…we’ve never had this happen in all of our prior stays at other vacation rental properties. For us, that set the tone for what we knew would be a great vacation. Fast forward to arrival day. The day of arrival, the weather forecast did not look good. We contacted Kelly and asked if there was any chance of an earlier check-in to try and beat the storms…and like our earlier communication, the answer was yes. Once at the property, we were completely taken back with not only how the exterior was but once inside…WOW!!! The cleanest vacation rental we have EVER been to which speaks volumes to us as immunosuppressed guests. Not to even mention the amenities they provide. There is absolutely nothing they have not thought of….the thought that went in to this rental was TOP NOTCH. We were lucky enough while we were there to meet Drew and Kelly and they were amazing and kind hosts just as much in person. I could keep going on and on, but I’m limited to 1500 characters. 110% repeat guests. Laura and Cissy
