Summary: We had a great stay in Azul. The property was beautiful. The hike to the ponds was enjoyable. Loved being able to have our own spot to rest, park, and recharge without the difficulty of a motel. We've never used a VRBO. Felt like home, without an alarm clock. Only thing that we didn't have was a cloth or sponge to scrub the dirty dishes. We went to the laundry and found a rag though. Thank you for great memories
