Had a wonderful stay at this property. Plenty of space for 2 and the location was a 5 minute drive to the beach. Hope to return some time in the future.
My rental was clean and cozy. Great location, close to beach and restaurants. Kitchen had everything I needed. I would stay again when it is warmer

This rental was awesome! I am already looking at when I can come back. My dogs loved having this space versus a hotel or RV and it was so close to the beach as well as having its own pool. The only thing that could have made it more convenient was a dog park on this part of the island but that may not be possible. I truly enjoyed this stay!

Girls weekend was wonderful at this unit. Stayed in a smaller unit last year, and was pleasantly surprised at how spacious this one bedroom was. The location was fabulous, the unit was spotless and the furnishings were in excellent shape, comfortable bed, and nice privacy.
We were there for 7 nights and only had enough amenities for a weekend stay.

The property was very clean. Everything looked as the pictures show. The location is closed to the beach. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the bonfire pit didn't work and we had eveverything to do s'mores

This property blew us away. Despite being so close to the beach, it was in amazing condition! It was clean, spacious, and the kitchen had so many pans and items to use which was a big selling point for us. Literally the only thing I could *kind of* complain about was water pressure, as it was low which made showers a little slower, but that was such a minute detail that we are already looking to book our next getaway here again!
Initially we were asked to be there for pest control which is odd, and we replied we were concerned about chemicals around our pets so we asked not to have the treatment. Mgmt agreed but we came back one day to find a note saying it had been done anyway. Not cool. We won’t be back.
We needed a little getaway from the city and this location was just the right spot. We were within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, grocery store and just about anything. It was like being cocooned in a little slice of utopia. Will definitely use them again.
We enjoyed our stay. Loved that they allowed pets. Walking distance to the beach. The yacht club amenities are a great bonus and everything you need to know is right there as you walk in. I would stay here again!
The property is great, location is great but the cleanliness of the condo was not to my standards. I reached out to management and I will say they made attempts to make it right like waiving the cleaning fee and offering to send someone to clean. I declined the housekeeper, for my own reasons. However, the items left dirty are no brainers for me when cleaning a rental space and it made me think the unit had never been cleaned since the last renter. For this reason I probably will not stay here again. I’m HUGE on cleanliness!
