The location and the condo are perfect, we have been staying at the Island Winds location for many years, this is our fourth time staying in this condo which is perfect.
We were wanting a nice beachfront view and a quiet location. This property provided exactly what we wanted. It was the perfect size for us. I definitely would recommend this property.
My wife & I stayed here for 5 days, 4 nights and had a wonderful time! This place had everything we needed! Plenty of space for the both of our clothes, luggage, etc.. Easiest check in we’ve ever had, no issues with anything at all. We will definitely be booking here again!

The condo was nice, view was amazing, kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals. Our only complaint was the bed was not comfortable for us. We are used to a firm mattress but this one was very soft. And, the code provided for the fitness room was incorrect.
Loved unit and location…building was very well maintained. Perfect size for my husband and myself. Instructions on line were precise and easy to follow. Contacts with management was good. Everything was in unit we needed. Our only issue was perhaps bathroom floor was not as clean as it could have been and sink in bathroom/ kitchen appeared plugged and would think that would have been noticed when cleaning.
We usually stay at a different condo in this building but it was already booked. Opted for this one instead and it was very clean, no issues. I do have to note that there are way too many fees for this booking so we won’t be staying here in the future. Unlike the other condo we use, there’s a parking fee and a laundry fee (automatically added to booking fees). The service fees are also higher.
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. Everything was excellent. It was our second time staying in the same place and have already booked for next Year's stay. Thank you for everything
The condo was clean, the staff of the condos were very friendly and helpful. The pool and restrooms by the pool were also very well kept no complaints and we definitely plan to book again!

Clean and convenient all for a reasonable price for our small family get away.
The condo was well equipped, but could use a very thorough cleaning from top to bottom. Also, the racks in the freezer are totally rusted; which is disgusting. The condo itself was in a great location; close to everything and the view was fantastic.
