Started out with a bit of a hiccup. (Totally on our part - car toppers will not fit in the carport)
We never had any trouble with the elevator wait. The view from the balcony was perfect. We were excited to see the jet ski races on Saturday but so ready for them to be over on Sunday (very loud!)
The balcony furniture was a bit precarious. A few pieces I put way in the corner so nobody would use it as they looked about ready to fall apart. The space on the balcony and the extra lighting provided by having a corner room was fantastic!
Some of the knives were rusty and none of them were sharp. Several burnt or rusty pans. The non-stick skillets are close to peeling and have seen better days. We found enough to work with and made it work.
The distance to shell island was perfect and a day trip we really enjoyed. We took the ferry over and rented snorkeling gear. 11 sand dollars, shells galore, crabs, sea slugs, barnacles, anemones, dolphins, & (yes, a couple sharks).
The beach was beautiful. The sand, perfect. We were so thankful to those who had left their beach toys and 2 body boards behind! The boardwalk area had several hoses to rinse off yourself, shoes, toys, etc. very helpful for limiting the amount of sand that gets tracked into the condo. The boardwalk is also where the grills are. Plan early if you are grilling. They are popular and you may have to wait for a turn or share space with other people. (Just take a couple beers down with you- some to share with the other cooks is always fun too!)
Really, we would rent here again. It was as advertised and the space was perfect for us. Us in one room, in-laws in another, and our 4 kids maxed out the double bunk bed and trundle. Everyone slept well and had a wonderful time!
