Very clean, not really a beach view but definitely short walk to the beach. The only thing I would say that was negative was the 2nd bedroom TV was not user friendly and there was no instructions on how to use and couldn't figure out the remotes.

Just right

The process for renting, check in and check out were absolutely fantastic and easy. The location was a three minute walk to the beach and the neighborhood street was very well maintained. The two bedroom condo was also very well maintained and very clean. I will definitely keep this location on my top 5 for staying at the island with pets.

Awesome place to stay!

This condo was fantastic!! I would highly recommend staying here. We had 4 adults and 2 kids, and had plenty of room. The condo was super clean, the beds were ultra comfy, and kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. But really the best feature was how close it was to the beach. It truly was only a 2 minute walk. Plus, the wagon, chairs, and beach towels that came with the condo made beach life so much easier and more comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Location/Great Home

We had an amazing stay at Athena Ares this past week. Condo was perfect location to the beach (1minute walk across the street) and condo was spacious enough for our family of 4 and dog. Loved that we had two dedicated parking spots right in the front. Huge benefit was having the wagon and beach chairs available to use and not having to bring those from home with us. Property manager Sandy was so incredibly sweet and brought me some spare light bulbs. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking utensils you would need. Would absolutely stay here again on our next trip.

Awesome stay Mothers Day weekend

Pool area is nice, upgraded pool and patio furniture is great. Condo is clean, parking is close. On first impression the hot tub looked like it was very dirty, however it was simply stained or perhaps ready for resurfacing. The beds were comfy, everything was nice. Paperwork is a lot but that seems to be standard with VRBO . If anything I would suggest repairs to hot tub and to the lock boxes . Took a lot ofTime to get my keys because the boxes are rusty and hard to manipulate. I would say 4.8 / 5 and look forward to next stay .

Favorite Vacation Spot

We have been coming to this condo rental for countless years and it never disappoints. Very clean, comfortable, with great amenities, easy to process, and great proximity to the beach. My kids loved having access to a pool in addition to the beach. Great setup for cleaning off sandy beach items. I really appreciate having a kitchen with full refrigerator, microwave, oven, and dishwasher. We usually bring our own beach gear but we appreciate the provided beach towels (we use them for the pool) and the beach gear in case we forget something. I also really appreciate that there are two parking spots reserved for each unit. I highly recommend any of the units in this complex. Thanks for another great vacation!

Labor Day weekend

Family getaway for Labor Day weekend. The property is a block away from one of the beach access points to come and go easily. My mistake was staying on the 3rd floor, there were 5 other units to choose from. The space was great for our small family and 2 dogs. It has washer/dryer, dishwasher and fully stocked kitchen. The area is quiet and the bedrooms have blinds to shut out sunlight to sleep in if needed. The balcony was a nice place to have some coffee in the morning or a drink in the afternoon. There is a hot tub, pool and outside covered kitchen area. There is a tv but we werent able to use it. Im not sure if the remote needed batteries or if the spectrum service wasnt working correctly. We ended up watching our college football game in the condo. The pool table that is next to the covered kitchen was covered to protect from the elements. There is also a nice fridge to store drinks or wine. An unexpected surprise were two bathrooms by the pool area. There are also two outdoor showers, one by the pool and one by the back of the buidling by the staircase. They did have chairs, umbrella and a wagon to take to the beach. If you dont want to mess with hauling things to the beach, there was a set up available by Clayton's (further North on the island). It cost $40 for two loungers and an umbrells, we could stay until 6pm and arrived at 1100 am. Overall we had a relaxing stay.
