This island is perfect for a relaxing getaway. The condo is clean, roomy, and has amazing views. I agree that it needs some updates, however that is just cosmetic. Everything we needed or needed to work was perfect!

10/10

The room was bigger than I expected for 2 people. Had an issue with the air conditioner but someone came and fixed it right away. The room was great and I had plenty of towels. I only needed a dust pan to clean up the sand we brought back from the beach. Overall I would give this place a 5 star.

There were pros and cons. Good beachfront location. Very clean on arrival. Comfortable beds. Cooking utensils that were rusted or have peeling teflon should be discarded. Furniture was pretty warn but had a beach cottage feel.

We love everything about staying in the condo. It was spacious and stocked with all the things we needed. The air conditioner worked incredibly well which we loved after a hot day on the beach. The beds were very comfortable. The showers had good pressure. The pools were nice and big and never overcrowded. As well as the beach was very roomy and also never overcrowded. My family and I had a wonderful vacation.

Was not quaint; inviting or honey inside.

The condo had a few issues: smallest TV had volume control problems; largest TV was crooked on the wall, not enough towels, and master bedroom mattress far too soft. But location was perfect- beach, water, close to restaurants and shopping, and safe parking lot.

Spacious condo with spectacular views of the beach. Comfy cozy condo needs a few updates like the bedroom carpet redone but I wore slippers and would stay here again. Loved having my morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the heated pool and beach. A cooler spring break this year so bring layers of clothes including a light jacket for walks along the beach. Get the spinach & crab dip at The Islander. The Pirates Restaurant has the views. Caught the biggest red fish ever on a guided tour! Others were catching smaller whites off the shore. Bring your poles and beach chairs.

Just as advertised. Loved the large balcony and the chairs were very comfortable and the table was an added bonus. Only thing that needed repair was the caulking around the master bath tub. Fix that and it will be a very nice upgrade for those who want something a little more high end than usual. Very nice clean and low traffic beach. Friendly and helpful people everywhere we went.

The building is like all the others. Comfort is a different story. I've been more comfortable at Motel Six. Old dirty carpet, poorly stocked kitchen, small TVs, and sheets don't fit the bed. Furniture was straight out of a doctor's office waiting room. Will not be back.

Nice price, older unit. Walls and ceilings are thin so you will hear the neighbors. Jetted tub does not work. Heated pool was maybe 70°, still too cool for me. Great sunsets, good size kitchen and living area, loved the balony.

Overall we had a good stay. The condo is not fancy, but it is suitable for a few days at the beach. There's some wear and tear, but everything looked clean. My only complaint is that we could not figure out how to lock the door from the outside. I contacted support, and they responded quickly. However the instructions they gave were still not clear, as there wasn't a "lock button" or a "schlage button" labeled. We took our valuables with us when we left the condo, and turned the lock when we were inside the condo. I consider myself pretty tech savvy, so I thought it was odd that I couldn't get the door locked.

8/10

Was in great location but could use a spruce up. Biggest problem was main TV and one of the bedroom TVs did not work. Remotes needed batteries and we think main room TV Direct TV box was broken. We reported and no one even really tried to do anything about it. W Oils not rent that unit again because it seems no one cares. Don’t know if it’s the owners or the property managers that I are the problem but it needs fixing.

Property location was nice, had a nice view of the ocean. Needs a deep cleaning. Doors and handles, light switches and covers, master bath tub. Master toilet lose from the floor. Bed sheets don’t fit master bed. Woke up every morning on the plastic mattress cover. Bed pillows paper thin. Wi-Fi and tv streaming didn’t work half the time. Advertised heated pool, but it wasn’t. Neighbors told me it usually was but heaters for pools were never turned on this year. The pro’s are the location was good. View of the ocean great. Easy access to parking and unit.

I think I have always given 5 stars for every vacation rental we have had. After being in the car for almost 11 hours, we were finally there except we could not get in. We did not receive check-in instructions and code. It did not exist anywhere in my emails. We had to park across the street, download an app., and wait for someone to respond. We were very frustrated. Worst check-in ever! The view here was gorgeous. I was disappointed, when the jetted tub pictured, would not turn on. In addition, the tub will only fill halfway before the water is cold. The door to the washer and dryer area fell of the hanging while doing laundry. The washer smells due to having to be shut right after loads. I propped something in the door to hopefully allow it to air dry inbetween loads. The living room has nowhere at all comfortable to sit. It looks nice, but the confort is just not there. I recommend adding a recliner or two, or perhaps add a sectional with recliners. After full days of going to the beach and exploring, this home missed a comfortable place to lounge like other vacation homes have. In addition, the beds were not comfortable. We drove up to Costco to buy new pillows. It is no fun to have your neck hurt each day because of the bed and pillows. We stayed June 2023. I am leaving this review on 9/3/2023. I allowed time to really think about this review as to not react in anger. This condo has a real opportunity to be amazing. Location is great.
