It was a comfortable, beautiful and engaging stay in this condo. The balcony is perfect for birdwatching. Hawks and osprey flew by often providing eye level observation. Egrets, heron and many other shorebirds are present daily so make sure to bring your binoculars. It's a nice walk across the boardwalk too. The marsh is gorgeous and full of life. There is a shuttle that runs at particular times, but we preferred the slower journey. The beach is gorgeous and not terribly crowded. Our family also enjoyed swimming, fishing and cast netting during the beautiful summer days.
The condo is well equipped. The kitchen has most everything you would need to prepare any meal. The decor is lovely and snug. There were a couple of items that I thought would make our month here more comfortable. When I asked, they were promptly delivered by the property manager, who was very responsive and kind. The water pressure is a bit low, but we were, in the end, very satisfied with our time here.
The reason that I am giving this unit a four star rating, instead of a five, is because the resort is in need of updates. Much of what I would point out is aesthetic, but there are some structural issues too. Also, the resort manager and certain staff members at the facility were not professional. Interacting with them, even in passing, was unpleasant, and on more than one occasion, they entered the condo without announcing themselves. They did this, for example, when they needed to do work on the balcony or were checking the door for security reasons. This was very disconcerting. In general, there appears to be more emphasis placed on security and staffing than upkeep and infrastructure.
Overall, I would recommend this condo to other guests. It was a delight to spend August here. The condo is beautiful and charming. The property manager, Steve, is very helpful. And, the natural beauty all around is astounding. Hopefully, the resort will work on some of these concerns. If so, this rental will be truly wonderful.
