Great vacation!

We spent 3 weeks at Gateway Villas and really enjoyed our stay. The ocean view from our condo was amazing, and the pool was always clean. It was easy to walk or hop on the tram to get to Times Square, and we appreciated less traffic and an area of the beach that wasn't overcrowded. Helen and Thaddeus were great to work with and always responded quickly to any questions we had. We would stay here again!

Great stay for our family

Wonderful place to stay and relax with your friends, or family. Great, well appointed condo. Rooms and bathrooms were comfortable and the kitchen is perfect for those wanting to mix cooking in with eating out. The pool area was very nice with plenty of lounge chairs. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Fantastic home base for a week of fun

A beautifully recently renovated condo was everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. The condo was clean and nicely furnished for us to linger on the lanai overlooking the ocean, or to lounge inside when it got too warm. It was dreamy sleeping in the comfortable bed after a long day with the sliding door open in there master bedroom, listening to the sound of the crashing waves. Our teenage kids had their own space in the second bedroom and bathroom. The condo property is very well kept and opens up directly to the beach. A ten minute walk on the beach or the sidewalk gets you either to Times Square or Bowditch Point. We didn't need to leave the island if we didn't want to! Looking forward to returning.

Quick weekend at the beach

We really enjoyed our stay here. We just went down for a 4 night getaway and this place was perfect for us. The beach was right there and the pool was great for the kids as well. It is right down by the action but far enough away that you aren't bothered by it if you don't want to be.

Beyond beautiful

Last minute change of plans had us scrambling to find a place to stay. Found this gem. Walking in the door and then opening the hurricane shutters took our breath away. The views spectacular. The rooms were tastefully decorated. Any questions were promptly answered. Will be contacting for a stay next year.
