I accidentally left with her pillow case. The bed linens need to be replaced and pillows too. We went to Wall Mart and bought new pillow cases to use. When I left I took one of hers by mistake. I need to know how to return it. She is outstanding with any concerns we had. The Toliet broke and she had a plumber there in 30 minutes. Kitchen well stocked. Furniture great! Deck furniture wonderful. We will go back!

Thank you for your review. Don't worry about the pillow case since I will be there in 2 weeks so will be doing my semi annual replacement as usual. I hope you return again soon!

Amazing stay, easy check in and great communication! The beachfront ocean views were absolutely breathtaking and we loved having balcony access from both the living room and bedroom. The condo was spotless and exactly as described. Extra comfy bed & lots of extra amenities (*only 2 rolls of t.p).Security was a huge plus!! They actively checked wristbands, monitored beach access, and enforced parking so there were always spots available. (It’s worth noting that if you are there during spring break Clayton’s and Louie’s nearby can get busy and a bit loud, but honestly, it wasn’t bothersome inside the condo at all. If anything, it added to the fun…we enjoyed the music and a little people-watching from the balcony!) Chairs, etc for the beach were a great bonus!We loved it so much we extended our stay and were so thankful that 208 was available. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!

A True Gem

What a great place to stay. It is exactly as described, very well appointed and very tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed to comfortably enjoy our stay. The location is perfect. We would have our breakfast on the deck and listen/watch the surf. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Definitely a place we will visit again and its location on the island was perfect for us. Thank you for taking the time for being so thoughtful and gracious.
