Sand in my Boots

I wish there were pot holders & baking sheets. I had to wash and put away dishes, but they only supplied detergent for 1 load. Great location on the beach. The owner communicated well.

This place was very nice although I would definitely remove the rugs in both bedrooms. Those floors need to be hard surface. Rugs are holding a musty odoe

Great place!

Place was great! Clean, smelled great.Decor is cute and not tacky feeling. Felt really big. We had 2 adults and 2 smaller kids in our party and we had plenty of space for us all. Master shower was great! Balcony had great views! The seating is different than pics. Tall table with chairs was really comfortable and it had 2 longer chairs as well. If you are facing The Hangout, this was to the right on the quieter wise. What I loved most was the short boardwalk to beach and the walk then to actual water was short as well. Perfect if you don’t want to get warm out just getting there lol. The only con would be the pool area. On the smaller side and not much for kids. We were there for a short visit and more focused on beach so my kids didn’t care. If it were a longer stay I’d definitely want a different pool area. But that has nothing to do with this wonderful hosts. For my needs this was 10/10.

I love this property/unit

This is my third or fourth time staying at Island Royale, and I really like it. Super clean and well-maintained public areas, Mr. Joe the security fella, and location on the beach are ideal. This unit is my favorite to date - keypad on the door, excellently appointed decor, comfy beds, and chaise lounges on the balcony all combined for a lovely stay. Will definitely book here again.

Perfect Family Vacation

Lively stay with beautiful weather. The ocean was calm, the beach was white powder sand, and the walk between the condo and the beach was very short! It’s close to lots of restaurants. The rooms had black out curtains and a box fan for white noise. Furniture was comfy and we appreciated the luggage carts in the lobby. Will definitely come back!

Relaxing

Had a great time. My wife and i enjoyed the relaxation. The weekend we arrived was the 51st annual shrimp festival so getting to condo was difficult. Suggest more hand towels in bathrooms. The maids came 15 minutes before checkout. Would recommend.
