We’re sorry to see a 1-star rating, particularly since no comments were included to provide context. After checkout, you contacted us regarding an issue with the shower, and our team immediately followed up by both phone and email. The maintenance concern was addressed by our staff, and we also offered a resolution that was accepted at the time. If you feel the resolution did not appropriately address your concern, we would genuinely welcome the opportunity to hear from you and discuss it further. Otherwise, we hope you’ll consider revising your rating to more accurately reflect your overall stay. This is a very popular condo that consistently receives 10/10 reviews and has so much to offer. We hope you and your family were able to enjoy the beautiful beach, nearby playground and park areas, and the convenience of restaurants and shopping all within walking distance—just outside the door. We’d hate for one maintenance hiccup—especially one that was addressed—to overshadow the entire experience or for a rating without context to discourage future guests from enjoying such a special property and location.

We went to attend the Shrimp Festival and wanted to be within walking distance of event. This place was perfect for that. The unit was very fresh and everything was very intentional. It is a small unit but the updates were very well done.

Oceanfront/Walking distance to many places!

Wonderful oceanfront view! (top floor (8th)). Plenty of beach space as well. Enjoyed cup of coffee each morning on the balcony. Beautifully decorated in beach theme and parking was simple/no problems. Never had to wait on elevators; HUGE bonus!

Stormy days can be beautiful days!!

We loved our stay! We had an amazing anniversary/birthday trip and even tho the trip was filled with storms and tornado warnings, I couldn't have been happier. I sat on the deck and watched the storms roll in and truly felt a peaceful joy that I haven't had in a while. The following days were filled with good food, escape rooms and beach days. Hands down, my favorite trip and I've been EVERYWHERE. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Stop over

Frustrated that the pool was completely under construction but property didn’t mention the pool was unusable.

Michelle, thank you for the review. The HOA at Island Winds East did not let us know the project completion date had been extended. When you let us know we called to confirm, and they stated it had not been completed. We apologize for the inconvenience. Next time, let us know before you book and we can get you into a property with no construction scheduled anytime near your dates! Thank you!

Very good location, very hard beds

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. This condo is super cute, decorated very nice, great location! We only had one issue, but it was a pretty big one. The beds are crazy hard. So much so that they reminded me of the fake store displays for bedding. After a long day of traveling, you just want a comfy place to land, unfortunately, this wasn’t it. (Even our teenager complained about how hard they were.) Update those beds and we’ll happily book again! It was otherwise great!

Clean

The unit was clean. The only issue we had was upon checking in the toilet handle in the master bathroom broke. In all the number given and someone told me that they would be out the next day, unfortunately no one showed up the entire trip! Had to keep the top off the tank to be able to flush the toilet!

Nice place to stay, great location.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was very cute and quaint and well decorated. We loved that we had a view of the water and enjoyed time on the balcony. I would say this comfortably fits four. Great location and well decorated with charm. I only gave 4 stars for the following reasons: - This is a big destination for families with little kids who want to go to the beach. I was hoping they would provide beach towels, beach chairs and beach toys. We ended up buying them but it was a pain hauling beach toys in our luggage and taking unnecessary space. Also paying 45 dollars a day for beach chairs is unnecessary and expensive. - We were not aware of parking fee for a rental care until we found a ticket on our rental car. I wish this was shared with us upfront. - When asking for extra towels, we were told there was a 25 dollar fee to deliver towels. I found this frustrating as we payed hundreds of dollars in cleaning/ service fees which I presumed would be covered under that. Overall we enjoyed our stay and it was a wonderful location and environment. For the cost, I was hoping for more amenities regarding beach equipment.

Margaret, thank you for sharing your experience at our condo! We are so glad you enjoyed the location and were able to make lasting memories with family! Beach chairs are available to rent, but please remember you can always purchase your own and take them down to the beach every night for around the same price as one night through the beach service. Our condos include a full-sized washer and dryer to refresh towels as needed, we are sorry if there was some miscommunication! Also, the HOA handles the parking passes on-site at this condo and this information is advertised on the property page when getting ready to reserve a condo! Next time, please let us know you'd like them to be included and we can suggest some other resorts that are included in your stay! We hope to see you again next year and thank you for choosing Beach Getaways!
