This place was absolutely amazing! The property had everything we needed it’s close to shops/restaurants so we could walk to most things. The beach was in a short walking distance!

It really was Close Enough…

We had to work out a few quirks when we first got there. Upstairs air conditioner wasn’t working. However, property manager came right out and had attended to. After that, we had no issues. The home was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. I would not recommend this for someone who has a hard time going up and downstairs.

Long overdue

We enjoyed our stay it was within walking distance to the shrimp festival, which was one thing we wanted to do while we were there. When checking in the original code sent to me didn’t work but I called and they immediately got that handled. We also had some ants on the counter and around one of the windows I sent an email and they had someone out there in a few hours to handle that. All in all we enjoyed staying there and would probably stay there again.

The small things

It was great; however, we ran out of toilet paper and trash bags very fast. Would have been nice if there were a few extras of each. Also the trash people did not come on Thursday like it said, so we had an abundance of trash.

False advertising

The property was nice and clean but advertising was wrong. We booked based on five bedrooms and five bathrooms and got four bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Our family was inconvenienced with having five people sharing one bathroom. The property managers response was that 'it was big enough for our group'. It should not be up to THEM to decide what we needed. They didn't take responsibility.

Great place for large groups

Plenty of space for everyone in our family who was in town for the World Series baseball tournament. Lots of parking for our four cars. Close to everything but off the main drag so it was quiet and peaceful which allowed us to use the outside decks. Disappointed with the cleanliness of the condo. Unfortunately the Internet went out which turned out to be the owner had not paid the bill. Also, had trouble with the power - subset of the lights went out several times when washer/dryer were being used. Maintenance had to come onsite to help locate the fuse box. Also, the garbage disposal tripped the same subset of lights once. Was getting concerned as this problem happened more often towards the end of our week.
