Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you found the home cozy, clean, and well-equipped, and that you enjoyed the easy beach access. It’s great to know our team’s recommendations helped make your stay even better. We truly appreciate the 10/10 recommendation and would love to host you and your family again anytime!
The location was fabulous. We loved our stay. The only thing I would say is that we don’t have any beach toys. We ended up purchasing 2 boogie boards and sand toys and leaving them there for the next family to enjoy because we couldn’t fly back with them.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you loved the location and had a great stay.
We also really appreciate you leaving the beach gear behind—that’s such a thoughtful gesture, and we’re sure future guests will enjoy it. Thank you as well for the suggestion; it’s helpful as we continue to improve the experience.
We’d love to host you again anytime!
Really enjoyed our stay. Loved the beach view out of the living area and the main bedroom. the patio was a great place to enjoy morning coffee watching the ocean waves. The location was within .5 miles of the entrance to Sandfest. We did not hear any noise or disturbance from the Bachelorette Party in the unit below us. Our only complaint was the sliding door from the living area to the patio could not be opened. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the beach views, patio, and overall location—morning coffee overlooking the ocean sounds perfect. We’re also happy to hear noise wasn’t an issue during your stay.
We appreciate you pointing out the sliding door issue as well—that’s helpful feedback, and we’ll make sure it gets looked into. It means a lot that you’d stay again and recommend the home. We’d love to host you in the future!
My family enjoyed a wonderful stay here! I loved that it was on the second floor, a short walk to the beach, and the pool. Convenience and relaxation! It was super clean and had fun beach vibe decor. It was so lovely to celebrate summer here!

The views and access to the beach are wonderful. The unit itself was nicely decorated and had everything we needed.
Our fave family vacay spot is Port A, so we brought our friends along this time to experience the island. Island Retreat is always a great choice for lodging because of it's ease of access to the beach, loads of on site amenities and updated in town condos.

Our family had the best time staying at this condo! The location is great as it’s close to shops, restaurants, and beach access. The views were gorgeous! The condo was clean, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary equipment for food/drinks, and had a washer/dryer. The facility has two pools, one directly across from this condo. Our family had the best time and can’t wait to go back. We will definitely stay here again!

We’re also glad you enjoyed the pools and proximity to everything. We’d love to have you back anytime—looking forward to hosting you again!
We had such a good time last year, we had to come back! Even though the weather was not as cooperative, we enjoyed sitting on the porch with our coffee watching the sun rise and set and the easy access to the beach when the sun made its brief appearance. Here's hoping we can come back again next year!
We were surprised how close we were to the water. You see the water from tye livingroom and master bedroom. Clean, all cooking utensils, pans - etc. Was provided. Excellent communication! Beds are comfortable, beach towels and chairs provided. Heads up - light/fan contols are not hung on the wall in every room. It's separate and looks king of like a star trek com.

This was JUST what was needed!!! Hosts were so nice!! Place was VERY clean! Plenty of supplies! Amazing views!!! SUPER relaxing!!! Loved sitting on the balcony with my coffee in the morning and relaxing there at night just listening to the ocean and feeling the breeze. We will for sure be back!! My only regret is not being able to stay longer. It was the perfect time!!

We had a lovely stay at the property. The property was clean and well maintained. It's a great location. The beach is fabulous and the apartment is very comfortable. We had a minor issue with a kitchen drawer not working our second day at the property. We let the property manager know and they had someone over to fix the issue within an hour. They were very prompt and helpful with responses. We were stay here again!

This property is absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully redone since the last time we stayed here. Plenty of room and the view of the ocean from the 2nd-floor balcony is spectacular. The local restaurants offer some of the best food around. We did strictly take out. We stayed 20 days and enjoyed all but the last 4 days. We happened to be there during the cold spell and joined the locals with their loss of water and power. We stayed, toughed it out, until our flight out. Our hosts offered great communication and support. Hope to return. Thank you!!
