Great Vacation Spot

What a great place to stay. This was our third time and we're still lovin' it! It's a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to St. Armands Circle. Very spacious and well maintained. And did I say that the property management team is top notch? Very responsive and courteous. The date range makes it look like we were only there a short time. Quite the contrary - we were enjoying ourselves so much that we decided to extend it by a few days. We'll be back next year, of course.

This property looks all new and is gorgeous! It is very clean, has everything you need to cook, has the perfect amount of furniture and decoration without being cluttered, and we could not have been happier with our stay! It was a short block to the beach, and very easy to walk right out onto the public beach. Everything in this place can be thoroughly cleaned, so I appreciated that it did not have any carpet or fabric couches, very little that couldn’t be bleached or disinfected between visitors. We have a few weeks of timeshares in the area that were not completely ready from the hurricanes last year, but if the need ever arises again, I would happily book this place. It was quiet and reasonably priced-perfection!

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Rooms are big and comfortable and just a 5 minute walk to the beach and to St. Armands Circle. Looking forward to future stays.

2nd Time There

This was our second time staying in this duplex and we loved it! This is a large, well maintained property that made us feel right at home. It's an easy walk to the beach and St. Armand's Circle. The management company is great and was very responsive to any questions that we had. We're hoping to return again next year.
