Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for a month in a 1 bedroom condo. Accommodations were adequate, nothing spectacular! There were some issues with furnishings initially which we reported and the situation was resolved fairly promptly by the Island Vacation Property management. Loved the location and friendly people in the complex. Considering the hurricane repairs still taking place on the site, we managed quite well and had a good month.
