The condo was decent. Well equipped, not really lacking anything, just dated without much of a view (to be expected for a 2nd floor unit). New security gate right outside unit slams shut constantly and it's very loud. Can't express enough how much this was a problem, especially early in the morning.
We have visited the Island Winds for at least 25 years at Thanksgiving and have always enjoyed our experience. Unfortunately, they have had a management change and it has been felt. No pool toys allowed at all...no noodles, balls, diving sticks, etc. Don't even pretend to be having a good time or security will kick you out of the pool, absolutely incredible. They have also installed so many security gates it's impossible to move around freely.
Every family I encountered said they were already looking elsewhere for next year. They should just change this to a 55 and older property, because Scrooge is in charge.
Such a shame, it was great for many years. By the way, I never write reviews, but felt families that are about to spend their hard earned money deserve to know.
Not a reflection of the condo itself and I apologize to the owner, but the property is so unwelcoming to families now that it's shocking. Hope this helps!
