This is our 2nd time in two years staying at a condo on the Lagoon Villas property. We absolutely love this area and itâs perfect for our family of 5. Being from Ohio, I usually prefer to stay Oceanside, however we really like this location which overlooks the lagoon. Itâs fun to sit on the balcony and watch the wildlife. Specifically, the resident alligator has become a fun âI Spyâ game for us. But donât worryâhe only makes a brief appearance once a trip for us and always stays in the water. Our kids are older (15 and above) so the short walk to the beach (7minutesâI timed it!!) is not a big deal. If you have really small kids you might want to consider staying a little closer but elementary school age and beyond will be fine. Youâll need a wagon if youâre like us and take lots of stuff to the beach.
We loved that this property had bikes available to use. Definitely recommend taking a cruise around the gated community on them.
This unit was clean (a little dirty around baseboard areas which is why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars). The dining table is awesome for a family of 5 or 6 and the living area also had ample seating. Lots of movies to choose from so movie night was a win! Beds and pillows are comfy. Itâs nice there were two queen beds in both bedrooms. Love to use the pool tooâitâs never too busy!
Another thing we enjoy is the close proximity to Charleston. We love to drive in to the city and take in the history, restaurants, and shopping. Weâd also recommend going ten minutes to Sullivanâs Island to Poeâs Tavern for their awesome burgers! Kayaking at Shemâs Creek was another fun activity our family did.
I would definitely stay here again but I do have some suggestions for the property managers. We ended up needing some extra supplies since we were there for 6 days. We called and they were very pleasant and attentive. I would suggest, however that you upgrade the quality of toilet paper as well as the amount. It was really really cheap and for an extra couple of bucks would set a better tone. In addition, it would be nice to have more dishwasher tabs from the onset. Being there six days, we were only given 3 tabs which was not enough but we called and we were promptly given more. Again, these are not deterants, just suggestions. We took extra toilet paper, dish detergent and paper towels and ended up using our own.
Great experience! Great vacation! We love the location!
