Relaxing Beach Getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The kids were obsessed with the pirate ship playground and pool. We loved our very close morning walks to the beach. The high ceilings make the condo feel extra spacious.

Great trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I really liked this place. It was my husband, 2 boys, and me. The boys loved the bunk beds, and there is also a sleeper sofa so plenty of room for everybody. Everything seemed new and in great condition. Nice new kitchen, nice bathroom. We brought our dog and the fenced in back porch was really nice to be able to let him out for a bit without worrying about him. The pool area is nice, the pirate ship is a plus. The place is within walking distance to the beach, maybe 10 minutes max, and an even shorter drive. We will be back for sure.

Not what we are used to

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was clean and well located. We have stayed at many places on the Island and this was our least favorite. The sheets were rather rough and smelled like bleach, but the bed was comfortable. Some basic things like coffee filters, a little bit of coffee for the first morning, creamer, sugar (even little packets) would have been appreciated. Basic spices are usually available (salt, pepper, common spices used in cooking) would help until someone can get to a grocery store. This is not a place I would want to revisit.
