2476 Shipwatch

It was well-kept and had all we needed for the two of us. Our only suggestion is to add a couple of rolling baggage carts like one sees at a hotel in order to ease the unloading and loading process. We had to make four separate trips to get our stuff in the unit. Since it was on the fourth floor, it was tedious and time consuming. The view was wonderful, the porch was comfortable and we enjoyed the beach - great access!

Beautiful accommodations with gorgeous views.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our vacation in this unit! Especially enjoyed the east facing balcony that was shady in the late afternoon and was great for looking at the beach in daylight, and the stars at night. Just noticed a couple of things that prospective renters might consider. The hot water heater is one of those instant on models (which no doubt saves the owners money). The water temperature fluctuated quite a bit, especially if someone turned on another faucet (even cold water), and made showers a little iffy. Only other tiny item was that there were no coffee filters in the unit. (We quit bringing them years ago as all rentals seemed to have them.)

Even though I take medication, I had really bad allergies daily. it was springtime but we began to wonder of there may have been a cat in that unit even though there was no sign of one. The owners can have pets but we did not ask if a cat could have been there. Our unit was on the 4th floor with a great view of the ocean. except for awful allergies, we enjoyed this unit.

Shipwatch Condo stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great venue for fresh air and the ocean. Cycling on the beach is so invigorating, and the bike paths are first rate. We took two kayak excursions in the salt marshes, and learned a bunch about that ecology. Everyone got the memo on courtesy and friendliness from the front gate to the condo maintenance staff.
