You will find beautiful accent pillows on the sofa while you enjoy watching TV on a large flat screen monitor.

The property was not well taken care of and extremely dirty. The suite we rented was very dirty when we arrived. The floors were covered in dirt and sand, one of the toilets didn’t flush, the baseboards and cabinets were covered in dust and the unit smelled musty. The listing states it has kitchen utensils however they are all barely functional. The foldout couch was extremely uncomfortable with a mattress just a few inches thick and stained. The pool for the building was filthy the whole weekend as if it has never been cleaned. This rental did not come close the meeting the expectations that come with the booking price. The only positive was the communication with the property manager. Unfortunately, I do not recommend.

The cable did not work in the Living room. The door was a hazard to your hand when you open it. I don’t recommend staying here.

This is a great place with a great view of the Bay! It is well located on the island and has all the amenities you will need, except you will need to bring your own soap, shampoo and conditioner! Pool and hot tub was nice! Only thing I can say it needs, is more chairs on the balcony! We plan to visit again in the future!

Quiet family friendly condo on the bay with access to pier for fishing and watching the beautiful island sunsets. Bayside views from your personal balcony. Multiple boat slips for docking your personal boat on property. Pool/hot tub and patio area for small gatherings with family/friends. Covered parking for one vehicle per unit is a plus.

Great place
We were happy with this property. It was on the bay and had a boat slip so we could go fishing, had a pool for the kids, and a great view of the water. Easy for us to get around. There was a maintenance issue the first day we arrived in our master bath and the owner took care of it the following day herself, on a holiday weekend, which I appreciated. Overall I would recommend this property.

Great view
The unit was great and the view outstanding. The lights on the pier were not on for two of the three nights, but not the owner’s fault, but something that should be addressed for night fishing. Would definitely rent again.

Great place to stay.. Well decorated and view is even better. Only issue I could find is when you first walk in it smells a little moldy but once we turned the AC on the Mold smell diminished.Will stay again.

Very beautiful and well managed condo
Property was well managed and clean, sitting outside in the deck was really relaxing to enjoy sunset and sunrise. I just wish that the patio furniture was better for sitting and enjoying the outside, other than that everything else was perfect.

Nice view
The place is nice but I’m giving it a 4 because check in time is 2pm and we arrived after 2pm but house cleaning lady was still there - she didn’t finish until 3:30. Also on our last night, someone knocked on our door and then left. This happened a few times starting at 9pm to midnight.

Very nice, clean condo. Walking distance from the beach. Just take a wagon to carry your gear. Property manager provided all information and was quick to respond. The check in property didn’t seem to understand why we were checking in with them. ♀️

Perfect Stay for vacay!
This condo was beautiful! One of our favorite things to do each morning was to have coffee on the balcony and enjoy the bay views. It was clean and Rebecca was wonderful and responsive with any questions we had. Kitchen is fully stocked, and beds ans pillows are very comfy! We would absolutely stay here again - wonderful experience for us all! Location is great - minutes from everything on the island.
