The furniture either needs a deep clean or to be replaced. I had to cover the couch, ottoman and kitchen table bench seat with beach towels for my kids to sit on it. There were stains everywhere. The outdoor patio looks as if it is never cleaned or swept. Good location though and the pools were convenient and nice.

Cottage was better than expected. Great stay

We had a great stay! We loved the accommodations. I am an Interior Designer and I thought everything was absolutely perfect. Cute cute well appointed place. However, we accidentally left some hanging clothes and I called the property manager Sway 3 times. The first time I spoke with someone and she said they were cleaning the unit and she would email me with shipping instructions. After that nothing. I called again twice having to leave messages and no response from Sway. We just want our clothes back!

A wonderful place to stay. Very quiet and secluded. It was so comfortable we didn't want to leave. The amenities were top-notch the vibe was casual coastal. Very close to the beach and town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay...
10.0
We loved our time at the condo. It's recently updated and very comfortable. You'll need transportation to the beach but you can rent a golf cart or get a pass and park your vehicle at the beach. It's very convenient that the Clamshell has 2 parking spaces assigned to the unit. Can't say enough nice things about this unit.
