Property has perfect beachfront location. Staff very good But each unit is separately owned and the whole interiors need updated everything. Bathrooms kitchens Decor nothing feels fresh. Owners need to do updates for the prices.

It was the perfect location. Beach chairs, umbrellas available. Super nice people were there at the same time. Many public beaches with a short drive too! Great restaurants both on the island and just across the bridge.

Poor layout. Pricey. But very close to beach.
84 steps from unit front door to beach. Front door opens into bedroom; unavoidable. Shower head needed replaced. Poor supply of silverware and dishes; spend a little and buy some cheap so you don't need to run the dishwasher daily. Pricey compared to better units on the island.

Wonderful Stay
We spent 3 great nights at this condo. Loved the beach, and there were lounge chairs and umbrellas available to us free of charge. The area is so wonderful, great restaurants and wonderful shopping at St. Armand’s Circle. The condo was small, but clean and perfect for our needs.

Condo is very dated and worn out. Pull out couch mattress is flat and not useable. Had to request an air mattress. Bedding is old and not very attractive. Great location, proximity to beach is awesome -- condo needs some TLC.

This property was exactly what we were looking for with direct beach access, quiet low-key environment, easy access and parking, and well-maintained amenities. Loved the screened porch facing pool and unit was modestly furnished, in great condition and very clean. Definitely would not hesitate to return sometime in future.
