We really enjoyed our stay and the condo 2C. The balcony door lock was a bit challenging but once we mastered it all was well. I do suggest the owners invest in a couple of cheap egg spatulas as we only had a huge one for the grill and a pitcher to allow tea to be made. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Fall vacation
The unit was just as pictured, and we loved the location. We stayed during Shrimp Fest, so we could walk to the festivities. Our only complaint was that the king bed was too firm.

The condo was great inside the unit. Beds were comfy, lots of extra linens provided. All appliances in working order.
The elevator is slow and not air conditioned. The exterior of the building could use some TLC.

Great location and nice condo
Super convenient location! Walkable to several restaurants and shops. Loved that it wasn't a super huge highrise. The beach wasn't overly crowded and we never had to wait for the elevator. Also really nice that there was a box to donate beach toys/use them. Overall really liked the facility and would stay here again.

Pictures are deceiving
The property was dirty, the rugs looked as though they were 10 year old Dollar Store rugs that had never be cleaned. The chair in the master bedroom was filthy. The master bath had hair in it. Master bedroom pillow cases looked old and dingy. Very simple, low cost items to address, yet no one seemed to care. Small flies were all over the place especially in the master bathroom. We didn’t cook anything in the unit,l and didn’t have any fruit/veggies in the unit , so I know if wasn’t something we brought in.
When I wrote the manager about the issues, they offered to send someone on our last day to clean and an insulting 5% discount on our next stay. I would never stay here again!

Location is great!! Issues with not having hot water for showers. Also the parking is terrible. Small parking spaces and not enough parking. Numerous times we had to park elsewhere and walk to the castaway.

Great condo! Horrible parking!
The condo itself was excellent. Spacious, clean, convenient…but the parking lot was the most stressful part of the entire trip. Parking spaces are ridiculously narrow and there’s no room to maneuver.

Great location
Loved the location of this condo. The unit was clean and comfortable. Check in and out were very easy. It is an older complex, but the price made up for that. We had some issues with the bathroom, but the Property Manager called me and scheduled a plumber who arrived the next morning. I appreciated how she handled it, by calling me and us talking through it.
