Great place!

My friends and I had a great stay at this property. The beach was super close and all restaurants/shops were a 5-10 minute walk as well! The location was great and the property itself was wonderful and just as described.

Perfect Beach Stay

It was a wonderful stay as a family of four! Cute little apartment, great parking, clean and cozy. It’s only a two minute walk to the beach, which was very family friendly. Short walk to the super fun boardwalk and all different kinds of restaurants! I’d definitely book this place again.

Hey Kateland! Fundamentally, our job is EASY! Make sure a home is as-advertised, clean and ready for our sunseekers arrival. Outside of Mother Nature, “the human condition” is the variable we assist with the most. Entomology, thermodynamics, veterinary medicine and even interior design are personal responsibilities our office has been tasked with advising on a case-by-case basis! We’ve got no direct lines to Mother Nature regrettably and ever more so, have no ability to guaranty personal vacation plans go untested. What we CAN guaranty is that IF something happens and our efforts can help, we certainly do! As far as for the success of your adventure, those kudos belong ENTIRELY to the positivity, planning and expectations of your party! We thank YOU for both respecting the home which served as a backdrop for these memories but even more importantly, the positivity and example you gifted of yourselves onto the Island! <3 Team SWRE!

Great place to stay at the beach

We really enjoyed this place. The bed and the couch were both very comfortable for sleeping. The place comes with all the basic dishes, pots, pans, etc for cooking and a boatload of wine bottle openers :-) We'd happily stay here again.

Liked: Location
This rental was okay. The location was the best part of staying in this apartment due to it being so close to the beach, restaurants, stores, etc. However, it definitely needs some updates throughout. The bed was extremely squeaky and made noise with even a small movement. The bathroom, kitchen, and living room are pretty outdated and in need of some repairs. Overall, this apartment was convenient, just in need of some updates throughout.

Great location, tons of things to do, came as advertised. Furniture needs replacing, the bare sandy floors desperately needs throw rugs. Plenty of room though and worth the cost.

Hey Kayla! Thanks for the feedback. With this building so close to the sand and surf, some extra sand making its way inside is to be expected. Since we did not receive any concerns for you, we had no way to validate or substantiate your remarks. Per Welcome Message; "Cleaning and Maintenance assistance: •Please reach out __SQUARED AWAY__ for any CLEANING related issues, inquiries, or concerns IMMEDIATELY at check-in as applicable. We stand by the integrity of your home and comfort but cannot assist UNLESS contacted. An email or voicemail is optimal. If something requires a MAINTENANCE or technician visit, please reach out directly to the email maintenance@XYZ with your complete property address, issue, helpful details/photos, and the best contact method and they respond within 24 hours to assist! In the case of an EMERGENCY (HVAC outage during a hot day/active water leak, etc.), please call 910.XXX XXXX. " In the future, before leaving a negative review, definitely consider following respective house rules and allow an owner to assist if an issue does exist. It's why we have them :)

Visiting Kids and Grandkids

The most impressive thing about our stay, was the communication with and attentiveness of the Property Manager Dale. He bent over backwards to see that we were accomodated and happy, which we were. We had to delay our trip for well over a year due to my wife’s illness, and Dale saw to it that we were able to push our reservation without hiccups. It was a great location, a good price, and we will most definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Short walk to the beach. Perfect for little ones in case you need to go back and forth. (2 year old and a 3 month old) Lots of choices within walking distance for food and coffee. I’d recommend a stroller for little ones if you’re walking too far from the suite. Room description was accurate and looked just like the pictures. Quiet location and everyone around was so kind. Easy to check in and check out. Dale was very helpful. We’ll definitely book with you all again in the future.

Great location, very clean

Great place to stay for a small family. Would recommend more updated kitchen items. Pots, pans, silverware especially. Bed slept well, shower was better than most. The one thing that I wish it had was a storm door so you could open the front door and see out. Felt extremely dark and gloomy when it was raining. Other than those few things I’ve mentioned I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone. The beach access was across the street. A couple minutes and you were on the beach,

Great value, awesome location!

We were extremely satisfied with our stay. Dale was great to work with. We arrived a bit early and when we asked if we could go in early he responded within minutes, granting us access… you just do not get that type of response time/customer service typically. He was a step above the rest, truly great. The unit was perfect for my boyfriend and I’s stay. We accessed the beach using the beach access point which was just to the left of the of unit. We found the buildings outside shower on our last day…it is on the back side, up from the trash cans! We left the next guests an extra beach amenity in the unit. An umbrella, umbrella table and umbrella anchor, I hope they are enjoyed by many beach goers to come! Highly recommend, can’t wait to come back!

Parking

Place is excellent. Description of parking needs to in large red print for apartment 1, 2, 3 because only short vehicles fit. No regular size trucks fit. While we were there 3 renters all had to pay to park somewhere else because they did not see the fine print about the small parking spot. Manager will argue and not try to help at all. Renters mistake but would be fixed with a better emphasis on the parking description.
