Convenient to everything

We enjoyed our stay. Room was perfect size for us. It was a little dated but that’s ok too. Older places always bring back the nostalgia of beach trips of the past. Kathy with the rental company was always responsive and helped us with any questions we had.

Thank you Benji!! We try our very hardest to be attentive. There are 3 of us with our phones on ready to respond to our guests questions or requests. And you’re right. This little place is more of classic beachy, pre pandemic style 😉. This is also the most affordable place on the whole island and one of the closest to the beach too! Always clean as a whistle and a little beachy cheesy too. Come have affordable fun with us on a private resort island. Thanks for staying with us!! Kathy

Relaxing

We had a relaxing stay great location once we found it. Gate guard needs to explain location instead of just handing out a map GPS was no help either finally found it after returning to the gate for clarification. The location and accommodations were great for a short getaway.

Wonderful weekend getaway

I have visited the island multiple times and stayed in a couple different places. The sunsuites are a great option. This particular one is on the ocean side, just steps to the beach and pool. Great location, super clean, and had everything needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was wonderful and very responsive. Highly recommend.

Exceeded our expectations

This place was perfect for us and our two little ones. Great price and a lot of amenities! Would definitely stay again and recommend to others! Great location for the beach, restaurants, & activities! Many things in walking distance from this lovely condo complex, yet it still feels quiet and cozy. Our condo was decorated beautifully and was clean from top to bottom at check in. Definitely exceeded our expectations!

Overall the stay was good! My only concern was the top bunk didn't have a rail so I was waking up to every sound making sure my son wasn't about to fall off the bed lol. Would consider staying again if I could find a solution to this.

Underwhelming and Outdated

The pictures and description are exactly what you are renting. It would have been advantageous to us all if you had reached out, while you were here, and expressed your dissatisfaction for the $125 per night accommodations you had picked for your one night stay on a private resort island.

Everything was great! Just as described. It's a compact room, but with everything needed to be comfortable when not at the beach. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, and the beach itself felt remote even with all the buildings nearby. At low tide there was so much beach!! I got the resort passes but none of the facilities were pet friendly and they were quite adament about my wife not even carrying our tiny dog where pets weren't allowed. We made do. The beach itself was very pet friendly! We found a pet friendly restaurant about 10 min drive away that was great for dinners. We made one trip to the grocery store and we were set for the few days we were there for the other meals. The small full size fridge, microwave, coffee maker and stove made the rest of the meals easy. Overall great experience!

Like staying in a container, no dryer Had to spend a more money $200.00 for two people just to buy a hamburger or get in the pool then rent a tent a $500 golf cart to get around Last time for my family and friends and everyone I talk , see about how pictures are not what you are paying for or where I come from lied to

What a silly review! You didn't buy even buy the Resorts club cards! And, the information about the Resort club is posted in the listing description before you book, as soon as you inquire about booking, as soon as you book, and several times before you arrive. We also gave you an early check in and worked with you in every way possible. Sorry you didn't enjoy your time at the beach. Just a suggestion before your next trip....read up about where you are going on vacation before renting someone's place and giving them a 1 star! Geez!
