We asked for assistance to get the TV in the front bedroom connected. Nothing ever happened with that request. It appears that internet connection for that room is different in some way. Would be helpful to have detailed instructions. Both couches need to be replaced. Cushioning is so uncomfortable. View of the ocean is beautiful. Need a comfortable chair, with arms, for reading.

The patio was the perfect place to sit and enjoy the sounds of the beach during the cool breezy times, and it was just a short walk down to the beach on the beach-worthy days. Everything we needed was available, including beach towels. We look forward to going back when we have more time to enjoy the tennis court and pool.

LOVED the views, beach and marsh from this unit. Beds are very comfortable, mattresses seemed new, and kitchen well stocked, new fridge. Building is lovely with wonderful pool and easy access to beach. Fixtures are original and dated, but that didn't bother me in slightest. ONLY negative was condition of bathroom floors, pretty bad shape and probably should have had disclaimer and clean bathmats. We used beach towels to cover floors completely as I realized it wasn't just old tile it was definitely a layer of dirt, which I understand old, unsealed tile will hold dirt, but it was really bad. I would stay here again, communication with agency was fantastic and everything about unit was convenient and suited our family for beach days and views.

Enjoyed the location and accomodations. Only issues, and they are minor, is staircase going upstairs was a constant concern of hitting head and bike in the storage were very old and rusty. Other than that, we loved the place and enjoyed our stay.

Great family trip

Nice place to stay. Elevators and storage room were such a blessing! Plenty of extra chairs and toys for the beach. Rooms were nice with comfy beds. Make sure to pull the knobs out to turn the shower water on. East to get ahold of property management for questions. Would totally stay again!

Stunning view & family friendly

The property is a corner condo on the top floor. Has an elevator for ease of access. The boardwalk to the beach is directly beside the condo with an outdoor shower.The view is spectacular from the outdoor deck. The teens loved the upstairs bedroom with the spiral staircase and their own TV. The location of the condo on the island is away from the hussle and bussle but close enough to drive to dinner in minute.

Wonderful Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was just perfect. Clean, lovely, terrific patio. Couldn't have been better. A couple of suggestions: make sure there are coffee filters and a dvd player would have been nice since we brought Harry Potter to watch....

Best place we’ve stayed!

This was the best vacation spot and the best property management that we have ever had on any of our beach trips! They were so communicative and responsive if we needed anything. The check-in and check-out process was the easiest we’ve had! And we loved that there were no keys to deal with and no office we had to drive to to drop off parking passes. The place we stayed was gorgeous, the views were spectacular, and beach access couldn’t have been easier! There’s even a storage room with a beach cart, toys, chairs, etc. I have nothing but positive things to say! We would love to use Sea Scape again for our beach vacation!

Pros & Cons

Pros- communication was fast and efficient with easy check in/out process Nice grounds, close to water and pool Nice condo layout with very comfortable beds Sulphur smell in water was milder than a previous property we stayed at last year CONS- rental wear is evident in living room couches and bathroom floors -fridge ice-maker didnt produce normal amount of ice, (maintenance did offer to check it out, but we just purchased ice) fridge was warm by the end if stay. Had toilet seal replaced first day (was leaking upon flushing). Kitchen garbage pedal broke, floor made bare feet dirty Overall- would recommend staying, as long as couches were replaced
