We didn’t use the pool, walked the inlet beach and visited Hunting Island several days. The villa was very clean and updated! Would stay again.

Clean and Great Location!
The condo was perfectly clean. The balcony overlooks a beautiful marsh and beach view towards Hunting Island and was relaxing to sit on. The beach entrance is very close and made it perfect to get to with kids. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Kassandra thank you for your 5-star review and please come stay with us again!
This place is awesome, room just as noted on line, bed was so comfy, close to beach, extra bonus was a free pass to Hunting Island, a must see, good places to eat, Johnson’s restaurant was excellent, loved this place.
We have been coming to this area for the last five years. This place is a wonderful quiet location with everything you need. We really enjoy the fresh strawberries nearby and especially Seaside a local restaurant. You won't be disappointed staying here.
The condo was very nice & well taken care of. We had the benefit of having the beach right out our back door. The neighborhood was private, quiet & safe. We truly enjoyed our time!

This was our 2nd annual girl’s trip to this condo. It is in the perfect location, clean, and a short walk to the beach. The kitchen was fully supplied and we were not in want of anything while there. We will plan our girls trip to this condo again next summer!
Nicely updated. If you only need a 1-bedroom this is a great spot. Easy access front and back of the condo.

Great place to stay. Clean, relaxing and very much like home. Comfortable bed and nice kitchen area. Very nice to have a dual coffee pot too. The weather was amazing with no clouds in the sky. Plan on booking this location again. Quick response from management team and they are very organized in getting you set up. Highly recommended. Thanks!
Everything was as advertised and more. Spotless and comfortable! Make sure you eat at JOHNSON CREEK TAVERN right down the road. Awesome service and fresh seafood.

Hi, the homeowner would like to pass along the following message: "Thank you, Steven. We are happy you loved our condo and Johnson Creek Tavern is great! Their salads and burgers are also awesome!"
A very nice condo near all amenities. Kitchen not well equipped for cooking, but realize most people eat out now. I would stay here again, and just bring my own cooking needs
First time to the area. It was such a beautiful quaint place. Very private and safe. Property was super clean and easy to get to. Would love to return soon!
Nice neighborhood that has a secluded feel to it. Couldnt ask for anything different.

From the Owner: "Kellie, I am sorry but I never received any messages from you. If I had, I would have responded. Please come back and stay with us again."
Our family was very pleased with our stay at this condo. The cleanliness, the comfort of the bed and fold out, access to the beach, and the location was all great! We were just 10 mins from Hunting Island state park beach which was awesome, and the pass included with the stay was a HUGE plus since we went there multiple times. The Villa's were peaceful, everyone was friendly, and there are multiple beach access points. We also enjoyed exploring the grounds on our down time. Highly recommend!
Comfortable bed and furniture. Super close to beach access. Nice beach chairs. Lovely but small updated kitchen and new washer dryer. We have stayed at other units in this complex and this was by far the most updated. Can be a bit noisy if your neighbors get loud.
