We're so happy to have you back — thank you for choosing to stay with us again! It means a lot that you love the condo and its layout. We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you again next year!
The condo was great. Very clean. Only complaint I have is the dryer door wouldn’t stay closed. But was able to prop a rod to hold it shut.
Would stay here again for sure!

This property did not disappoint. It was exactly as described. The check-in process was easy and flawless. But the best part - the view from the living room and balcony. Wow!
Disappointed that there was no hot tub as described in the listing. Condo in need of a good cleaning and updating.

The unit was very clean. The beds were not that comfortable and the blankets felt like plastic. The pool was too cold to swim in (we went in October) and the management would NOT turn on the pool heater.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 October 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear the unit was clean and we will pass along your concerns about the beds to the appropriate party. The Islander Homeowners Association is responsible for the pool and the heater is not turned on until Thanksgiving. We hope to have another opportunity to host you again!

Yes it was very enjoyable. Just a suggestion to the owner, the electric range heating eyes are very unlevel and a problem using, also the living room couch is rather uncomfortable. Other than those two things is a wonderful place to stay.

The unit itself is nice but it was not well cleaned before our stay.Not family friendly with littles as there was not one plastic cup or plate.No hand soap or dish soap. Bring EVERYTHING!We could not use the patio because other tenants were smoking different things from sun up to sun down.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 November 2023
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry for these inconveniences. I do suggest taking a look at Pelican Isle as it is a property that only allows smoking in the designated areas of the property. Come back soon to utilize your return guest discount!

We loved this unit! We’ve stayed at this condo building several times but this is the first time for this unit. Everything was decorated nicely and we loved having the king bed and 2 full beds in the 2nd bedroom. The only thing that was missing was a hair dryer. A lot of the units had one so that is the only thing I’d add.
