A week away from snow

The condo is a three minute walk to the beach. It is clean and well equipped. The laundry and televisions are great. The location is good for getting around the island.

No frills find

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Condo is just a short walk to the beach and not in the crowded area. The condo community is a bit dilapidated and the condo itself looked like it could use some attention. The beds are very very firm and they only provided one pillow and a very thin blanket. So if comfort is key…pack a few more soft things. The air conditioning was not working when we were there so I hope they got that fixed! The management company was amazing, very attentive and helpful. I would have appreciated some discount due to the stuffy, hot house with no windows that open. But oh well. The beach made up for any discomfort. It was gorgeous.

Forest Ridge

Very easy check in, great location. Quiet community. Very clean and updated nicely. The parking was the best feature, right outside and close to unit. King bed was very comfortable, and the unit had everything you needed from kitchen to bathrooms. Actually stayed an extra night because we enjoyed it. Planning on a very quick re-book. Thanks for everything.
