This was a perfect little place for a winter vacation. First off, it's pet friendly and well maintained. They have a great ipen area with grills and allows room for pet's to roam around and kids to play. There is a path that lead tocthe beach. The people on property were super friendly amd we felt very safe during our stay. Definitely planning on coming back!

The washer/dryer was missing knobs. The bunk bed was very loose so when anyone moved, everyone was shaken. Spare room was quite small and had the washer/dryer in there but no tv. Whole space felt smaller than expected.

The condo was clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished. Check in and check out procedures were clear and easy. Beach access was not as easy as I had hoped because of rainy weather that left the beach access trail underwater but the public beach access was only a very short walk away.

Very nice location

The property location was great. The pool was great. My complaint was the beach access. After the gate we had to walk 100 yards through ankle deep mud with our stuff. I wish this was mentioned in the description so we could have planned better.

It was a wonderful weekend celebrating my daughter’s 14th birthday! My only real complaint is the upstairs neighbor, who was extremely loud and kept me up each night. Other than that, the condo was exactly as listed. The pool was clean and the beach access was easy to get to.

The condo itself was very nice. The condominium complex was very loud with people being loud and dogs barking constantly. The pool needed cleaning and the lock on the beach door did not work so my husband had to climb down through the foliage to let us in.

The Condo itself was fine- but the "short walk" to the beach was a bit of a disaster. The wooden boardwalk which was like 50 ft was fine , but then you pass through the gate into Jurrrasic park a swampy marsh- sand and muck over your ankles and biting bugs! We literally sprinted to the beach- spent a few hours and then trecked back - we got bit so many times- we literally were swarmed by mosquitoes and who knows what else. My daughter got bit at least 15-20 times on back and legs and I was close to that as well. We seriously had to go get cortisone cream just stop the itching and pain. We then explored other beach options and found out the East Beach public beach- which we purposely booked close to for dog friendly and bathrooms- was closed for renovations! - None of this was mentioned when we secured the rental! Not good! :(- We ended up finding Massengil beach and had to drive each day and find parking to go to the beach because obviously we were not going to use the walk way to to get eaten up by the bugs again. And we were not the only ones! We met numerous people at the Ship Watch Pool that were suffering the same issues!! Adults and kids alike. We made the best of the situation- because that’s our nature, but we were extremely disappointed.

Very disappointed! The room has not been updated in years and both beds were extremely uncomfortable. The boardwalk to the beach is not actually a boardwalk to the beach. It’s a boardwalk to a flooded path that leads to the beach. CANNOT recommend this property.

Property was somewhat dated, and could use some upgrades. Window treatments were old and falling apart-adjustment for louver on one bedroom fell off, and plastic for lock to balcony slider did the same. Drapes on balcony slider were jury rigged on one side. Furniture seemed rather dirty. Location was great, as was the pool-path to beach was "marshy," so we didn't use it. HVAC worked great-much appreciated during the hot/humid days.

Less Than Mediocre

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo has not had any type of upgrades or replacements in years. The mattresses are deplorable. The description states there is a boardwalk to the beach. Actually, there is a boardwalk to a path that is overgrown and while we were there, flooded. We ended up packing all of our stuff in the car and driving to the coast guard station (public access) which would have been fine if we hadn’t been made to believe we could access it from the condo. SO disappointing.

They definitely need to remove Oceanfront as it’s very misleading. Also it really is not convenient to most places. The long walk to the beach was TERRIBLE and if you have anyone with you that has difficulties walking they won’t be able to go to the beach. It feels like you have to go through swampland to get there. Take lots of bug spray because your walk through the swamp will get you ate up by mosquitoes. Although I took my dogs they don’t bark constantly like the ones next door. Constant barking and also the condo above us must have had a ton of kids running and stomping all day and night long. It was definitely not a peaceful nor a quiet vacation. Although these things I understand can’t be helped by management it was still disappointing. The pool was nice and all in all the place was very clean. Just disappointed that the beach was so far away and not accessible to elderly people or any with difficulties walking very far. Definitely not a boardwalk to the beach. The weather was beautiful our entire stay so that was a plus. I just feel like the description was very misleading. It’s a very small condo. The elevator was broken on the day we left so that was inconvenient and back breaking with luggage. The beach access gate decided not to work one night and on that same evening the shower off area handle broke off and was spraying water every where. I’ve stayed in much nicer condos in st Simonds and was disappointed in this one.

The unit was clean and as described. King bed was uncomfortable and washer/dryer worked despite not being able to tell the wash cycle from the old knob. Aside from being pet friendly, the complex on the other hand was disappointing. We stayed in the complex in 2020 and don't remember the noise from units above- not much sound proofing when someone walks or opens the sliding glass door. We took the boardwalk to the beach our first day there and when it ends, we had a further walk through marshy dunes. I'm sure the beach erosion has changed over the years, but we drove to East Beach the rest of the week and wouldn't stay at this complex again for that fact alone.
