10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Overall, my group and I had an amazing experience. Although there was a hiccup in our original unit with the water heater, the host immediately responded and had us put in a separate unit for no additional charge as well as offering a reimbursement. The host was extremely communicative and offered support at all times. The proximity to St. Armand’s and Lido public beaches was fantastic and a minutes walk. I would definitely recommend this property!

We were there for my granddaughters wedding. It was beautiful and liked that the circle was just a short walk away! Condo was nice and beds were comfortable. Also liked the communication from reservation to checking out.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2022
We have visited this property many times over the years as always we love the location proximity to St Armands and Lido Beach which is important to us. Unfortunately this most recent visit presented missteps. 1. 1st day - AC was not working although quickly rectified it is managed remotely therefore the occupants cannot adjust the AC on their own so we froze at night and were moderately comfortable during the day. Occupants need to be able.to adjust the a/c according to their needs. 2. Majority of the beach equipment in the equipment closet is worn and broken; one working umbrella and two nice chairs the rest of the equipment should be discarded. 3. It is customary for vacation rentals to offer full size toiletries for their guest - NOT tiny starter kits 4. Lighting in the condo should be updated: several lamps didn't have bulbs. 5. Better pillows must be offered; ours were flat and tired. 6. This visit the spa and pool were dirty during majority of our visit. Pool cleaning service should be more frequent when more guests/residents are present.
