It was a great place to stay for the price. The area was clean place to stay and friendly. Its beach access was great and a very short walk. The pictures and descriptions accurately represented the room we stayed in. Kids loved the area and the beach. It was a great vacation! Would recommend it to anyone.

Cute & Cozy
It definitely needs a few updates in kitchen & bathroom but clean. I recommend a few item for kitchen: salt, pepper, coffee filters at the very least

Pool closed early and the light at the bbq pit did not work.
Otherwise it was a great stay with no issues!

Property had listed a private balcony which does not exist. This is a first floor unit with one window that overlooks a parking lot. It is located in the Island Retreat resort which is very nice with 2 pools, a tennis court, basketball courts, pickle ball etc. Large open green space with grills and picnic tables as well as a coin operated laundry on site. The beach is accessible from two points over a long board walk over the dunes. You can drive to park closer to the boardwalk or the beach is about a 10 minute walk from the unit.
The unit itself is one of three units managed by an offsite company...we found the company to be nice and responsive...but don't expect to just go to the office onsite to get a towel or deal with any situation.
The unit itself was clean and well equipped except as mentioned before there is no dish soap, dish towels, or wash cloth to clean dishes with so be sure to bring them.

"The property is in a great location near the beach. This was a trip with my granddaughter. We enjoyed the pool and short walk to the beach. The room was clean and comfortable."
