8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
Appreciated the walking distance to the Shanty Creek restaurant/speakeasy location.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
Tressia was a super responsive host, no matter the hour. Very awesome. The place itself is very spacious. I thought it was clean overall, other than a couple of stains on the carpet as another reviewer had noted, but the bathrooms were clean etc. Nice amenities, cute resort area with restaurants within a two minute walk. This is a lower unit, which I didn't realize until after booking, so if you have problems with stairs, this is probably not the place for you. If stairs are no issue, then by all means, book it. It's not that many stairs, but still .. I think that for the amount of space you get and for the amenities provided, this is an excellent value. We almost always VRBO when we travel, and I can say that this is one of the more spacious and convenient (in terms of bathrooms, laundry, available sleeping arrangements) places that we've stayed, especially for the price. I would book again.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
We stayed Aug 15-18. The condo was fine, as expected, and appointed with furnishings for a comfortable stay. Property manager was flexible allowing us to check in a couple hours earlier than posted. Upon checking in, we noticed the private beach pass available with the stay was missing. We immediately contacted the Property Manager to report and was informed we would have it for the weekend. The pass was never received, which was disappointing considering the weather was beautiful all weekend except for Saturday evening rains. A higher rating would have been given as excellent if we could have used the advertised amenities. The property manager did reach out Monday morning and apologized.
