Great family vacation

This condo is beautifully furnished, and located right on the beach. The patio is perfect for meals, relaxing, and watching the water. Everything we needed was provided. This was our second stay, and I’m sure we will be back again.

FABULOUS!

This condo was fabulous in so many ways! We were amazed with all the “extras” that aren’t usually included, i.e., laundry detergent and fabric softener, beach chairs and towels, modern washer/dryer, toilet paper, a Keurig coffee-maker and various types of coffee pods, and lots of TV streaming services. The unit was spotless and the beds were so comfortable. Island Tower is right on the beach where there is a beach service right there. The beach service people set up our chairs and umbrellas and checked on us periodically throughout the day to see if we needed anything. Lots of food fare within walking distance. The owner was available for contact and could not have been nicer! We had an amazing vacation and would rent again!! Thank you Will and Anne!

Great place for a family vacation

The condo was really nice and provided everything a family could need for a vacation, and the spacious balcony offered a great place for the family to gather and enjoy the view. The owner was accommodating and went above and beyond what I expected from her to ensure that our vacation was flawless! Hope to stay in this unit again.

Amazing condo with exceptional hosts

This condo has everything you could want at a place. The hosts definitely thought of the little details. They were easy to communicate with and offered a special touch for our stay. The location has a beautiful view. We enjoyed drinking coffee on the balcony each morning and watching the dolphins.

Worthy of 6 stars!

Exceeds expectations! Besides the view, location, and accommodations being top-notch, the owners Annie and David have provided everything you could possibly need... from towels and beach gear to coffee and Tervis cups. We loved it here so much we booked again, and enjoyed both stays tremendously! Our fave!!
