Absolutely Lovely

We had a wonderful stay at Island Retreat #23. The unit was beautifully decorated and well stocked (there were even coffee filters!). We are a family of 6, and fit very comfortably. The 2 sets of bunk beds in the bunk room gave us some flexibility with sleeping arrangements, which we really appreciated. The condo was recently redone, and, as of our stay, the pictures did not reflect the improvements. It made for a pleasant surprise, but it is beautiful and they really should update those pictures. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels, it was nicely furnished (with lots of little storage spots), the AC unit worked well, and the appliances were great. There was even a blender! We really appreciated the well maintained grounds and the boardwalk to the beach. There was an outdoor shower/hose available for rinsing off sand which was incredibly handy! We rented a golf cart through the property manager and had a great experience. They offer delivery and pickup for a small fee which made the process seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would not hesitate to book this unit again!

Great location

Very clean, great use of space. Short walk and easy access to beach, nice pool and park area with basketball court. This is an older development but you wouldnt know from the inside. This unit has been completely renovated. The kitchen to living area space is a bit cramped but that wasnt a problem for us. Thank you! We will be back.
