This was a lovely place to stay, very clean and comfortable. We loved the views. The walk to the beach was pretty long. It would've been nice to have a golf cart.

absolutely had one of the best trips we’ve had in years. Royal Destinations are pros. The home is spectacular with many high end touches. The views are incredible and an easy walk to the beach. What we liked the most is the beach was never crowded. Easy bike ride to neighboring communities and excellent restaurants. Definitely look forward to coming back here.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, it was a FABULOUS place to spend a week. So serene and nice. It is about a 1/2 mile of a walk to the beach, so others are aware. It’s a lovely walk though. The constructive feedback that I have is that I believe this rental should include beach chair service. I’ve rented many other properties in WaterSound and they all came with beach chair service. At this price point, I would expect it. The persistent attempts of up-selling from the rental company became annoying as well. Again, at this price point - I would expect a higher level of treatment.
