It was in a good location for everything we wanted to do. It was comfortable and relaxing! Plenty of room! Would definitely rent again. The whole are very nice and accommodating. The only thing that would’ve made it a little bit easier for us is if we could’ve checked in a little bit earlier, I can understand not 23 hours earlier but you know if you got there between three and four with chicken Thomas 4 o’clock that it would’ve been OK to have the information and be able to check in at that time and not have to wait.

We brought my dog so that was an extra 62.00. It was extremely close to the Grand Galvez which was the wedding venue. The condo is very basic with only 1 lamp in the entire place. No bedside tables with reading lamps. The small bathrooms had no flat surfaces to put any toiletries on...except the floor. Now I know to scrutinize pictures better and what to look for. It was what it was.Next time I'll splurge and stay at The Grand Galvez.

Really lovely home, clean and in a beautiful neighborhood! Check in was so easy and we spent our evenings after dinner on the front porch. Quiet area and close to everything! My only suggestion would be some wine glasses, otherwise we had everything we needed and had a great time!!!

Great location within walking distance of both the beach and The Strand! Love the porch and enjoyed quiet evenings hanging out while the pups watched the neighborhood birds.
