Well located, comfortable unit
This was a nice, clean and well located unit. TV had Netflix, but I suspect that may have been from a prior guest. Some noise from unit next door, dog barked when it heard us, and conversations could be heard as well. Nice shower, owner provided extension cord for charging golf cart.

Awesome Location!
The suite was much bigger than we thought it would be. Which was fantastic for the four of us! The location was perfect! And we were lucky to get Suite One… Where we had enough room in the driveway to park a six person golf cart. (We had a baby with us who had to be in a car seat.) I would say the only complaint would be that the cleaning staff does not seem to clean the floors. They sweep them… But you can’t walk barefoot on them or your feet will turn black. Other than that, we had a wonderful time! Check in and check out were very easy and the property managers are very communicative! I would definitely stay there again!

Cute condo close to everything!
We truly enjoyed our stay. The condo was so clean when we first arrived, and had everything we needed. You wouldn’t know you were staying in a “studio” because we felt like we had plenty of space. Maria, who keeps the condos cleaned and stocked, was so sweet and I really enjoyed talking to her. She made sure we got extra towels/toilet paper when we needed them. The host was very responsive to all my questions and very accommodating. I will say that you do share walls with the other suites, and the first two nights we had very noisy neighbors who woke us up early, but that’s not the host’s fault. Just something to be aware of. There is a common room where they provide you drinking water as well as an awesome porch up front! And if you tell the host you’re renting a golf cart they will make sure you have an extension cord to charge it. We had such a wonderful vacation and I look forward to coming back.

Just as advertised!
I really enjoyed my stay!! It was super easy to communicate with Kelly; she responded quickly to my questions. Check-in was a snap! The suite offered everything I needed, just as advertised. The queen bed in the main room was very comfortable! I have stayed here several times under previous ownership, and I just want to say that the current owners have made noticeable, significant upgrades!! I have no hesitation in highly recommending this property, and look forward to staying again!!

Clean, Convenient, and Spacious
This unit is part of a large house divided into many units. The place was spotless and equipped for all that we needed and more. The bed was comfortable and the window A/C units keep the place comfortable. It is located down a back street in a residential neighborhood, very close to places to eat. From this place, we were able to ride our bikes to the town, lighthouse, and to the Cedar Island Ferry terminal area. The only issue, potentially for some, is that there is no sound proofing between your unit and the one next to you, so you could hear their conversation. If you close the living room door, it does help though. Fortunately, all people staying were relatively quiet and kept the same hours as we did. Overall, it was an excellent stay and we would return without hesitation.

Quick getaway
The property was super clean and the property manager was super responsive. First night was great. Super quiet tenants above us. Second night not so much. The tenant above us was super loud all night. However, that is not on the property manager. Just inconsiderate tenants. Overall, we really liked this property and would recommend it to others.

Basic
The place was in a convenient location, pretty much within walking distance of most things. Amenities were basic. Bring your own sheets, towels, toiletries, and blankets. Nothing fancy, but served the purpose. It was pretty spacious and parking was easy. Clean and easy to get in and out of. Hostess was easy to work with, but we really didn't have anything that needed attention.
