Very good

Room was exactly as advertised. It was nice, clean and modern. The restaurant was a real surprise. We were in town for the shrimp & grits festival but the best S&G we had was at the hotels restaurant.
The evening gentleman at check in was great! Very informative and kind. The food in their restaurant was wonderful and outstanding service by our waiter Angel! I really liked him! So much to do around the area and so many beautiful beaches. The villa we stayed in was clean except for the blue pill my grandson found and gave to me. Luckily he knew to do that so his little brother was safe.
Beautiful property overall. Location is great and proximity to Driftwood Beach was awesome. We really enjoyed our stay. Our villa was sufficient and the amenities provided were pretty much everything we needed. It felt spacious for a “mini” but some updating is needed and it would benefit from a deep cleaning.
Easy parking. Nice pool. Everything was clean. Nice view. Short walk to beach access. Island is small, only a short drive or bike ride to restaurants and groceries.
The condo was exceptionally clean. The area is quiet and off the beaten path. The walk to the beach is short. Getting to the water is quite awful!! The stairs and railing leave a good drop off and getting back up was very difficult. If you have littles this would not be a place you would like to stay. For the elderly it would be extremely difficult to impossible. If my husband wasn't close enough to catch me I would have fallen backwards and been severely hurt. We enjoyed our stay but the beach experience was very disappointing .
Had a unit near driftwood beach. Amazing views and access to driftwood was short walk. Unit was clean and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and would book here again. Checking in and out was fast and friendly.
Staff was incredibly friendly. Unit was simple yet clean; a great value for the price. Grounds were beautiful and we were walking distance to Driftwood Beach. We would definitely recommend it to others!

It was okay, not horrible, not great. Over all it was fine. For what we paid I would have expected better quality furnishings. The building was old, bathroom super small. Found one palmetto bug & one cockroach in our room over our stay. No housekeeping unless you request it.
Villa was nice as usual but our fridge was noticeably very dusty on top upon our arrival. The fitness room equipment was outdated, worn out and in need of repair.
Room was well beyond what I expected. Clean, spacious, great view of the ocean, and well supplied with everything needed for our stay. Staff was very polite and courteous. Grounds well kept and activities on property for all ages.
Really nice, comfortable resort. Easy beach access, nice pool. Nice (though pricey) restaurant on site.
The beach access is extremely limited because there is zero access from mid to high tide. But it's lovely during low tide. I almost always had it to myself. It is very close to other more accessible beaches.
My stay (end of Sept '25) was peaceful and the resort not overly crowded. My room was quiet and tranquil until the last night when a family with young children checked in just over me. Every step the kids took (nonstop running for 3 hours that night) shook my entire ceiling. They were also up at 7 a.m. my last morning. They were the only little kids I saw my entire stay, so clearly the place was not overrun.
Maybe kids on the ground floor would be better...?
All in all, a lovely place and I will definitely be back
