We booked the condo on this review, however, due to an issue, the owners moved us to a different condo that was actually larger. We all loved the new condo and the amazing view from the very large balcony! A special thank you to the owners for the amazing customer service. Highly recommend!

It was definitely a vacation to remember, as this is a wonderful place to stay! The sunrise and ocean were breathtaking waking up to each morning. Being able to walk from the condo to the beach was the cherry on top!

Fishing trip
Property was clean and well kept. A perfect size for two friends who don’t share a bed! Very easy access to the beach. Management should put 2 or 3 kitchen towels and a couple of pot holders in the kitchen and sheets that fit the full size bed (they seem to have queen size sheets on the full size beds)

Great place! Needs a few light bulbs, handle needs to be fixed on sliding glass door (very sharp metal piece sticking out) and this would help to close door. We look forward to returning!!

Great location
We loved the overall property. Our condo was very clean. Several lights were burned out. The handle to the balcony was broken. It seems like no one had checked on the property in a while. The last review before our stay was in May of 2024 and it was positive. So either they didn’t turn on the lights or go out on the balcony or they were the ones who broke everything. Our contact responded quickly but must live somewhere else because something very important was missing and it took until the next evening to get it delivered. We lived the pool! We will come back but stay at a different condo.

This was the perfect spot for our annual Girls’ Weekend. The condo was on the beach and we really enjoyed being able to easily come back for lunch. The space was clean and just the right size for us for a long weekend getaway.

Great place for a family with young kids.
This is the fourth year in a row we have stayed at island retreat, different rooms though. The place is great and the location is perfect. You can see the water from the second floor and can easily walk to the water. Close proximity to plenty of restraunts. I never have played but they do have a pool and tennis courts on the property. Property manager at this condo is great, we had to make changes to our plans twice and they were quick to accomidate. Overall great place for a small family.

Bathroom hiccups
The condo was slightly bigger than I thought. The bathroom could use more hooks for wet clothes. Bathroom could use a better shower curtain as the current falls down and off anytime it’s touched. Hit my kid twice in the head. The toilet lid needs to be tightened and resecured. The dishwasher soap lid wouldn’t latch. The good was the location and access to the beach, short drive to downtown, view is amazing and the beds were comfy. The temporary ac unit worked Great!

Sunrise and Beach Splendor
We made sure to set an early alarm to watch the sunrise on the balcony. What a beautiful view from the balcony. The sound of crashing waves and view of them added to the outdoor viewing experience. There were plenty of birds to watch flying by along the shore. The short walk to the beach has a nice boardwalk. We took advantage of it to enjoy the water. Humidity was high but it didn’t damper our stay in the least.

Nice Property
We really enjoyed our stay this past weekend. The location could not have been better and the amenities on site were wonderful! We loved the walkway to the beach. The unit itself was clean and had everthing we needed for our stay. The view from the unit was beautiful and breathtaking. We spent a lot of time on the balcony taking it all in. Had a bit of trouble regulating the ac until to anything but super cold of just the fan. We could have used a blanket or two as to help with the cold. Other than that, our stay was perfect.

Wonderful accommodations !
Our stay at Island Retreat could not have been better ! We were able to book a room with a beautiful view of the shoreline, and we fully enjoyed seeing the sea from our patio and the windows. The room was so clean and comfortable, with every amenity we could have asked for. We will come back to the Island Retreat !

Loved the ocean views and sitting on the balcony. Also loved that we could walk over the dunes straight onto the beach!! The space is compact but very comfortable. And finishes are all very well done. We are looking at our calendar to plan the next trip to book this property.

Meets all your basic needs
If you want a place that is incredibly close to the beach, close to a pool & feels safe, this could be your best fit. If you want something sexier, new/updated, with bells & whistles, you may want to keep looking. The condo will meet all your basic needs - full kitchen, space to eat, small living area, 2 beds & full bath. The pictures & description are accurate. It is an older unit in an older complex. This did not bother me as I was there on a photography trip & just needed a place to rest my head & get ready in the morning. A few thoughts on how the condo could be slightly improved - reinstall the toilet paper holder, replace the cracked window, clean or repaint the balcony (someone smeared dirt on the walls) & either replace the storm door that was obviously there at one time or remove all the unneeded hardware for the door frame. That being said, I would consider this condo again if visiting the area.
