Island Princess by Southern Vacation Rentals

8/10 Good

"Condo was very nice and had a balcony view of the ocean. My only complaint is there were a few small things that probably needed attention. The outdoor GFCI outlet was non-functional and the kitchen sink and shower head were both pretty loose, these are just nitpicky things though. Over all, the property was great and had a very convenient location. Pool was clean and all door codes worked perfectly, Beach access made the stay very nice as well. We will definitely come back in the future and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet stay right on the beach!"

Sea Oats by Southern Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time with family"
