This property was great, just as advertised on VRBO. You can’t beat the views from the three different decks. The lagoon was my favorite, every day you’d see a variety of birds, turtles, deer, flying fish and don’t forget the alligator’s!! The beds were comfortable, plenty of bath towels. The responses from the rental company were helpful and quick if I ever had questions. Another perk which was an added bonus through this rental were the complimentary activities through Xplorie and they too, were wonderful to deal with. Seaside Cycles a must because its a great way to get down to the clubhouse and beach access locations and just to peddle around to see the beautiful homes and views. This particular property was a perfect location to beach access, the pool, clubhouse and a short drive to Freshfields Village for groceries at Teeter Harris and window shopping.
For the drawbacks: Did not like that we had to pay $5.00 /person for towels to use at the pool. That certainly adds up for multiple family members for the week.
Did not like that we had to pay additional fees to use the fitness center and the indoor pool.
The two drawers on either side of the stove don’t open all the way due to poor design. If you like to cook vs going out to eat the kitchen area is not that big so you wont have a lot of space to work with.
The worst thing that occurred on the 4th night of our stay was that there was a Palmetto bug AKA cockroach. It was found in the main bedroom and then again another was found the next day under the dining table. We were pretty upset and grossed out.
Definitely more pros then cons!! I would return to South Carolina if given the chance.
