The unit we stayed in was very nice. My whole family rented units for a golf tournament . Every one of the units had extremely dirty floors. Our white socks were very black after walking in stocking feet for one day. I don't think housekeeping is washing floors at all. Other than that, the unit we stayed in was quite clean and well equiped. I wanted to attach a picture of the disgusting socks, but could not do so here.

A lovely location

We love staying at the Villas but this time our bed was not comfortable. My husband even said “horrible”. Each unit, however is unique. So this doesn’t mean all beds there are bad.

The units are owned by separate owners but managed by the resort, so the particular furnishings of each unit may vary depending on owner. Ours had a pull out couch which we requested. The front desk was attentive and there was coffee in the morning. One thing that could have been better about our particular unit is that there was no counter in the bathroom whatsoever, we had to put our cooler in there to have a place to set anything. The best thing about this place was the proximity of driftwood beach- very walkable, easy to get there for sunrise and then good birding on this little salt marsh walk. Didn’t like the pub side of the restaurant that much for the price, but did use the kitchenette to make dinner the next night. Didn’t try the pool or the bike rentals, but they looked great.

Excellent service but uncomfy bed

We had a 1 bedroom ground floor ocean view villa and would rent one of these again. All of the staff from the front desk to the maintenance staff to our wait staff in the restaurant were excellent. We have told the front desk that the bed rolled into the middle and was very uncomfortable. It was very cold while we were there, below freezing at night. There was only a light summer spread on the bed and no spare blankets and we had not checked that until bedtime. Housekeeping responded immediately the next morning but even running the heat pump all night, our first night was not a comfortable one.

Loved my stay during the off season. It was quiet and relaxing. The property is well maintained. It's right next to Driftwood Beach which was nice when catching the sunrise on the beach. Your can also watch the sunrise from the deck chairs on the pavilion. I would stay at this location again.

Surprise RESORT fees

The BIG surprise was in check in. I was expecting to pay $46 resort fee and it ended up being $61. They have a few more fees than last time, which was $38. This was a total surprise. The stay was nice, however the toilet was not bolted to the floor on both sides. It moved constantly. The floors seemed dirty.

Check in was quick, unit in a quiet area and it was a one bedroom oceanview unit with kitchen. Unit size was good but a little outdated. Bathroom fan was extremely noisy and it turns on with the light. Bed was a bit to firm and caused some aches. View and convenience to beach was great. No shells on this beach front but many clam holes. We enjoyed Driftwood beach and Hortons pond trail, both very close by. The restaurant for dinner was closed till November and the breakfast area was closed on Sundays and Mondays which happen to be the days of our stay. We went the 3rd week in September and weather was warm.
