Winter Getaway

This is the second year we stayed in this condo complex. The town is a short walk for dinner, ice cream, and walking and sunsets at the pier. .The beach is a little longer walk but worth it. We checked out the bikes but didn't think they were in ridable condition. .

Not quite what we hoped

This was our third trip to SSI, and our third time staying at Ocean Walk. We wanted a smaller condo this year, so decided to give this property a try based on its favorable reviews. Based on the other reviews, we expected the property to be nicer than it was. As noted, the location is perfect for accessing most of what SSI has to offer visitors, and the hosts are quite responsive and accommodating. The king bed in the primary was very comfortable.However, the condo itself is in need of updating and a good cleaning. The carpeting is worn and stained, pulling up along the edges and appears mildewed in places. The furniture in the living room is pretty cheaply made and can really only accommodate 3 adults somewhat comfortably, although the condo sleeps 4. There were dirt and crumbs accumulated along the edges and corners of the carpet as well as in the cushions of the couch. The second bedroom was missing pillowcases on 2 of the pillows. The gasket of the washing machine was permanently stained with mildew. At some point, there was an apparent DIY update to the kitchen which resulted in the ceiling being oddly patched together. The balcony deck, railings and furniture were coated in some kind of black soot, which we didn't realize until our feet and hands were covered with it. Although there are 2 bathtubs, the drain stopper did not work in either of them.With some TLC, this could be a great property.

Clean and comfortable

Apartment was clean and in great location. However, we had to deal with a maintenance issue that we were not expecting while on vacation. Missing vertical blinds slats prevented us from enjoying privacy in the living room. Also, body soap and shampoo were not provided. Make sure you bring it to prevent a trip to grocery store!
