Williamsburg Condo Stay

Everything was as described and it was very clean and organized. I especially was happy that I could cook, wash clothes, do dishes, etc. Barry was an excellent communicator and made me feel welcome. Very enjoyable experience. I’m looking forward to next year to stay there. Oh and so close to the beach. I enjoyed my stay very much.

Host was welcoming. Site was available as advertised. Host was accessible responsive. I t was a nice place to stay.TV was the easiest to use we've had in this location, and others in the past couple years. Streaming is not useful. Most difficult was the 3rd floor location. We can manage now. Hoepfully in a couple years. Would be good to know it is a 3rd floor location upfront. Overall, we like the location and the place. I would recommend it.

Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Unfortunately our stay wasn't what we had hoped for. When we got to the property two in our group got stung, pretty badly, by bees in the stairwell. Had to call the maintenance people to come spray. Then the key code we were originally given worked the first time, but after the bee incident we left only to return and find out it didn't work so we had to get a new one. Barry was okay with communicating with us, but we ended up cutting our stay short due to the wildfires in Canada and the air quality being so poor. (That part had nothing to do with the property and we recognize that). Overall our stay was fine at best, the walk to the beach was farther than anticipated and our view was of trees and the driveway. Probably won't be returning.

Close to beach condo

Condo is a great location just steps away from Lake Michigan. Love the access to the beach. Went to pool since my partners parents are club members but technically not included with this condo. Decor is slightly outdated and could use some updates. Pictures were accurate so we knew in advance. We had issue with the water smell and notified owner.

Definitely could use a good clean, streaks on mirrors, sand and dirt all over the washer, finger prints all over the cupboards, left over old ice. Outdoor tables were dirty.Bedding was great, main bed was very comfortable. The pullout was very nice but could be replaced as it sinks in the middle. Not enough big towels or TP but we appreciated the shampoo and conditioner. The body wash should be replaced as it was separated. As well as the soap dispensers were rusty. Overall I give this a 4 star because you can tell the effort in items for convenience were there! Like sandbox toys, dishware etc. It's a little walk to the beach but it was a great location. New cleaning service is definitely needed but if that changed, overall it was great! Great communication and very friendly!

You get EXACTLY what is listed

This place was exactly as listed, down to the number of towels and pillows provided and the check in time. The check in process was a little frustrating. We had asked for an early check in and were told that we would most likely be able to check in by 1pm. We did not get the text that it was ready until 3pm. I wish he would have told us that they would be unable to provide an early check in rather than trying to make it appear that they are accommodating. The space itself is very nice. It feels like a hotel. The beach access is nice and the community is more residential than touristy. There really was nothing wrong with it, they just won’t be able to accommodate any kind of change or addition.

Perfect little get away!

Cute little place, very clean, and a nice bathroom (always my pet peeve, this one is GOOD!) No cons, only some minor inconveniences: - Pool was closed, not sure if because of Covid or what -Beach area patio is for members of the hotel. Chairs in sand are first come, first serve. May want to take a chair to be safe you get one! And people nab them quick! -Bed is super uncomfortable. All in all - great place. Cute, quaint, clean, and close to everything. I definitely plan to book again.
