The staff was friendly. Parking was easy. The AC/heat worked great. The kitchen was lacking knives and basic cooking items, and had no dishwasher. There was a coffee maker, but were no filters. The room was VERY sparse. No rugs, no throw blankets, old decor, small TV in an awkward spot. There was no place in the bathroom to put toiletries--just a small pedestal sink with no counter. The place felt and smelled like a cheap hotel. I think other units may be better as each unit seems to be individually owned, so I would ask more questions before just booking any room.

Old. Not updated. Dining table was sticky. Banister was sticky.
The room needed serious renovation. The kitchen was poorly equiped. If you plan on cooking, you will need to bring (or buy) all the basic ingredients such as salt and pepper, oil, vinegar, ketchup etc.... There was not even a pen or a pair of scissors.
We chose a one bedroom appartment with ocean view, but you cannot see the ocean since you are at the first floor and the view is completely obstructed. So, don't waste your money on a ocean view! I would not recommend this place except for the location next to Driftwood Beach.
The room was clean and had everything we needed. The set up was good. The staff was excellant at answering questions and quick at addressing any problems we had. The location of our condo was great.
Nice suite with a comfortable bed. We enjoyed the grounds. They were beautiful. Will definitely stay again

Parking was easy in front of the unit, the unit was clean and very well supplied with toiletries and kitchen supplies. The front desk staff were very accommodating to put my family in nearby units.
The villa was comfortable, all the appliances worked as expected. It was peaceful and quiet. Sadly, the onsite restaurant was closed.

When we checked in. We discovered we were in an upstairs apartment, a mini villa. I begged for a switch to bottom floor & stated i would pay the difference. They would not budge. The place was nearly empty. They must hate people that book on your site. We are older, the stairs are steep and it would have been nice to know in the description.

The staff at the desk were lovely. The villa we stayed in was clean. The cushions on the couch and chairs need replacing as they were pretty much flat. The bed was also in need of replacement.
Everything was wonderful - except for the night shift lady! She just didn't want to be there! Everyone else we encountered was super nice and it was a great time. A couple of the rooms were a little outdated but that's to be expected with private owned villas. We were there for my daughter's wedding and overall, it was fabulous.
Room was exactly as advertised. It was nice, clean and modern. The restaurant was a real surprise. We were in town for the shrimp & grits festival but the best S&G we had was at the hotels restaurant.
