Convenient boardwalk and large balcony. Everything you need in the kitchen. I would definitely stay again. Good communication with rental company. Wish we would have stayed longer! ##### Kelley R. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne C. 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We All Loved It! We were a multi-generational family group, ages 4 to 74, and we all had a great time. The condo accommodated 2 couples and 2 young ones easily. The location is absolutely perfect, with quick access on a boardwalk to a nice beach, no car or jeep needed. Everything in the condo was as described. The 6 of us could eat together at the kitchen bar. The pool was a great alternative to the beach. We got lucky with a live band playing at the pool one evening. We would definitely go back. ##### Jeanne C.

Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard B., Austin, TX USA 15 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location in Port A! Not far from the restaurants and balcony looks over the dunes to the gulf! We always stay at Island Retreat because you can walk to the beach! This unit is great for two couples, but it is showing some minor wear. ##### Richard B. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Annette S. 15 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! We enjoy IR stays! This condo was perfect for 4 - beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, towels were plenty, balcony was nice. Bring trash bags though! We only had the original for a 4 night/5 day stay. Overall would book again! :) ##### Annette S. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Brandi C. 11 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great We loved this place. The only issues were that the TVs weren’t working. I also tried to contact someone several time shortly after booking about a late checkout request and never got a response. After checking in the front desk people approved a late checkout but I was told last minute on checkout day that I had to be out because the owners were checking in. Other than that, our stay was fabulous. I was very impressed how comfortable the beds were; I’m pretty pick when it comes to a good mattress but slept like a baby. ##### Brandi C. ### 4/10 Poor #### Kristine D. 20 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Agency double booked our room The resort double booked our room. They fixed it at the last minute, but none the less, we had to deal with scrambling around to have a place to stay. ##### Kristine D. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Al C. 28 Oct 2020 #### Fall Vacation Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Price was right. Stay was right. Lovely, comfortable condo. Location great. Laundry close by. Could walk to beach from condo. Enjoyed balcony also. Would like to plan for same time and condo next October. How soon can we do that? Front door could do with a fresh coat of paint. Other than that, perfect. ##### Al C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [voco Venice Mestre - The Quid by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Quid-Hotel-Venice-Mestre.h3918549.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Danang Hoi An Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoi-An-Hotels-Renaissance-Hoi-An-Resort-Spa.h17891194.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in South Woodford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Woodford-London-Hotels.0-n553248634834709091-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Brookmans Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brookmans-Park-Hotels.d3000394545.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Blue Ivy Hotel and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Larnaca-Hotels-The-Blue-Ivy-Hotel-And-Suites.h63812256.Hotel-Information) > > [Eleven Hotel Bangkok](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangkok-Hotels-Eleven-Hotel-Bangkok.h38891044.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Gaylord-Texan-Resort-Convention-Center.h985065.Hotel-Information) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in Wimbledon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wimbledon-London-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-n179539-0--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Waterway-Marriott-Hotel-Convention-Center.h907442.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Budoni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budoni-Hotels-Agrustos-Village.h10170644.Hotel-Information) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Dallas McKinney/Allen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Dallas-McKinneyAllen.h23474052.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Praha Five](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-Occidental-Praha-Five.h3605698.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Llandudno Junction](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Junction-Hotels.d553248634478817534.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cap Rocat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llucmajor-Hotels-Cap-Rocat.h3738213.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hilton-York.h520445.Hotel-Information) > > [Oktober Downtown Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Oktober-DownTown-Rooms.h4676499.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Snape](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Snape-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d3000009853-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Loja](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loja-Hotels.d5137.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Las Arenas Balneario Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valencia-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Arenas-Balneario-Resort.h1190502.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Olivos Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adeje-Hotels-Los-Olivos-Beach-Resort.h11898599.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Beef Island (EIS) to Simpson Bay (SXM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/eis/sxm/tortola-to-philipsburg) ### Cars > [Car hire in Kitchener](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Kitchener.d10579.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Ilkley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Ilkley.d4376.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Cala Bona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Cala-Bona.d6034397.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [God's Window](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gods-Window-Graskop.d6170090.Attraction) > > [Peace Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peace-Bridge-Londonderry.d6179540.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Huntington Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huntington-Beach.dx8165) > > [Visit Dingwall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dingwall.dx6053335)
