Roomy enough for everyone and still provided a home like atmosphere. This was a clean rental and everything we needed was available. The view was amazing and just a short trip to the beach. I also enjoyed the free rounds of golf that were provided at some good courses. I would stay again. ##### Mike C.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a very nice condo with a great view. These ratings reflect the cleanliness. Some of the items in the kitchen had to be rewashed and the floor had a greasy and gritty feel. It was nice to have an elevator at the room but when it breaks down that is not good. The squeaking noise it makes is bad for the ones sleeping in the front bedroom. Need to maintain the elevators which is really on the Island Princess not B & S. Overall enjoyed our stay. The guys that take care of your beach chairs are Great and the pool is very nice. ##### Greg J. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [YHA Malham - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-YHA-Malham-Hostel.h11535933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ross-on-Wye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ross-On-Wye-Hotels.d5672.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [COCO-MAT Athens Jumelle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-COCO-MAT-Athens-Jumelle.h31066648.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near National Bowl](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Bowl-Hotels.0-l6260989-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Oceans Edge Key West Resort, Hotel & Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Oceans-Edge-Key-West-Resort.h16202992.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Florida Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Ocean-Florida-Villas.h8377171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Lourdas Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdas-Beach-Hotels.0-l6105740-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Casa Bonay & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Casa-Bonay.h14898789.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wareham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wareham-Hotels.d182682.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Hove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hove-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d4662--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [GreeneKing Hotels in Norwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Greene-King.0-0-d2620--bGreeneKing.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Brazil](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Brazil-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d23-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Lido Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Lido-Beach-Resort.h34597.Hotel-Information) > > [Copal Tulum Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tulum-Hotels-Copal-Tulum-Hotel.h44035250.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Madrid Ribera del Manzanares](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-NH-Madrid-Ribera-Del-Manzanares.h4101730.Hotel-Information) > > [Champions Gate Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Champions-Gate-Resort.h14593168.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Omni-Orlando-Resort-At-ChampionsGate.h1029950.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in St. Kitts and Nevis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-St-Kitts-And-Nevis-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d130-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [flights from humberside airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/huy/flights-from-humberside-airport) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Batumi (BUS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/bus/london-to-batumi-intl-airport) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Oslo (OSL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/osl/london-to-oslo) ### Cars > [Car hire in Thiruvananthapuram](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Trivandrum-Intl.d6032583.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Poole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Poole.d5659-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Albuquerque Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albuquerque.d602663.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Italy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Italy.dx86)
