Great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Love the location, decor and amenities. With only a few minor inconveniences, we were able to get results immediately through maintenance and Brooks and Shorey. One unusual situation was the bedroom light coming on at various times night or day with no one having been near any switches. We were able to just switch them off so did not report it.

Needs a Facelift

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is great. We love the Island Princess. This condo, however, needs some serious work. It REEKS of stale cigarette smoke, which we highlighted to the manager and were told it was "coming through the vents of other condos". Nonsense. The vents aren't all connected and no other condo we've been in has smelled like this. Good chance it's the original carpet or dust coated curtains that are holding the nasty smell.The upholstered furniture and mattresses also need to be replaced. The mattress dips heavily in the middle and is smashed on the sides, and the couches have no support. Unless you're in your early 20s, be prepared to wake up very sore.If they would fix these things, we'd stay again. But not a chance we would stay here again until these things are addressed.

Great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We loved this condo. The parking is designated (for 1 car) but easily found parking for the 2nd car. The pool & hot tub was great & beach access was easy. We did have to walk around the corner to access the public handicap ramp, but it wasn't a bad walk. (We did not anticipate the need for wheelchair access when we booked 6 mo earlier). The rooms and bathrooms were great. The pullout bed was not comfortable to me (the teenage liked it), but they did replace the mattress while we were there (guess I’m getting too old for a pullout bed). We would definitely stay here again!

Great condo space. Beautiful ocean view.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental was great for us. We had several staying and everyone fit comfortable. The pool was cleaned every morning. There was plenty of chairs on the balcony for everyone to use. I will say there was some kind of electrical issue. The master bedroom light would come on randomly. One night it did it during the middle of the 3 times so we end up taking the bulbs out so we could sleep. I reported this at check out. The beach chairs & umbrella was set up every morning, no issues getting one. The sliding to the balcony was very hard to open and shut. One side was so hard we just didn't use it. I reported this at check out too. If you plan to do a big meal, bring pans. There is only 2 frying pans that are medium size. We would stay here again. The location was great and close to everything. Heads up to anyone traveling in without a car, it cost us $60 to get ride from the airport to the condo.

It’s a very nice condo. Only criticism is the two guest room showers drained very slow. I would also suggest on upgrading of the mattresses. But all in all a great and comfortable condo.

My stay at the Island Princess for my daughter's wedding

Condo number 409 was absolutely amazing. The decorations were beautiful and Tastefully done. Absolutely love the view and there was plenty to do in the area. There are other guests in other condos here for the wedding and the coordination of the chairs on the beach in a group for all of us was very thoughtful. We had a great time and definitely would consider coming back. Thank you so much for all you did to make our stay beautiful and memorable.

Dirty, dirty, dirty

The location of this property was probably one of the only positive aspects of this rental. We had a 10 month old baby with us, and the first day, his feet were black after crawling on the floor. We re-cleaned the floors after check in, and they were awful. We also had issues with bugs being inside the until. We saw small cockroaches and other bugs that lead to us not being able to keep any food on the counters. The pantry door completely fell off at one point, and the tv in the living room did not work. The beds were awful. The first night we put our baby in the bathtub, we cleaned it first, and again wiped up dirt and grime. The shared things (pool, pool deck, walk over, and beach chairs) were all nice amenities. I’d suggest finding another space though.

Do not recommend

My cousins watched our child in the room while we unloaded the car. During that 20 minutes, my child’s feet and knees were black from crawling around the living room floor area and we had to mop. Roaches were a huge problem in this unit. I called the rental company (Brooks&Shorey) and they said they would send someone to spray. No one ever came so I called again the next day and was told they were waiting on HOA approval. New TV cables were installed the week of our stay therefore a team of four men were crowding our unit but thankfully they saw the roaches and called for a maintenance man to come spray. While that was wonderful, it was also a huge inconvenience to keep a nearly 1 year old and 3 year old off of the floors due to the chemicals. The dryer in this unit also squeaks incredibly loud therefore we did laundry during the day so the noise wouldn’t keep the kids, us, or neighbors up. There were also hairs found in the showers upon arrival. We were all highly disappointed in the cleanliness of the unit especially for the price we paid and extra cleaning measures were supposed to be in place due to rising covid numbers. Will not recommend to anyone or stay again.
