Disappointed

The place was comfortable but there were underlying problems indicative of neglect. The washing machine broke and the dryer was so loud it was deadening. The repair person said they were old (2012) and not repairable. We were there 18 days so this was not good. Tidewatch helped us out. This has not been our experience renting condos here over the past few years.

Beautiful getaway

A lovely place to relax and enjoy nature. The view from the condo is beautiful and restful. The beach is more of a walking than swimming place but that was okay. The only issue we had was the tv sets were older and didn’t allow for streaming, which is not apparent in the description of property. The property folks went above and beyond trying to address this, to no avail. Great stay otherwise.

Great Stay But No Internet

It was perfect. The only problem was we didn't have internet wifi. Maintenance was in and out several times but they couldn't resolve the password issue. Most of us didn't actually need wifi but one person was trying to use wifi instead of data. We just gave them a Hot Spot and it was fine. However, I'm sure that some guests rely on wifi to find local attractions, reservations, etc. Property and accommodations were great.

Amazing!

The condo decor & theme was excellent. It is very modern & has top of the line appliances. The ocean views from the back deck or from the upstairs picture window were gorgeous. The walkway to the beach is close by & we were able to explore up & down the beach. Because it is located in a sound there is a drastic difference at high & low tide which makes for further fun exploration.

Early Summer Vacation

Excellent views, but lots of steps. The beach access was great too! We had wonderful weather. some days were cooler outside than inside the condo and there is a restriction on opening the windows. It would be nice if the owners would consider changing that policy and getting screens for the unit. Otherwise, this is a great place to stay!

Mother/Daughter trip

Photos never do a great place justice, and the online photos of this condo are no exception. As my 71 year old (retired English teacher) mom said, "This is a very commodious condo!" In our opinion, the photo of the walkway to the beach looked much longer than it seemed in real life. It gave us pause at booking, but is actually a short and bio-diverse walk that any nature lover would want to take their time with. The surf is calm here, due to the coastline, and conch shells were bountiful at low-tide. They are all (ALL!) beautiful but...inhabited by hermit crabs - pinky to palm sized! So amazing, but don't take these home with you! I also saw 2 live starfish doing thier squiggly moves toward the sea, dolphins, turtles, pelicans, herons, and so many other birds I'd never seen. The plant life was impressive for Septmeber! We decided to try this beach (we live in Asheville, NC) for our mother/daughter trip this year because it is a bit closer and seemed more isolated than what we typically choose. It did not disappoint us! Be prepared to drive 20-30 mins for gas, shopping and dining, but this is a nature/history lover's paradise - with Hunting State Park right nexdoor! I can't wait to come back, when I can spend a whole week or more to settle in and explore the area.

Super relaxing week away.

Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ian delayed the start of our stay by a day, but Tide Watch management did a great job of dealing with it. Quickly refunded the charge for that first day. Condo was super clean, nicely decorated, beautiful water view! Absolutely no problems.

Beautiful

Very clean, everything a person could need. I wish I had understood that this was a second floor unit, with the bedrooms being up a steep flight of stairs. This was hard on my 94 year old mom. Nothing in the description mentions stairs, although it is my responsibility to ask! I will ask next time. Otherwise the place was perfect... lovely setting with a gorgeous view of the ocean.

May 2021 get away

We selected this property (K-208) for an early May change of scenery after months of being stuck at home due to pandemic and recovering from an operation. Property is quite nice and fit the two of us well. Nicely maintained and in great shape. Called in and we got quick response to a couple of minor issues that developed during the stay. One disappointment was the beach/ocean. There were no waves on to the sandy beach during higher tide. During low tide the ocean water was 200-300 yards away from the sand near the end of walkways from condos. Walking along the beach was great. The drive to restaurants and historical sites in Beaufort is 15-20 miles one way, but very pleasant. Beaufort was an enjoyable visit.

Bright Modern Aesthetic

Breathtaking views of ocean and dunes from front windows and deck. Clean modern decor and a well outfitted kitchen made me feel like queen of the beach house! Beautiful, natural areas all around the beach made for good wildlife viewing. Johnson Creek Tavern and Foolish Frog restaurants are close by and highly recommended!

Clean and Comfortable

My wife and I were wanting a little getaway from home to celebrate a combination of a birthday and Valentine's Day. We looked at VRBO options up and down the NC/SC coast. My wife found this lovely condo near Beaufort, SC. The home had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We did, unfortunately, choose a weekend which was relentlessly cold and rainy, but the condo was a lovely place to just relax, prepare nice meals in a well appointed kitchen and watch a little TV with a majestic view of the ocean and dunes with just a turn of the head. As owners of a VRBO on the NC coast, that happened to be rented during this time, we know the level of care and preparation that goes into making a vacation home perfect for guests. The owners of this home have done a great job making sure their home is a welcoming, clean and comfortable place to relax and enjoy. We would recommend this offering without hesitation to anyone. We can't wait to come back and enjoy the warm weather and sunshine at some point in the future. Tim and Angie

This place was perfect for our family of 4. It’s not big, but the space is really nice and efficient, the kitchen had everything we needed and the views and very short walk to the beach were perfect.
