Peaceful Retreat

Property was just as described. Had all the amenities listed and more. The condo was very clean and ready for us when we got there. The beach was a quick walk down the block and St. Armand’s square was a bit farther that we thought but still walkable. We drove part way and had no problems parking and walking the rest of the way. Sue was very responsive to us and had no problems adding a few days to the front of our trip. We would have liked to book for next season too, but was booked already for the dates we were interested in. Goes to show how appealing this property is!

Best vacation spot yet.

Sue worked very hard on restoring this property after the hurricanes. It was beautiful on the inside. It was very spacous with all new furnishings. The location is within walking distance to the beach, food, drinks, and shopping. The only downside was having to leave. We cannot recommend this place enough.
