we had a wonderful stay! the goal of our trip was to have a quick and convenient getaway in the sun with our two kids (5 and 4 years old), which is not always an easy feat, but this place as our home base helped our trip run smoothly! when we arrived, the place had basic soaps and shampoos and towels which was wonderful since we only packed carry on bags for our flight and wanted to keep packing to a minimum. There were also beach chairs, a beach blanket, sunscreen, and umbrella provided-- everything that we needed for two wonderful beach days! the location is great for a short drive to several beaches. we went to turtle beach and lido beach; both were great! We ate at restaurants in nearby St. Armands Circle, complete with a stop for ice cream everyday! Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts are both nearby, which helped start our days off right; a nearby Trader Joes was helpful for a few snacks/low key dinner when my kids were too tired for another restaurant after a long fun day. we had a great stay, the place was comfortable and met our needs.
