Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Our unit was quite dated and the bathroom was in pretty poor condition. It was usable but it has suffered a lot of wear and tear. The staff was helpful and we loved the easy walk to driftwood beach and the pool area was very nice.

We stayed at the Villas by the Sea last year and saw so many updates this trip. The boardwalks, adirondack chairs, lighting updates, the new restaurant, "Jekyll & Tide", etc., really added to this lovely, comfortable and friendly place to stay. On our way home, we talked about coming back next year!

Great place to stay, very quiet. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Disappointment that we had to go so far to get to the actual beach. Hope they rebuild the access soon. The condition of the electric and plumbing could use an update. Everything works but is old. Would stay here again.

The Villa we rented through Expedia was peaceful and roomy enough for two people. These are individually owned villas/condos and so each one will be decorated differently and this one needed a new paint job but it had everything we needed for our two night stay. It was also within walking distance to the beach and the staff were outstanding and friendly and kind.
