"Great house. AC is great also. My only complaint is there is no direct beach access. You can walk between other houses out to the beach, no sidewalk. And the beach is almost like a saltwater lake. Days 2 and 3 we booked a spot and drove to Henderson State Park Beach, which is type of beach we wanted."

"The condo on Holiday Isle was in the perfect location, we enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking out towards the harbor. We also enjoyed the short walk to the beach and boardwalk. However, the condo could use some TLC. The kitchen had NO drinking glasses, only plastic one, but approximately 15 wine glasses. The kitchen was sparsely stocked for cooking and preparing meals.The carpet entering the guest bedroom was ripped and torn, the rug in the living area was worn and dirty. The toilet in the guest bathroom looked like a toddlers toilet, I have never seen anything like it and last but not least there was a disgustingly dirty and torn doormat at the balcony entrance from the living area. I gave 4 stars for this condo primarily because of the great location and price. It has great potential, just need some TLC."
