"The property is one of the most cost effective places you will find for the beach house you want. Be aware that the walk you need to make to get to the beach doesn't seem that far when looking at the map, but it is soft sand and dunes that can make it a very difficult walk for those with mobility issues. Make sure you are in decent shape for the journey."

"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."
