We came here on a whim for spring break and it was wonderful. The rooms can look dated, but they…read moreare comfortable, clean and well stocked. I love that these condos are at the end of the street, so there is not much traffic; you can truly enjoy the scenery. The location is beautiful, the pools were clean, and you cannot beat that white sand beach! We enjoyed it so much that we went back for the 4th of July and were not disappointed! I plan to make this an annual family vacation for our family and so so happy we found this little gem.

We had a very disappointing experience at this property due to multiple issues throughout our stay…read more Upon arrival, our original unit had no water, which is a basic necessity and significantly disrupted the start of our trip. We were moved to a substitute unit, but that unit had its own problems, including a smoke detector without batteries that was actively beeping (a safety concern), a large stain on the bed, and clothing left behind hanging on the bathroom door. Once the water issue was resolved, we returned to our original unit, only to find that the oven was not working. There was also no toaster provided until we specifically requested one. In addition, there was active construction happening during our stay, which we were not informed about in advance. We were told an attempt had been made to contact us, but we did not receive any call or voicemail. While a partial refund was issued, it did not even amount to the cost of one night's stay and did not reflect the number or severity of the issues encountered. We were also told that the cost of repairing the water heater was a factor in the compensation offered, which does not seem appropriate, as maintaining functional appliances is the responsibility of the property owner. Overall, the combination of utility outages, safety concerns, cleanliness issues, missing or non-functioning amenities, and lack of communication made this a frustrating experience. We would recommend confirming the condition of the unit and any ongoing work before booking.

Our recent stay in a condo managed by Brooks & Shorey was disappointing. The unit itself was…read moredecent, but several issues made the stay stressful. Maintenance and pest control entered the condo during our stay without any prior notice. Our door was painted twice, and pest control came in to spray -- none of which we were told about ahead of time. We also spoke with three other families in the building who were frustrated by similar unannounced visits, though they had rented through other agencies. When we called Brooks & Shorey to ask if more workers would be entering, we were told it was "up to the HOA" and they didn't offer to follow up or check for us. The guest bathroom needs attention -- the toilet is in poor condition, the fan was hanging down, and there was no hot water in either the guest bathroom sink or the kitchen. We also noticed trash on the floor when we arrived, so the cleaning could have been much better. To top it off, we got stuck in the elevator with two other guests, and later noticed the elevator permit had expired in August 2025. Overall, the location was fine and the condo itself was okay, but communication and maintenance coordination were severely lacking.

Brooks and Shorey Resorts always goes above and beyond to make your vacation amazing. I have booked…read morewith them multiple times and have yet to be disappointed. The rooms are clean, spacious, and a great spot to bring my group of girlfriends for our annual trip. My favorite part of booking with this company was the free activity passes and beach service.. I have never been somewhere where these things are free. Totally impressed. The touchstay link we were given made the stay so easy and convenient, i never had to use google once. Everything was there within one click, totally stress free. Not to mention.. I really love the fact you can connect with other guests on their social media platform to make friends and meet other guests. My family and I had a great time with this company and keep coming back.

The unit was listed as dog-friendly so I booked it (on Airbnb) and let them know I was bringing my…read moreservice dog. Southern Vacation Rentals then asked me for additional documentation and id for my service dog, and subsequently refused to accommodate her (which I have in writing and called twice to dispute). Southern Vacation Rentals then lied and said they did not refuse to accommodate her. From Airbnb, "Based on the evidence provided, we have determined that the reported issue was in violation of Airbnb's Nondiscrimination Policy. We have reached out to Southern Vacation and informed them of the violation. Their listing, "Dog Friendly + Easy Access to the Sand & Pool!" has been temporarily suspended. If Southern Vacation wishes to have their listing reinstated and remain on the Airbnb platform, they are now required to reaffirm their commitment to our Nondiscrimination Policy." Southern Vacation Rentals are scam artists and I'll never book or stay at one of their units again.

You can't see the beach There are construction workers everywhere. Access to the beach is almost impossible. They should never rent this out! We have called and tried to get different accommodations. They have offered a small discount. We can not talked to a local person yet.

Service Review - Vacasa (Island Princess Unit 402)…read more Our stay at Island Princess Unit 402 was largely positive in terms of the condo itself, cleanliness, and location. However, our overall experience was significantly impacted by ongoing construction noise that was not properly disclosed or handled. Vacasa did not disclose ongoing construction at the time of reservation, which is critical information for guests planning a vacation. The first written notice about construction was sent on the morning of January 20--after our stay had already begun. More importantly, after receiving that notice, we spoke directly with a Vacasa agent by phone on January 20 at approximately 11:15 a.m., who assured us that the construction was not taking place in the part of the building where our unit was located. That information turned out to be inaccurate. In reality, construction was occurring directly on the parking ramp below our unit, producing loud, persistent noise for the entire day, every day, during the final five days of our stay. This substantially disrupted what was meant to be a relaxing vacation. We have video evidence documenting the noise both inside and outside the unit. While Vacasa later stated that there were no internal notes documenting our phone conversation, the lack of internal documentation should not negate the guest's experience--especially when the impact was so obvious and prolonged. We believe Vacasa has a responsibility to: * Disclose known construction issues before booking * Provide accurate information when guests inquire * Take accountability when misinformation materially affects a guest's stay This situation was disappointing and avoidable. Future guests should be clearly informed so they can make an educated decision before booking. We hope Vacasa will improve transparency and communication to prevent similar experiences for others.

I would probably stay here during off season because it is quieter on this end. We stayed in unit 613 which was a 2 bedroom with a curved 65 inch tv in the living room.
