It was okay, not horrible, not great. Over all it was fine. For what we paid I would have expected better quality furnishings. The building was old, bathroom super small. Found one palmetto bug & one cockroach in our room over our stay. No housekeeping unless you request it.

The condo was exceptionally clean. The area is quiet and off the beaten path. The walk to the beach is short. Getting to the water is quite awful!! The stairs and railing leave a good drop off and getting back up was very difficult. If you have littles this would not be a place you would like to stay. For the elderly it would be extremely difficult to impossible. If my husband wasn't close enough to catch me I would have fallen backwards and been severely hurt. We enjoyed our stay but the beach experience was very disappointing .

Very well managed place. We got room 301 which was away from the other rooms from the building. Spacious and very clean. It accommodated our needs and it was right by the pool and driftwood beach. Quiet and it had all the things we needed in the room. Definitely come here again.

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!
