GullWing Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! Beach towels included but fyi no beach chairs included. Can be rented on beach for $30/day for 2 chairs & umbrella. Screened private balcony. Separate washer & dryer. Well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable and clean unit. Trolley spot nearby. We got groceries delivered from Walmart. Lots of supplies, shampoos, detergent, dish soap, hand soap, etc. more can be requested at guest desk. Pool and hot tub clean. Many chairs and lounges, some with umbrellas. They will accept Amazon deliveries on guests’ behalf. Our second time staying here and will return again!"

Beautiful condo on the Beach with Heated Pool, Pickleball, free WiFi & parking!

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was very nicely decorated and clean. The host was very accommodating with our late check out. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and we slept well. There is a public bus that goes up and down the island, and a bus stop is just across the street which was convenient. There is also a nice farmers market across the street a few days a week. The pool does close at sunset, which felt a bit early to us but that’s understandable and is no fault of the host, just the condo rules. There are a couple of restaurants and a coffee shop right across the street, 7/11 is nearby as well. **Through no fault of the VRBO host or property just an FYI - a rental car would be good to have because it cost 15-50 each way when we wanted to Uber to surrounding areas. In addition, our DoorDash and Walmart deliveries both took 2 hours due to difficulty finding delivery drivers. Definitely would have been better off with a rental car, and getting our own groceries/food. Again, this is no fault of the host or property, just an FYI Overall we had a very nice time. The beach was beautiful."
