Beach Getaway
We had a great stay at Shipwatch. Very clean and spacious condo with comfortable beds. We had no issues. You may want to bring a beach cart because it isn't a super short trek to the beach and it was rather muddy after a storm. We were very grateful for the elevator!

The property is very small and while it is possible to sleep six people it is very tight. Parking underneath the building is extremely difficult and is usually the only place to park. If you have a full size truck or Suburban don’t try. The internet was HORRIBLE! The Televisions usually didn’t work and I was unable to get a consistent connection with my PC. The property manager was not accessible when needed. On the positive the pool and beach are close and very nice, but the unit is lacking. My family and I left a day early.

Loved the location
Loved the condo and the location! Unfortunately, there was construction going on that we were unaware of when booking this location. This made it difficult to sleep in, sit on the porch and leave the condo at times because our doorway was blocked by construction. On a positive note my family and I still had a great vacation. We enjoyed the beach and pool.

Nice short stay. Very quiet property.
This was our first time in SSI. This condo was wonderful. Beautifully decorated and a great location to everything. This weekend trip was perfect. The owners were very responsive when we ran into a small snag getting in. I will warn you the cleaning company was early so make sure you are out of the door 5 minutes before check in. They were a bit irritated that we were not out already at 9:55. Overall we would stay here again. Thank you for a great trip. We are already looking forward to the next!

Great location and building has an elevator and luggage carts. Because of the Bomb Cyclone of 2022 didn't have the chance to use the pool, but did look inviting. Unit was well equipped with kitchen items and linens. It would have been helpful to have a luggage rack in the guest room and maybe a chair in the master instead of the desk. I would recommend staying there.
