About this property

Oceanfront+Pet-friendly+1st floor+Near North End Pier & Freeman Park

New for 2022: New coffee table, end tables, and nightstands. For 2021: New queen mattress and box spring, washer and dryer, and paint throughout.

Weekend getaway

We checked in on a Friday afternoon with no problem at all! The place was clean and quaint! We came with our dog and we could tell right away it was a dog friendly neighborhood which we were happy about! The bed was comfy and the living room was cozy as well with the balcony right off it. The kitchen was fully stocked and then some which was so convenient! Tim’s recommendations were spot on and made for a great trip for us even though it was short! Would definitely stay here if we visit again!

My family and I decided to get out of town together for Thanksgiving. The unit was very close quarters, which was not the way it was advertised. Previous people had stated kitchen was small but honestly overall the entire condo was very tight. Also stated in the reservation was a checklist of things to get done before departure, and the cleaning staff does a supposed great job and were the deciding factor on any extra fees that you would be charged. What we found just in kithen cabinets and the dishes, or cookware was dirty. In the back bedroom the box fan that was provided was so dusty it stirred up a small dust cloud.Before getting there the property manager was very responsive and fast with answers. Once we arrived I had messaged about the beach access because there were signs and a chain across the access point, he responded back the day we departed. The one thing we all liked about the place was the oceanfront balcony which was a great size to accommodate a family unlike the unit inside. The oceanfront part should have stated that it was limited because view was mostly blocked by sand dunes. Not to mention the floor had 2 very noticable sunk in soft spots, with several water spots in the ceiling. I love the beach and would not complain but i felt all these issues should be addressed. My suggestion would be fix the places in floor and ceiling, and follow up with your cleaning staff. Until anin.thesyodreaclees.

Beautiful Codo!

We absolutely loved the location. The place was very clean. The beds were comfortable and it was well decorated. The only recommendation I have is I would update the listing to state what type of coffee maker there is so people know what to buy in advance. We weren’t sure if we should bring pods or regular ground coffee.

Great getaway!

The property was so nice! Everything was just as it looked online. Condo was so clean and neat. The only downfall was the entrance to the beach was a 8 ft drop off because of beach erosion. We will stay again!

This is our second time staying here. Tim is great to deal with and the condo is perfect for our little family. We like to stay towards Freeman Park which makes this location ideal. The only complaint is we had to leave.

Great location!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The location and beach access made the trip! The condo had enough space for our family. The only negatives things were the noisy tenants above us and not being able to adjust the thermostat. Using the kitchen a lot made it even hotter in the house. The porch could use some updates but the condo itself was nicely done. The mattresses were fantastic!

Four Winds Condo

We were ocean front with a beautiful view. The condo was clean and neat with a lot of care taken to the upgrades. However, the floors sloped in places and had some soft spots. The kitchen is extremely small. Also, the owner requested not to turn the air conditioning down any lower than 72° and it was a bit warm making sleeping uncomfortable. I think some work on the compressor is needed.

A wonderful place to stay on the beach...

If you are looking for a clean, spacious condo as close to the ocean that will accept dogs, this is the condo for you. We sat on the balcony to look at the ocean versus the beach just because it was that close. The condo was very comfortable without being so luxurious that you were afraid to sit on the furniture. The owner, Tim Byrd, was very responsive to any question I had, both before arriving and once we were there. It was fairly centrally located to most of the attractions, grocery stores, restaurants, and there was a dog park within 2 miles. The only possible downside was that all of the railings, on the street side of the 16 unit condo building were being replaced. This meant that there were construction workers there almost everyday. They were courteous but their coming and going in the parking lot caused our dogs to bark. Other dogs were also barking and ours did quiet down when told to. This is required for the safety of the building, but there was some hammering, etc. I would highly recommend this condo. Kerry

On the beach!

A short three day getaway to the ocean that checked all the boxes: on the beach, dog friendly, great view! Owner Tim was very responsive and helpful. The condo was clean, had a comfortable bed, a well appointed kitchen, balcony looking out at the beach and was convenient to all the amenities Pleasure Island affords!
