Perfect place to stay!

We highly enjoyed our stay! Super convenient spot. The back gate opens and close to pool. We had a battery operated golf cart and the golf cart parking was right outside our back gate making it super easy and convenient to charge our golf cart! The kitchen had everything we needed and very nice kitchen equipment. We would definitely book at no crabby attitudes again in the future!

Very nice condo

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we are very satisfied with our stay at this condo. Really everything you need. Enjoyed the second floor balconies, where you have a view of the water from behind another building. Beds are comfortable, nice large seating area and kitchen. Only drawback was, we accidentally left some clothes behind in the master bedroom. We called the next day, but they were never found. So not sure about the cleaning staff who must’ve kept our clothing. But we do recommend the unit itself, just don’t leave anything.

Vacation on the beach

We had a great time. The only downside is that we were not provided with shampoo or conditioner. Luckily I brought some already. Everything else was great!

Family Fun!

We stayed with family and friends. The townhouse was beautiful and we enjoyed weight room. In addition we had a lot of fun fishing and the slide in the pool. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! Amazing summer fun!

Good stay

We have been coming to Whitecap beach for the past 5 years but this was our first time staying at this property. It is clean and close to Whitecap Beach. The two sets of bunk beds are nice for those traveling with multiple children. The community pool and water slides were nice, and our kids had a great time. There’s a pickleball court and club house on site with a few games and tables but we didn’t use these. A couple things to note… 1. The walls are very thin, within the condo itself and between neighboring condos. Expect to hear a lot of what is going on around you. 2. Unlike every other property we have stayed at, no toiletries were provided except for a bar of hand soap in each bathroom. Not a big deal if you bring yours anyways. Just be prepared to pack some or swing by the store on the way in. 3. They provide one bath towel per guest. If you’re staying multiple days, be prepared to wash your towels multiple times (and bring your own laundry detergent because you are only provided with one pack…so only one load of laundry). 4. The pillows and mattress are super uncomfortable for our family and the family we traveled with. After the first night we woke up with neck and back pain. Realized the pillows are “super firm” and we are accustomed to soft pillows. Again, this is a person preference. 5. Tons of mosquitoes inside. Not sure why…doors were kept shut and windows were never opened. Overall we enjoyed our vacation but prefer to stay in other properties in the area.

Sea Fog Vacation 2025

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we were quite pleased with the accommodations. At first, it seemed a bit more compact than we expected (no way that it could fit 12 people because the bunk room was quite crowded with two double bunk beds) but for the four adults that we had, it fit our needs quite well!The entire condo was bright, clean and well-decorated with the exception of a huge square hassock that completely overtook the sofa area and left nowhere to place drinks and made it very awkward to reach the seating areas when others were already seated. The kitchen was quite well-stocked with basic necessities and a few unexpected extras. The upstairs deck is a wonderful plus. It is a very relaxing area and is quite enjoyable to take a book to sit and read. This area is shared between both upstairs bedrooms and It overlooks the pool and clubhouse as well as the channel on the other side. Pool is cleaned daily and the clubhouse is always open with an attendant. The grounds are meticulously cared for as well.The location is another plus, with a grocery stores, a dollar store, convenience stores, restaurants, a bakery, and etc nearby as well as being close to the beach and the channel. If you’re wanting a clean, well-located place to stay, this may be just right for you!
