Nice stay

We had a nice stay. We liked how close it was to the beach. You do have a very small view of the ocean. This unit is right by the main road so the noise is the only downside. The outdoor shower didn’t work but otherwise everything was as listed.

July 12-19 Stay

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: We were very satisfied with our recent stay at Lighthouse View. We were traveling from out-of-state, & arrived earlier than check-in time. We took a gamble & called to see if our unit was ready early, & it was! We absolutely loved our stay here...the location was great, steps away from the beach, & close to restaurants. Had to call the front desk one late afternoon bc my husband accidentally dropped his wedding ring beneath the wooden planks of the outdoor shower. They had someone come the next morning to retrieve it for him! Overall, it was a great week...would highly recommend!

The vacation that didn’t happen!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately we did not get to have our vacation due to hurricane Isaias. We were scheduled to arrive Sunday August. 2nd . Hatters Island was closed to all visitors From Sunday until the afternoon Aug.4 which would have been our last night there. Due to their advice to wait until 2 weeks before the trip( I was hoping to get a Jr. suite) I was not able to get insurance for our trip. Since the island was shut off to visitors I assumed we could use our trip price to reschedule. Lighthouse View kept the full amount of our scheduled trip. They charge you the full amount the day you book your reservation. So we lost all of deposit $1000. I sent an email asking to reschedule never heard a word back, just their charge on my credit card for the full reservation, we were very disappointed with this location. IT was suppose to be a trip with our grandson that we were not able to take due to a hurricane and the island being closed. We are very unhappy with everything because we didn’t get to stay there and they kept all our money . They didn’t offer to reschedule us either.Therefore I can’t comment on property condition, location or cleanliness due to the fact we couldn’t go.

Great Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was clean and great location to the beach. Our house backed up to the road so that got a little noisey at night but wasn't terrible. The house had mostly everything you needed, the only thing we wish we had was a baking sheet but there were other alternatives to use. Overall, great stay.

Nicely furnished and maintained villa

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the 2 bedroom villa. Convenient beach access a short walk away. You get some water views which is nice but I would recommend the villa closest to the beach.

Great family escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great time. Short walk to the beach. Short walk to pool and hot tub which the kids loved. Short walk to fish cleaning station. Basic accommodations but clean and functional which is exactly what we wanted. Unique view! Not ocean front but you can see the ocean in the distance and the bay from the same window! You can also see the lighthouse if you stretch a little. Only minor issues were that it was a little close to the road and road noise and didn't have an in house washer and dryer.
