Bold villa with grill, outdoor shower & deck - by beach and Camp St. Christopher

The villa is nice, but it is farther to get to the beach than I anticipated. Also, the walk to the resort is about 8-9 minutes. The villa comes with free resort access, which is nice, but you have to jump through some hoops to get the amenity card—a digital QR code that physically lets you into the pools, cafes, etc. That has to be done directly with the resort, I discovered. The kitchen is weirdly full of every piece of glassware and plate sets imaginable, but there are none of the kitchen basics like salt or oil. No coffee, either, which is disclosed in the description. There are also a lot of bright exterior lights, including a motion detector light that seemed to randomly and frequently go on and off. Might not bother some people, but I had a hard time sleeping.

Beautiful condo, in a quiet neighborhood. The private beach was five minutes away and my family felt like the beach was ours. Check in and out was so easy. Just about 10 minutes away was a great shopping center with restaurants and a Harris Teeter. My family was so happy, they asked if I was gonna run the same race next year so we could come back for a beach weekend.

My wife and I enjoyed our 5 nights here! The villa is on a quiet street and. We didn't hear noise from the road or from other residents/guests (and I HATE hearing other people). Short, 5-minute walk to beach access. The kitchen is well-equipped and wonderful! The decor is updated and fresh. We felt right at home! The workout options in the clubhouse are GREAT! Probably a dozen different cardio machine options, plus machines and a free weight room with all the things. The master/king bed is upstairs, so the mid-day heat finds its way up there. There's a note near the thermostat that says not to turn it down below 70. If you're hot-natured and plan to take naps, you might need to bring a fan. Also, the WONDERFUL workstation is a few steps away from the king bed. If you need to send a few emails in the afternoon, no problem. If you need to triage a SEV1 issue at 2 AM, your roommate might kill you. If we're ever in Charleston again, we'll definitely try to stay here again!
