Rented beach front but you could not see the beach or water. View was completely obstructed. The unit was nice, clean and well maintained.

The staff was very helpful and friendly
The room was very nice
Reserved 1 bed, 1 bath but got 2 bed with extra half bath. We have stayed at the Villas by the Sea several times in different rooms. As always, the complex is beautiful and well maintained and staff is friendly. The condo itself was nicely decorated and you could see the ocean from the upper balcony and master.

The condo was very nice, check in went smoothly and staff was friendly. Pool area looked nice, whole complex looked nice. Cons: 1-don't pay thru Expedia, it was a mess and total invoice shown in Expedia was almost twice what condo company actually charged. 2-condo bathroom was on second floor 3-pictures don't show large rock retaining wall along beach. We could see ocean, but to access small beach, you have to use one of the access points. Beach was disappointing and that's really what we went for. We drove to other beaches not far away.

Room was exactly as advertised. It was nice, clean and modern. The restaurant was a real surprise. We were in town for the shrimp & grits festival but the best S&G we had was at the hotels restaurant.
