My wife and I were extremely pleased with the ocean view, comfortable bed, large bathroom, and layout of the rental. We enjoyed its close proximity to the beach, and found numerous amenities to like. For example, we didn't have to buy paper towels, dish soap, or other small items, because all were provided. Everything was clean throughout the entire property. There was adequate parking. No one bothered us. It was quiet except for one hour when an adjacent property owner had weed whackers running. The warm pool and gas grill downstairs are nice. There are numerous restaurants nearby, ranging from Lin's Garden (excellent small Chinese buffet) to the Smokin' Oyster Bar (great grouper sandwiches). The beach is uncrowded and perfect for long walks and shelling. We watched sunsets and enjoyed meals from our balcony. Beach chairs and towels were provided. Overall, it was great! If I were to gripe at all, it would be because the pool closes too early, the elevator is slow enough to be annoying, and the safe in our unit was not operational. Both TVs could have been larger. But compared to all other rentals in our experience, this is by far our #1 favorite. We will not hesitate to return again. In fact, it would be a disappointment if we could not stay at Cornerstone on a return trip. Our unanimous rating is 5 stars for happy memories, relaxing days, clean comfortable quarters, and friendly staff. This is an ideal getaway for couples who want to lose track of time at the beach, and spend lazy romantic days together. We are already planning a return trip.
Owner's Response: I am so glad you discovered Cornerstone and all it has to offer. Guests tell me the pictures don't do it justice but you have described it perfectly. Thank you. We can't wait till you come back for another adventure on our island. I will make sure to add Lin's Garden to my restaurant recommendation list. The pool will always close at dusk (insurance regulations) the elevator will still seem slow (when you are anxious to get down to the beach), the 32 inch plasma TV will still look small (compared to the full wall of sliding glass doors with fantastic views of the gulf and beach) but I have already made arrangements with the office and the in room safe is fixed!
I am so glad you enjoyed Cornerstone. See you again soon! Lori
