Beautiful condo/Perfect location/Accommodating owners
Submitted: January 17, 2013
Stayed: January 2013
We rented two units at Loggerhead Bay for a family reunion, and this one was both less expensive AND considerably nicer. On the subject of cost, this unit also comes with two adult bikes, which effectively saved us over $70 during our stay (although we rented 5 other bikes at Billy's---very satifisfied with quality).
These owners pay attention to details. Here are some examples: plantation shutters instead of blinds or curtains, Tervis cups instead of less expensive ones, stocking several rolls of toilet paper/paper towels/dishwashing and laundry detergent instead of supplying one and making you buy after consumption, beautiful furniture, sparkling white woodwork in bathrooms, kitchen, on 6-panel doors and baseboards, etc., nice carpet in living room and BRs (other unit had tile throughout---not as nice for big group get togethers). And I was blown away by the little details---lotion with Aloe in both bathrooms (anticipating my sunburn?), sample sized shampoos and conditioners, supply of coffee filters and sandwich bags in the fully stocked kitchen, microwave popcorn and vegetable oil (didn't use, but still amazed it was all there).
The contractual details for renting were well executed at the start and end of the rental time, and the owner called twice, and emailed once, during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. But we didn't need a thing---again, perfection. She even offered, unsolicited, an hour's extension on check out because her housekeepers weren't arriving until after that anyway. So just very, very kind and accommodating.
About Loggerhead Cay. The location is beautiful, it is located right off of one of the 20 miles of smooth and flat bike paths, and the beaches are pristine. This unit is literally 20 feet to the boardwalk that takes you to the beach (albeit on 4th floor). The elevator worked fine, but we usually walked the 4 flights without difficulty (view from 4th makes walk worth it)! The unit is very close to the elevator, and there is assigned parking. The complex is very well maintained; they were doing cyclical parking lot brickwork when we were there. The pool is unbelievably beautiful, big, well-heated and very clean--perfect for our family of lap swimmers. This unit overlooks the pool, although it is far enough away in center of greenspace that you can't hear the pool chatter.
Not unit related, but our two best meals on the island (both pricey) were (hands down) at Sweet Melissa's Cafe and Il Tesora.
