Reviewer Comments:
My sister and I love this location(Island Winds East). But there are things the owner needs to do to keep people coming back.The mattress in the master bedroom needs to be replaced as does the couch. The place needs a really good deep cleaning( blinds, ceiling fans, walls are dusty, floors are marginally clean.) There is bare wiring in the utility closet(this has got to be a fire hazard) Is there a way to vent the dryer other than into the condo itself? We were happy that the washer and dryer and stove hood had been replaced since last year.

We stayed at this unit for the Shrimp Festival. The location was perfect! The views were awesome! Only a few comments on things that could have gone better. No linens for the couch/bed until I contacted SP twice, the batteries didn't work right in the remote control for the TV(we had to buy batteries) and the toilets were way too low to the ground for folks with knee issues - updated toilets (standard height toilets would have made a great difference). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

It was a great location! The veiw was absolutely breathtaking inside and out side the room! The rental was clean, only minor issues like light bulbs. The communication with Sunset was amazing, when I called they were extremely nice to work with. We had an amazing time, definitely would stay I'm this room/condo again!!

I have stayed at these condos since I was 8 years and this year will be my last year. In all my years staying there I have NEVER been charged an additional amount of money after I already paid for my stay (almost a month before the dates) for a parking pass. It has ALWAYS been including in my total I pay before arriving. The front desk lady was absolutely the rudest customer service person I have ever met. She told multiple people while I was in line if they didn't like it they could stay somewhere else. Our room had dirt dishes, pictures knocked off the walls and gnats flying all in the kitchen. I have stayed in many rooms in Island Winds over the years and this one was by far the worst one.

Location is great - walking distance to The Hangout and the “main strip” right by public access beach and parking. We were only allowed ONE parking spot so we had to park our other family members car in a free public parking a few blocks away - we called to ask for an additional spot and I think there was some misunderstanding- because we didn’t get the spot. It’s fine, just annoying. Our unit was just like the video posted. I will say, they have the glass tables for eating, but also as a coffee table so as a mother with a 1yr old - I was nervous of the glass tables. Also - the washing machine didn’t work properly - I messaged the management, they said they would send maintenance…they never came by. All in all - we would stay again though.

Arrived to a corner condo with a double balcony and great view of the beach. The light switches in both bedrooms are disconnected, you have to make your way to the ceiling fan to turn in the lights. The drain in the main bathroom shower and sink STILL doesn’t drain well. The floors felt gross after the first night with no broom or anything to clean with. This condo is defiantly not cared for at all. Just a money maker. I’ve stayed in this area for the last 8 years and have never experienced such a run down place. Absolutely no spices, coffee filters or anything in the cabinet to make the stay a little more comfortable. OH and the mattresses are terrible! You can not make a move on the master bed without it squeezing and creaking. We actually decided to dive home after the 4th night so we didn’t have to sleep there again. The worst conditioned condo we have experienced.

You cannot beat the area. Period! You have to oay extra for parking, but then you may walk to stuff nearby. Pros: CLEAN! I checked the ceiling fans & vents for dirt or dust! Excellent when it comes to cleanliness. Location! You cannot get any better. New microwave and dishwasher. Stove & oven are perfectly acceptable. Fridge is older & the shelf in the freezer looks rusted, but all worked just fine. Air-conditioning worked great. Cons: Washing machine needs to be replaced. Yes, it washes, but it is so loud you cannot hear the television over the washing machine. When the washing cycle is done, the clothes are still dripping wet, but the dryer works very well. So if you put your wet clothes into the dryer, and set it on the longest timer, your clothes will dry. The bathroom in the master bedroom has a very slow draining tub and sink. Water will stand around your feet while you shower & water will sit in the sink. They do have satellite, but there is no streaming service provided. There is no place to hook up your own streaming device if you bring one to watch netflix, Amazon prime, hbo, etc. So you are stuck with satellite. The television in the master bedroom has a big scratch in it. It did not disturb my viewing, but it might be a distraction for others. There are slashes in a lamp shade in the master bedroom.

The unit immediately upon entry was very musty smelling. The textured ceiling in the kitchen was falling down with a huge piece on the floor upon entry. The door to the laundry room was unattached. The washer was EXTREMELY loud, leaked on the floor and didn't spin dry the clothes properly. Dishes were dirty. Main bathroom tub did not drain and was left with several inches of water after one shower. Pull out couch was extremely uncomfortable and we considered buying a blow up mattress for the floor. We didn't have any blankets but after notifying management they immediately brought us brand new ones. Master bedroom mattress is needing to be replaced. BUT the view was incredible and the porch was ideal. Location is ideal to beach and night life. If problems could be fixed it would be a wonderful place. We called before booking after reading reviews & were told all issues were resolved from previous reviews but clearly not. We will not be renting from here again.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was amazing! Short walk to the restaurants and shops and very short distance from the condo to the beach (which made hauling all our stuff stumper easy!!). However, the condo itself needs a lot of work. It is older, so everything looks dirty and worn out. The ceiling was also falling apart in the kitchen, and when we woke up one morning there was pieces on the ground. We have a 1 year old who puts everything in his mouth, so this was less than ideal. We did not reach out to the owners bc of the short stay, and we do not spend much time in the room to begin with so it wasn’t worth the hassle of getting someone in there to fix it. All this being said, I wouldn’t stay again for the simple fact that everything felt dirty to me and was somewhat falling apart.

The location was perfect.
This isn't red carpet movie star hosting place.
But, the location is top. It was perfect balance for my family with 2 teenagers. I would and am planning on a return trip!

We love the location(walking distance to city park).The condo needs a deep cleaning (cabinets and blinds and under the beds, etc)and needs some upgrades(hood over the stove, refrigerator has some rust in the freezer)The washer makes a TERRIBLE noise when it is spinning; I'm surprised our neighbors didn't complain.(sounds like a subway train starting up)

We reserved this place to be within walking distance of the Shrimpfest but then Shrimpfest was cancelled. We went anyway because we enjoy the beach in October. The furniture in this condo needs to be replaced. One of the chairs in the living room had a very large rip in the seat as well as being dirty. We were only allowed one parking pass and had to pay $28.75 for the one, so be prepared for that. We have never stayed anywhere that you have to pay for a parking pass. Someone other than the property management company handled the parking passes and they were not very friendly. Other than that, we enjoyed the location and being right on the beach was a plus. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Renting was easy. The condo itself was deplorable. Stained chairs in living room, one was ripped all the way down the middle. The couch was very uncomfortable and aged. I would have hated to have anyone sleep on that pullout bed.Ugh! Refrigerator freezer made about a dozen ice cubes in 3 1/2 days and shelf was rusted. It wasn't very clean either (dusty and doors not wiped down clean. Too many chairs on balconcy. The view and location are great but the condo should have a much needed update. No one wants to sit on that furniture in the living room and ice would be nice.

The location was good and the balcony view was very nice. The property is very dated - including the bedding. The kitchen accessories are very hodgepodge.

Condo was clean but very outdated. Kitchen needs pots and pans. Island Winds West will sell you 2 parking passes but not Island Winds East! So if you rent a condo that sleeps 6-8 people you better be able to ride in one vehicle.

Loved it, only 2 negatives. We were not told it was only 1 parking pass per condo, so my son had to park in public parking. And we never could get the air conditioning to work, very there are ceiling fans in every room and it wasn’t hotter while we were there. Everything else was perfect! Highly recommend! (We let them know and they are getting maintenance working on the air)

The location was perfect. The condo was dirty, moldy and in great need of an update/ makeover. The couch in the living room was sandy and dirty. The two chairs had water and black marks all over them. The stove is probably molder than I am and took FOREVER to heat up.
I travel a lot and I have never staid anywhere that came with so little. Not with the price at all.
