Drift & Dune – Longboat Beachfront #101 RVA

Overall nice stay. I’d rate the building as a three star level hotel. Beach view was obstructed by pool equipment, but the sky was big. I’m an Interior Designer so I notice such things more. But it is ON THE BEACH. The paint job wasn’t great on the walls. Rather sloppy. Missing shelf in primary bathroom. Oddly low mirror in secondary bathroom. No mirror at all in primary bedroom…could use a full length, or any really.

When we got there to check in it there was no one at the property and the instructions said to check in at the property. When I finally got a hold of someone they said we were to check in at the office down the road. Once we were checked in we realized there were not enough blankets for us. We were able to go by the office and they sent a message to someone who got back to us the next day with extra towels and blankets. The property overall was very clean with a ton of toiletries. Appliances all worked well. I would suggest more regular glasses or plastic glasses, than so many coffee mugs. Lots of utensils and plates/bowls. It would have been nice if there were directions for the TV system because it was a bit complicated (not sure we used it correctly). There were games to play and a small puzzle too. There was plenty of toilet paper and paper towels for the week. The king mattress was firm and comfortable. The twin mattress was firm and the pull out couch was not very comfortable for our 7 year old so he slept on the trundle under the day bed. The patio had a lot of bugs around it. The pool was small and nice but not extremely clean. LOVED the beach and the view was amazing. I feel like the location caused the price to be so high for what we got. OVERALL had a wonderful stay would come back to this area again maybe in another unit for our crew to be more comfortable.

View was excellent. The unit was very worn. The bathrooms are desperately in need of, not cosmetic upgrade, but complete replacement!

Amazing location right on the beach! Bit of a weird layout but who cares; had enough room to sleep 5 comfortably and absolutely beautiful scenery right out the backdoor!

Check in and out was easy, the pool and condo were great, and the location was awesome!

Fantastic location right on the beach! The unit was very clean and came equipped with everything we needed. We will stay there again :)

And we loved the entire Saratoga area. Had a nice date lunch on St. Armands Circle on St. Armands Island. Though the facility looked dated from the outside it is in a VERY nice neighborhood with beach mansions all around. The inside was updated to look modern. The front door locks didn't seems very secure/safe but there was a deadbolt for when you were in the condo apartment to lock yourself in. It was a little strange to walk directly into the unit and be right in the master bedroom but it wasn't the end of the world... HOWEVER, THERE IS A LIGHT JUST OUTSIDE the master bedroom that shines through the window all night. We had to hang up a towel and put a pillow over that window to make it dark enough to sleep. Nice Kitchen and appliances. Suitable dining room area. Nice bathrooms. The Smart TVs gave us a little trouble. Couldn't finish our cheesy holiday Hallmark movie. The pool water was warm during a cooler time of year when we visited. The check-in process was a little funny. The directions in the email and app that we downloaded said we could check-in with the office onsite but that did not end up being accurate. There is an office just down the road that we found the address and number for and we had to drive down there (maybe 1 mile or less away) to get our keys. Also the wifi did not work for us immediately but later it was working after the staff checked on it. Also, the credentials for the wifi weren't accurate in the email and app that we downloaded. That said, we enjoyed the place and it was a good price. Very nice area and lots to do. Can't get over the sunsets. I could retire here.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo is well appointed and spacious. Amenities galore! This unit can sleep five but we were only two so we had plenty of space. Comfortable bed and plenty of beach towels. Had some trouble working the tv’s but eventually got it sorted.

Condo definitely needs some updating. The pictures on the Vrbo don’t match what you get. A lot of construction going on and around the property. Proximity to the beach was fantastic! Our refrigerator went out but it was taken care of the next day. Also..a very bright porch light shines into the master bedroom and there was no way to turn off.

Lovely accommodations, perfect location and more than we could have hoped for.

Great location. Beautiful Gulf view! Wonderful weather.Not enough beach lounge chairs for 14 units.Be careful walking off back patio! There are exposed irrigation pipes/lines and rusty electrical conduit.Could use a couple of sauce pans in the kitchen.Old pictures of what the property looks like.
