Sunset Beach Beautiful 2 Bedroom Villa 1.5 miles from Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach Beautiful 2 Bedroom Villa 1.5 miles from Sunset Beach

8/10 Good
"The owner was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions. Extremely good about getting back with us when contacted. The beds were comfortable, lots of options to choose from for pillows and blankets. The Resort area was nice, quiet, and close to everything. We left a day early because our 6 year old Corgi got extremely sick on Day 4 of a 7 day trip. It was Labor Day weekend and a lot of businesses were closed (including Vet hospitals). Our Vet seems to think she ate something not intended for a dog. Since our dog was always on a leash when leaving the Condo, we are unsure how this happened. Just prior to her getting sick, the Resort was cutting grass and spraying something on the ground. While it seems unfair to report this as being part of a review on the Condo, I have yet to hear back from Kathy Nobles, Operations Manager, at Sea Trail Resort letting me know what was sprayed on the ground. Because if it wasn't the stuff being sprayed on the ground, then it came from the condo. In all fairness, it could have been a previous guest that dropped something on the ground that could have rolled under the beds. From this point forward, I plan to check everything (even under the beds) upon arrival when traveling with my dog. I'm hopeful that the cleaning crew does the same."
