The rooms were clean, the staff were nice and efficient, and the amenities were updated and in working order. The a/c worked so well! We stayed cool the whole trip. The breakfast provided was simple (cereal, waffles, microwaveable sausage biscuits, yogurt, etc). They need more fresh fruit and some other protein options. It's carb heavy. I had three big complaints. 1. The beds were really high off the ground and my friend has knee trouble and struggled. 2. There is pool seating, but not enough lounge chairs. 3. The breezeway doors are terrible. They are wooden doors with low doorknobs. I almost got hit hard in the head. The Islander Inn had glass doors that push/pull which is safer and easier with the luggage carts.

My husband and I reserved a 3 bedroom unit at Triton's Trumpet through Coastal Resort Sales and…read moreRentals. Our first surprise, the master suite had no closet for our use; the owner put a lock and sign on it saying Owner's Closet. We checked another bedroom and saw it was filled with all kinds of stuff that belonged to the owner, including blankets, sheets, towels, toys, etc There was only 1 closet available. We've rented vacation units before and saw closets with that kind of lock and sign on it but it was in the hallway. The owner of this unit had a lock and sign on the closet in the hallway too. I called Coastal Resort and was very disappointed in the manner they chose to handle the situation. It left us no other choice but to stay there all night because they claimed they couldn't contact the owner until morning. I told them the only acceptable solution would be to move us to another unit or refund our money. I got a Call the next morning saying the owner said there was a hook we could hang our clothes on, and they said the owner said she could send over instructions for the tvs that my husband couldn't get to work (my husband worked at QVC for 25 yrs., as a Quality Assurance Specialist, testing every kind of electrical device imaginable and never had a problem setting up something as simple as a tv). This was TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!! We left the next day and found a beautiful unit at the Astoria vacation rental, so nice. It had everything Coastal Resorts didn't have with Triton's Trumpet (we stayed in a 2 bedroom unit yrs ago & it was more room in that unit than the 3 bedroom unit, and more modern, too). 201A unit even had an electric stove with coils, an antique to say the least. I haven't cooked on a stove like that in over 25 yrs and I didn't like it then. Needless to say I did a dispute with our CC company and I told my CC company I wanted every cent returned because we had a miserable night and our guests who had medical problems were not happy either. I don't usually do reviews but I don't want anyone to experience what we went through. I feel strongly that the owner of 201A Triton's Trumpet cares very little about guests who rent their unit and more about their own desires. There were also issues with the keys...we had to use 3 to get into the unit and they were not marked. Oh and how could I forget this, they had no loading carts to carry your things. The only thing Coastal Rentals would say about the closet situation is that it was in the owner's lease that they could put locks on the closets for their use. I got no reply to my question: How does your making things comfortable for the Owner help us with this terrible inconvenience we find ourselves in because of their gross negligence? I don't want anyone to go through this nightmare. Oh and by the way, the nice unit Astoria was rented via Shoreline Rentals and not only was the unit absolutely phenomenal but the staff were great!!!

I responded asking if it was possible we could check in earlier and they let us! They texted me the second a room was available and clean and we were able to check in at 11:30. It was perfect! we checked out of the house at 10, went and got breakfast and then was able to drop our stuff and head to the beach.
