Almost Afloat

We had a wonderful stay at Almost Afloat. The only issue was when we checked-in there was a lot of water of the floor extending from the kitchen through the living room. Since it was after 6 (on a Saturday), we called the emergency number because we were worried about a leak. We did not hear back from Parker-Kaufman until Monday morning.

Great Location

We had a wonderful stay. The property is as described and easily accommodated our family of four with two teenagers. Driftwood beach and Horton Pond are both very close walks and we rode our bikes on a nice bike path through the marsh to the fishing pier. We liked this unit's location at the far end of the complex where it was very quiet.

Great place

No one received our messages about needing late check in and the after hours number on our check in instructions was incorrect. It was 2am before we got into the condo. Once we were in the property was lovely and the stay was super nice!

Beautiful location. Wonderful time with family on Island

Plenty of bath towels but one kitchen towel and wash rag for the week was not enough. Very basic kitchen items. The Biggest problem was "critters" ! we thought we heard scratching in the ceiling at night. When we woke up, a bun I has in a ziplock bag that I had left of the counter was now on the floor. The bag had been torn into, the top bun was gone and the bottom bun was half gone!! We made sure not to accidently leave food out for the remainder of our vacation.
