Boardwalk by Youngs Sun Coast

We recently stayed at the Boardwalk during our visit to the Shrimp Festival. The location of the condo is perfect. It is right next to Sea-N-Suds restaurant (home of great, fast seafood and the best Long Island Tea on the beach) and just a few blocks from the shrimp festival. There is a gift shop on the ground floor that sells some beach stuff (a great plastic net for sea shell or crab hunting) Sea-n-suds t-shirts and beer if you are interested. There is an outdoor pool with plenty of room to soak up the sun and great beach access, with a short walk down to the pier (currently under construction) There is parking directly in front of the hotel and overflow parking across the street. There is also a Surf Style shop directly across the beach in case you forgot something or need extra gear for the beach. There is a waffle house across the street and the pancake house about a block down (in the best western) for breakfast. The rooms vary as they are owned by different people and have different degrees of updating. Our room (a one bedroom condo) was nice and clean but not very updated. The decor was pretty plain but the appliances were new. Stackable washer/dryer made our stay great--since I only took one load of laundry home. The view from our balcony was wonderful. Our only complaints were the TV was small (not really what you come to the beach for anyway) and the bedroom was located directly by the hallway, hallway light and elevator. The noise from the hall was not bad, but we had to cover the window with a trashbag because the light was so bright. The rest of our family stayed in a two bedroom, two bath condo at the boardwalk which was exceptionally nice--wonderfully decorated with new granite countertops in the kitchen and a large television with a VCR and DVD player. Their unit had a full sized washer and dryer, a wonderful dishwasher and a very large pantry. Overall this is an excellent place to stay and the rates are very resonable. It is surrounded by larger, newer, more expensive condos (The lighthouse, Seawinds, and San Carlos) but we will probably continue to stay at the boardwalk.
