Le Maisonette is a beautiful and comfortable unit in a gorgeous little condo community. The courtyard is so inviting and relaxing that its hard to leave it on a breezy day. You're in your own little oasis.
The only downside of the unit was that it offers no place to hang wet/damp items like towels and bathing suits. This is going to cause damage to the property/furnture in time. It is forbidding to leave wet items on the porch. There is only 1 bath size towel bar in the bathroom, but the unit sleeps up to 4 people. There needs to be designated hooks or retractable line so bath and face towels, beach towels, and bathing suites can all dry out without using furniture. To the owner-May I suggest using the underutilized dormer area.
The tiny pool in the courtyard is actually a jacuzzi that no longer works, too bad, but it was still nice taking a little dip in the evening before the sun went down as no one is permitted in the pool after sun down. 🤷🏼♀️ The property management, who lives on site, are strict about their rules, including quiet time. Do not go here it you plan to party loudly in the evening.
There is 1 coin-operated washer and dryer for all the units (10-12?) and le Maisonette provided a few Tide pods. You’ll need $3 in quarters to wash and dry one load. The property managers were able to provide the change for dollars. You see the husband and wife team out most nights sitting under the fairy lights chatting. She’s the landscaping designer and an excellent one at that.
You cannot beat the location either. We walked everywhere. You can rent golf carts, but there's no place to park them. Bikes are an excellent option. There is also the free Duvall loop which we found dependable the one time we tried to use it. And there are 2 bus lines that run East-West on the North and South sides of the island. We had no use for them. We preferred to walk as it was March and perfect weather with beautiful breezes. We liked to see the properties so we'd always use a different path to see new houses or businesses.. It's easy to do since the town is a grid. This unit is only 2 blocks from Hemingway’s House, prime real estate. Don't miss happy hour at the Old Towne Tavern and Beer Garden, only 1.5 blocks away. It had the longest happy hour with 1/2 price pub food too that was delicious! Best tuna poke I had on the Island with homemade pita chips and greens. I'm still wishing I could get some.
