  We had an awesome time. Rental was exactly what we wanted. I would suggest that it might be time to clean carpets. After showers and walking around condo not going outside our feet were very dirty.

  • Manager Responded on 7/14/2025

    Thank you for your concerns and will pass this along. Hope to see you next summer for your vacation as well.

  Stephanie P from Beech Island, SC recommends this vacation rental

  Condo was a little aged but that didn't cause any issues as it was very clean, view from patio was amazing, and management was quick to replace broken tv. The parking at the location is on the tight side so as long as you have a car you wouldn't have any issues, but full-size trucks and SUVs would be a challenge. Overall, a great place to stay.

  • Manager Responded on 4/14/2025

    Thank you so much for the kind words. We really hope to see you all again next year.

  Robert S from Homewood, AL recommends this vacation rental

  Great condo on the beach. Loved the ground floor entrance- could park right outside door to make unloading and packing up so easy. Back door access to the beach was great and able to avoid elevators. Loved having the private hose to rinse off sand on the back patio. Plenty of space inside condo. Kitchen well stocked with everything needed. Would stay here again. Only downside was having to physically check in at the realty office. Wish we could check in completely remotely but that is a very mild inconvenience overall.

  • Manager Responded on 7/11/2023

    Robert thanks for letting us know about your enjoyment of the condo 103 at the Surf Dweller and how convenient it was to get in and out of the condo. We would love to see you again for your next vacation, and we are not very far from the property.

  Paula W from Castor, LA recommends this vacation rental

  It’s nicely decorated with enough space for a large family to be more than comfortable just steps to the beach. It has plenty of kitchen dishes and utensils for cooking. I enjoyed this place being on the bottom floor with an outside seating for a family to sit and relax with a view. My husband has had multiple surgeries and the walk was just right there to the beach, no elevator needed on the bottom floor. It’s convenient in its location as well for getting out for groceries and dinner, etc. Lots of nice restaurants just right there, along with things to do for the grands. The furniture was comfortable and nicely decorated. We had a the best vacay with our grown children and grands. We will definitely recommend to anyone with a family and grands or with elders, literally steps to the beach.

  • Manager Responded on 6/30/2023

    Paula we are so happy that you enjoyed the unit and we will be happy to see you again next year for your vacation and back to this unit again.

  Brian C from Commercial Point, OH recommends this vacation rental

  We were unsure about a first floor unit, but this turned out to be great! Still can see the water, and no stairs or elevators. That was ideal for lugging beach toys and fishing rods back and forth. Very large patio with convenient sand shower, and the interior is roomy more like a house than a hotel. We used the pool and even played a little night tennis under the lights. Exceptionally quiet and a far less crowded area of the beach than other units nearby. Having the umbrella service at no extra charge is an awesome perk! Check-in and check out is right down the street and super easy after-hours. Parking is a little tight but manageable. Overall an excellent choice!

  a guest from Vinemont, AL recommends this vacation rental

  The unit was clean and well-stocked, and being on the ground floor, was very convenient. The complex is in a great location but being limited to one vehicle on-site was problematic for a group our size; thankfully, Alicia Hollis Realty allowed us to park one of our vehicles at their office located just a few blocks away for the duration of our stay. The DirecTV service was extremely sporadic, even on sunny days, but the free wi-fi worked great. Overall, we enjoyed a great stay and I highly recommend Surf Dweller 103 and Alicia Hollis Realty!

  Brian H from Pardeeville, WI recommends this vacation rental

  The Surf Dweller condo is perfect for a family, a couple, or even just a loner, looking for a relaxing stay on the beach. A short walk from the patio and you are on the white sand, with the blue waves rolling in!
  
  The location is perfect for those who also like to get out and enjoy the fun Florida has to offer, other than the beach. Snorkeling, fine food, and all the other vacation worthy activities are a short drive away. The Boardwalk is only 20 minutes walk down the beach.
  
  The unit is spacious, with enough bed space for more than 10 people! The property is well maintained, and a pleasure to stay at.

  Kelsi D from Weatherford, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We had 4 kids (2 under 2) so I was dreading the beach “vacation” bc it’s just work to me, but this location being ground floor walk off ur patio and ur there made this trip awesome! I could come and go with the little ones and it not be an big ordeal for everyone bc it’s literally right there And it wasn’t crowded ever! No sand in ur car, leave ur beach toys and boards on the patio and walk in. Yes it’s dated but it was perfectly fine, we came for the beach not to stay inside all day. Great big kitchen with everything u need to cook! 5 min to Destin, the location was perfect.

  • Manager Responded on 8/15/2020

  Great location, perfect view of the beach. Unit needs updating, but not a big deal. Clean except for items left by someone before us under the bed. I always check under the beds to make sure we don't leave anything and that is when I found a few items. Need to make sure cleaners do a better job. Free beach service was a plus. We would rent this unit again.

  This unit is on the ground floor and is perfect for getting on and off the beach quickly. The microwave turntable doesn't work so it cooked food unevenly. Also the oven doesn't cook appropriately. Made brownies and had to cook them almost twice as long as the recipe called for. Nothing technically wrong with the quality of the place just a little outdated.

  I enjoyed just about every part of the trip. But I can say that the seals around the bath tub needs cleaned and reseal.
  although, I needed Wifi from the first day to the last it wasn't provided at first. The owners did put in a wifi connection using my cable, which I left to ensure that the next tenant will have the wifi experience _ very important!!!!
  Although, I did not have time or even did not catch any fish. I seen them swimming along the coast. The beach was nice and I had a chair and umbrella available. I was able to use that twice. Marty S. From Toney,AL

  Goergeous beach, great location, very family oriented but just a few minutes from the busy Destin with access to many restaurants, golf courses, shops, etc. Condo was very clean, unit was very large, comfortable and fully equipped. Pool is not heated and for April that's a must. I would say that was the only downside of this condo.
