  Brent S from Spring Hill, TN recommends this vacation rental

  The condo looked better in person than the photos I thought. Very roomy and almost like staying in a house rather than a condo. As mentioned in other reviews, the light fixture in the kitchen is a hazard, if you are over 6 feet tall. Everything else about the condo was nice and we will probably be back. The Ft Walton beach area was new to us, we usually stay inside Destin. If you drive towards the west of Ft Walton beach, it gets a little sketchy, but we always drove east, into Destin when we wanted to eat and play. Overall, it was a very nice vacation and the whole family enjoyed themselves, no real complaints.

  • Manager Responded on 7/19/2022

    Fort Walton Beach is a beautiful area too, and going west would have taken you to Navarre , Gulf Breeze and Pensacola, and you would have enjoyed that ride there. Surf Dweller 701 is a very large and beautiful condo with a spectacular view from all angles and the huge 2 balconies, and awesome views from up there. We hope you enjoyed the wonderful sunsets from up, and come see us again.

  Judy F from Dacula, Ga recommends this vacation rental

  Having ours on and his family was overall a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. The three bedroom makes it much easier to accommodate larger families. Myself being slightly handicapped would have felt more secure if the master bath would have had some assistance hand bars and maybe a handicapped commode but I survived so that maybe a future project to make it more handicapped accessible. Just a thought. Discovered some black mold over the two top cabinet doors above stove but as we didn't have to use them it didn't present a problem. Like I say it was overall a good stay and I only mention these things to maybe give the owners a review.

  • Manager Responded on 6/18/2022

    Judy it is great to hear about your review and i sure will address it with the owner. I am glad that you always enjoy this condo, and especially the size of it and the 2 balconies and the space of the whole unit. call us again to book this for your next vacation.

  This is the second year that our family stayed in this unit. It was a great locations with one large and one small balconies. Having beach service included in your amenities is a great plus. Very roomy, clean, well stocked kitchen and beach equipment are just some of the things that make this unit so great. I would highly recommend it to a large family. Parking on the left end was wonderful. You walked right in to the elevator and when you stepped out you were at the door to your unit. Beautiful decor and furnishings.

  • Manager Responded on 3/29/2022

    Beautiful, we are happy that you enjoyed 701 sd.and its location and amenities that it has. Most, the views from the balconies are amazing and to watch the sunset is incredible. We would love to see you all again down the road to this awesome condo.

  a guest from OLATHE, KS recommends this vacation rental

  My family and I loved this unit. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and we didn't feel like we were walking over each other. The views were great with the wrap around deck and my kids loved having their own private deck for hanging out in the evenings.
  My only suggestion for the unit would be to place can lights in the kitchen instead of having a light fixture. Anyone over 5'10" hits their head while walking through the kitchen.
  The only disappointment was there was no hot tub. What looked like a hot tub in the pictures turned out to be a baby pool.

  Elicia N from Colorado Springs, CO recommends this vacation rental

  From the time we booked our trip to the check in at the Real Estate Office to walking in the door at the property the experience was perfect. This was our first time using VRBO, and I was skeptical. All of my fears were laid to rest the moment we walked in the door. There is a closet when we walked in with beach chairs, pool floats for our use. Each bedroom has a view of the ocean. My husband and I were traveling with two other friends, and my GF had her own mini master suite with her own bathroom and balcony with views. My husbands BF took the room with two twin beds and a balcony with views. In the master we had a HUGE bathroom with soaking tub, there is a massive closet where we laid out our suitcases and the big king bed was situated in the room so that we could see the gulf. A door that walked out onto the balcony adjoining the living room & dining room. Now for the amazing part.. the curtains were closed when we walked in and so we were able to take in all the comforts of this suite. Big kitchen with a long bar, full size fridge, stove, coffee maker and dishwasher & AN ICE MAKER! There is a long dining room table and we were able to invite my nephew and his wife over for a great seafood feast from Stewby's Seafood Shanty. Once the curtains were opened we had 200 degree views of the gulf and the beach. Seriously we were all blown away. The property was very clean, and better than the pictures or description. One small design decision we thought was a negative was the light fixture in the kitchen, it is a track light that hangs a little low for the two men we traveled with who were over 6' tall. They bonked their heads, but that was so minor and it didn't interfere with our amazing experience. The beds were all comfy, I asked everyone so I could accurately write this review. The towels were supplied and I knew there was a washer and dryer so I packed a couple tide pods so we could wash our stuff before we left. There are laundry baskets supplied for each guest.

  We came down to visit family for Thanxgiving and this was the perfect unit to host our family in. 1925 sq feet gave us plenty of room to spread out and no one was on top o us. There may have been a few things that were a little 'dated' but the views, the room and everything else about this unit far outweighed that. Absolutely loved this unit.

  • Manager Responded on 12/4/2020

    Barbara thanks for the review, we sure are very happy to hear that you enjoyed this unit, and we are always blessed to keep having you back with us, and Surf Dweller 701. The views from there is phenomenal, and especially on the 7th floor what a wonderful view also of the sunset and sunrise, and the space on the inside of this unit, is marvelous.

  Lolette and John G recommends this vacation rental

  As a long term renter (15+ years) of 701 Surfdweller, I am pleased the owner has listened to my suggestions & spent some of our massive rental increases to upgrade this condo. This is appreciated. However, my brother from Orlando visited us & slept in the back bedroom. They said that the mattress was “lumpy” & needed to be replaced. Also that the commodore in that bathroom needs to replace the internal “guts”. The internal seal is leaking & water continually runs to fill the tank. Also the microwave door handle was broken when we checked in & needs to be replaced. Also somewhere down the line the owner needs to think about updating the kitchen cabinets. They are 1960’s vintage. Don’t get me wrong. We like the condo. These are constructive comments to make it better. Also we love the improvements the owner has made in the master bedroom.

  • Manager Responded on 11/6/2020

  We’ve been going to Surf Dweller for more than 35 years. We’ve stayed in so very many condos here over the years. This 701 condo lived up to the pretty pictures and written description. We were seven adults and one infant and were very comfortable with the three bedrooms three baths and living room kitchen area. My only recommendation is to replace the sofa bed mattress. It’s springs poked my adult son that slept on it. The other beds were all comfy. It had what we needed in the kitchen for cooking, the ice maker was a nice perk too, 2 low beach chairs for our use at the waters edge were a pleasant surprise! My entire group voted to stay here again next year!

  Been renting this unit for 15 years. Always a good experience; however, owner has raised the rent 46.3% over the past 2 years & has done little or no upgrading of the unit. The mattress on the bed in the master bedroom desperately needs replacing. It’s killing my back. It’s time they shared some of the extra money we’ve been giving them with the customer. The cabinets in the kitchen need replacing.

  We have been comnf to the surf dweller for over 25 years.
  This is our favorite vacation spot .
  We did have issues with a few things , sleep safe mattress is completely worn out the bars hurt our backs a lot. Lights over bad the pendent one did not work .
  There needs to be outlet covers over all outlets that don't have one. Children can put their hand inside of the outlet area.
  The shower curtain in the hall bathroom fell down at least ten times and we kept putting it back up. Finally gave up and left it down. Also consider getting a curved rod and a hookless shower curtain . They work great I have them in my home. We like the condo plenty of room and a great view .

  • Manager Responded on 2/13/2019

    Thanks for your review. There has been a new mattress put in - but everyone has different feelings about how a mattress should feel. Some like it hard, soft, medium, etc. The other items that you have mentioned could certainly have been taken care of for you if you would have reported these issues to our office. Please, in the future let us know of anything that you are not happy with, that does not operate correctly, or needs repair and we will see to it that it is taken care of. thanks for letting us know about these issues!

  We love the size of the condo, the expansive view from all areas and the nice amenities. We thought we would be more disappointed with the pool on the front of the building, but it really was not too bad.

    They are some of the largest two bedrooms on the Island if not the largest. Thank you!

  We truly enjoyed our stay at Surf Dweller and would definitely recommend this property. Condo was beautiful with extra large balcony. Living room furniture was very comfortable for everyone while watching movies. Loved the large ice maker that made adequate ice for the cooler on the beach each day. Alicia J. Hollis, realtor company was professional and accommodating.

  We absolutely loved our stay at the Surf Dweller, Unit 701. Sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset and the surf was calming and breathtaking. This unit was close to our favorite restaurant "Pandora's" and also close to restaurants in Destin. We will definitely rent this unit again.
  I would recommend some attention to replacing light bulbs, batteries in the master bedroom TV remote and checking the master bathroom toilet (the tank does not fill every time).

  • Manager Responded on 5/18/2016

    Thank you for staying with us again Ms Stanford. We certainly will attend to the issues you had in this condo. This is one of our prize units because of it's size and location and we do want to keep everything in good order. We look forward to your next visit with us.

  had a great time. weather could have been a little warmer, but it is November. Living room furniture and carpet were very new. Unit is older but very nice, just needs a little routine maintenance, such as lights that don't work, shower heads need replacing... I know it was off season, but the surf dweller property doesn't seem to have daily maintenance/cleaning personnel.

  We absolutely love Surf Dweller. This was our family's 10th year. The 7th floor view was beautiful and the ocean breeze on the enormous balcony was so relaxing. Loved having an ice maker! Unit does need some attention with moisture issues and unfinished repairs. I would suggest bringing unbreakable beverage containers to use on beach and by the pool since there are none available for guests in the unit.

  My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins stayed in a large vacation home in Pensacola for years. When it was destroyed by Hurricane Opal, my parents found Surf Dweller and we've stayed there ever since. Literally, every room in the condo is spacious, even the laundry room, and has either a view of the bay or the Gulf. To me, the view is most important and the balcony has more than enough room for a normal sized patio table and chairs. This is not typical for most condos these days.
