Loved this condo! Great location and super comfortable. Management was responsive and property was small enough to enjoy the beach without a lot of crowding. The only things I wish would have been better were the "video library" which was mostly kid movies and even that was a very limited selection and the wifi was spotty.

This trip has turned out amazing! The condo is GORGEOUS! It ended up being me, my husband, and our 3 kids and it was perfect! We came during Hurricane Helena but got lucky and it was beautiful! The sand is like no other. We will be coming back with a bigger group next time! I don’t want to leave! ❤️

Lovely stay.

I would 1000% stay in this condo again. The only minor hiccups were lack of some sort of chain lock or deadbolt inside the unit at the entry door. Also the dryer lint trap has had a rough life and ate a few swimsuit drawstrings. The view was amazing, the decor was perfect and the kitchen layout provided an beautiful open Floorplan with lots of space for little ones to run around on a rainy day. The beds were superb!

Wow! Loved it!

We’ve been coming to Okaloosa Island for many years, stayed at this condo because we needed extra space. So glad we did because not only was it clean, it was modern and has all the amenities! The third floor unit is one step from the elevator making coming and going easy. There were extra blankets and pillows in all the rooms, a new washer and dryer, kuerig, coffee pot, toaster and iron. The bunk room is an added delight if kids are on your trip! Beautiful pool, tennis court access and beach service! Bring your beach towels. Cant wait to stay here again.

Great beach getaway

My family of 6 stayed here for a beach weekend trip. Property is great! It is directly on the beach, and this particular unit is directly across from the elevator! Close to grocery store, restaurants - easy access, not crowded. We noticed the stove light was not working and they came to fix it immediately! Excellent service and quick response from owners/property management company. Would stay here again.

Great location for a getaway!

We loved this place and really enjoyed it. Great view from master bedroom and kitchen. Master shower was very nice and a great way to end the day! Having an umbrella and chairs as part of our stay was a nice perk. We only had 2 complaints really - elevator was out most of the time (which is nobody’s fault - it happens) and the floor of the condo (which was a really nice beachy look) was in dire need of sweeping and deep cleaning as our feet were constantly Sandy and dirty. Honestly that’s the only thing… everything else was perfect! Washer and dryer was great and we used it. Publix is just down the street and that was great! We really enjoyed it and will definitely book again!

Family Trip 2024

The condo was nice and clean. We had 3 kids under 12 and we were very disappointed in the pool. It was in the parking lot which we didn’t like at all. I wasn’t aware of this when I booked. The second bedroom was so small with zero drawer space. No rugs at all in the condo to get grip off your feet. No bath mats at all. We did enjoy our stay I just probably won’t stay there again. Oh the refrigerator had rust all over it

Amy, thank you for sharing your feedback, we're pleased you enjoyed your stay! We're sorry that you didn't like the location of the pool and our location manager noted that although the pool is located in the front of the building versus behind, there is a regular pool and kiddie pool provided, which many guests enjoy. They also assured us that bath mats and towels were provided and the refrigerator is in good working order and is not covered in rust. They passed your suggestion to add more rugs to the homeowner and we appreciate your comments as an opportunity to improve. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again.

Girls Trip

Condo was beautiful with a great location. Looks just like the listing online. Plenty of space for a ladies trip celebrating my 50th birthday. However, there were EXACTLY 8 towels - not one extra. There were no pot holders in the kitchen. The balcony furniture was old and unsafe and the balcony really needs a good cleaning. Overall, the cleanliness of the unit left a LOT to be desired. Additionally, VACASA was horrible to deal with. No responses to multiple emails, ridiculous hold times on the phone. We needed an extra parking pass - asked about In advance, and have t heard anything.

Pretty view

Been coming to surf dweller since I was a kid. Very nice place to be! This is a beautiful room (decor) but that was it. Balcony table is horrible. If you have 7 people coming in from beach only 2 can take a shower before hot water is gone. Neither fan worked in bathrooms. Nowhere to hang towels or bathing suits. The master shower has no handles. If your older you cannot shave your legs. It's an accident waiting to happen. But over all it's the beach. Very nice view but the room needs to be cleaner and great for younger people. Vacasa was great and quickly responded and answered questions. All I did was text them with a quick text back. It was nice!

Hello Kelly, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Our local team has repaired the bathroom fans, and the homeowner has replaced the outdoor furniture. We hope we have a chance to host you again!

Surf Dweller 306

Surf Dweller 306 was a wonderful place to stay. The condo itself was as described. The condo is in the middle of the building and immediately in front of the elevator, which is nice as you carry up bags or groceries. The initial supplies of essentials are provided but you will need to supply the rest after. The beds were not the most comfortable for our preference, but nothing that would keep us from returning. We were not aware initially but beach service with 1 umbrella and 2 chairs was provided by the unit. The beach is absolutely beautiful, white sand, perfect for walking, not crowded. The communication was great. The information before getting to the condo was clear and easy to follow. They messaged me to check how everything was upon arrival and to let me know if we had any concerns/problems. I let them know the Keurig machine was not working and they had a brand new replacement to the Condo within a couple hours. Would highly recommend.

What happened? Not as nice as it used to be

We stayed here 2 years ago and it was honestly one of the best vacations ever. We rebooked for 2024 right away. But the condo needs a good deep cleaning. When we got there we had 4 light bulbs that were out (rendering 1 bedroom completely in the dark.) we text for 2 days with Vacasa and they assured us “maintenance would be by shortly” to replace the bulbs and nobody ever showed. We waited for hours. And the master bed sheets had 2 large blood stains on them and Vacasa informed me I had to “wash the sheets.” Really? Two of the pans in the kitchen were dirty and the floor was dirty and sandy and had not been swept. We were very unhappy after spending a lot of money for a week. Best part of the condo was the washer dryer which we used a lot and the view. But it definitely fallen down in quality. Vacasa did a very poor job cleaning and preparing. Oh I should mention there was sand in master shower floor too. So disappointed. We will not be returning. Property owner, get a new management company!
