Jason was very helpful when I had questions. He got back to me immediately. The property was clean and looked just like the pictures. The proximity to the beach was amazing loved our stay.
Great condo! So close and easy to get to the beach. Beautiful views!

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location
I understand the hurricane was out of their control and the unit lost power, but the lack of communication was unacceptable. I had to contact them every day and was told to wait until Tuesday at 4 p.m. for an answer about a Saturday, October 10, stay. By then, most of my vacation time was wasted. They should have offered a refund or rescheduling instead of leaving me waiting. I understand emergencies happen, but customer service matters. I will never rent from this company again.

We understand your frustration that Hurricane Isaias disrupted your vacation, and we recognize that the lack of communication added to that frustration. However, we would also like to provide some context regarding what our team was dealing with during this time.
Our staff were not only managing the effects of the hurricane on our properties and guests but were also dealing with power outages in their own homes. Our office did not have even partial power restored until four days after the hurricane made landfall. While we acknowledge that our communication did not meet your expectations, our team was working under extremely difficult circumstances while trying to assist as many affected guests as possible.
We did issue you a full refund because you were unable to check in and did not stay at the property. We understand that a refund cannot give you back the vacation time you lost, but we did make sure you were not charged for a stay you could not use.
Customer service absolutely matters to us, which is why our team continued working to respond to guests even when we did not yet have confirmed answers or a clear timeline to provide. In many cases, the only accurate information we could offer was that we needed additional time to assess the situation. We regret that your vacation was disrupted, but we stand by the efforts our team made during an exceptionally challenging time and the full refund provided for your reservation.
The house is right on the beach and is an awesome beach. It was peaceful and relaxing. My only complaints were that the primary room had stains on the sheets and the shower curtain. The balcony off the primary room had broken patio furniture, so we were unable sit outside on the balcony.
This was so much better than staying in a high rise condo and the parking right out front was a plus. We loved the view and being able to walk down the deck stairs and be on the beach. You could easily walk back to the townhouse from the beach if you forgot something or wanted lunch etc. We always got a good front spot on the beach unlike the condos near by that looked overcrowded with people and I enjoyed the less noise. Overall the place was pretty clean but the shower curtains needed to be changed out. The liner looked fine but the curtains need to be laundered after every family staying. And need some better quality pillows on the beds and maybe a nice soft topper for the mattress to make it more luxurious. Decor looked nice. Had everything we needed. I don't cook while on vacation but the kitchen looked well stocked with everything for cooking. And the walls must be well insulated because I didn't hear any of the neighbors. We had a great experience and would stay again!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the townhouse, the beautiful beach views, and the convenience of being able to walk right from the deck onto the sand. Having your own space, easy parking, and a quieter beach experience really can make a vacation extra special! We appreciate your suggestions about the shower curtains, pillows, and mattress comfort, too. Feedback like yours helps us identify those little touches that can make a stay even better. We're thrilled you had such a great experience and would love to welcome you back for another relaxing beach getaway!
Beautiful and right on the Beach! Well stocked kitchen and well kept.

Very nice and clean room. Great location. Only complaint we had was the thermostat. It was a little to warm sleeping at night.

Upon arrival we had someone parked in our assigned parking spot, I communicated with Blue Swell and they first had me just park somewhere else, well that didn’t last long when people started arriving and they all needed spots. Blue Swell informed me that we needed to contact a tow company, we did, they came, couldn’t tow them because it’s not their jurisdiction. So, here we are, not from this state, and asked to handle this situation, which I feel that Blue Swell should have handled. Later the car leaves and it’s the cleaning lady for the houses. The outdoor furniture on the balcony had broken legs, so be careful if you sit on them. Every room has a tv with 2 remotes, I wish there would have been some instructions on how to work each of them, because none of them were the same. Besides that, everything was great. Having 3 full bathrooms worked out wonderfully for us. Beds were comfortable, location was good. It’s nice to be right by the beach, but know you are right by a public beach access, so by 9:00 am, there are lots of beach space being taken by chairs and tents.

We found this condo clean, organized and great location. Blue Swell is easy to work with. A few minor things that could be addressed. The second bedroom bathroom has a pedestal sink, so there is no place to put your things other than a wire shelf next to the sink which things keep falling through. Been nice to have a vanity with drawers.Kitchen has newer cabinets and appliances which was very nice. The dining table was very wobbly at the base, it was difficult eating at it because it wobbled so much, Im sure it's just a maintenance issue. Deck is very nice with nice chairs and tableWe had a great time

Marisol, Blue Swell wants to wish you a Happy Birthday! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to having you stay with us again!
Great place and amenities were amazing. I don’t know if it was operator error or if the fridge was on its way out but the mechanism for water/ice would stay in the “open” position unless pulled on.

Loved that we were steps from the beach. Location was convenient and fairly close to everything we wanted to do. Had a couple of issues but maintenance was speedy - within hours of our request. Kitchen was stocked with lots of kitchen items and plenty of silverware, plates, etc. Loved having an upstairs balcony in one of the bedrooms.
