Reviewer Comments:
When we walked in, we were immediately impressed with how comfortable and luxurious everything felt. The rooms were decorated beautifully.Everything was well maintained and looked newly renovated. The second room was very roomy and very nice to have 2 Queen beds. There was so much attention to detail throughout the whole condo. We absolutely love the porch and how cozy, spacious, and comfortable it is. Our stay here was such a treat and we will keep it in mind for future visits. The only thing we had a problem with was the master shower was not cleaned properly as there were hairs and a clump of hair and sand in the bottom of the shower. There was also a lot of grime and mold around the sliding glass doors and in the grout. I think the pebble floor surface probably doesn't help with keeping it clean. If that had been cleaned properly, everything would have been perfect.We definitely recommend this condo though, as a whole. You can tell it is very loved and well kept.

Everything was perfect. It started with a well managed reservation process and ended with the easiest checkout we have ever been through. The space was perfectly clean upon our arrival and exactly as described in the listing. We will be booking next years trip soon.

The Surf Dweller is in a great location - RIGHT on the beach and halfway down the island. This unit was VERY well decorated and modern. There were even cute accessories for Fall out in the living spaces. It was near the elevator and a short walk out to the sand. We would stay again, for sure! Unfortunately, it is already booked for Fall Break of next year or we would have swooped it up again.

Our experience was amazing in Surf Dweller 508. The check in and out process was easy, communication was great and condo was clean. One of the things we enjoyed the most about this unit is the balcony furniture! Lost of room to sit and enjoy the views of the Gulf! One thing I would suggest is more pillows. The master bedroom only has 2 pillows on the bed. We would definitely come back and stay again!

We really loved our stay at 508 Surf Dweller. The deck has a nice nook with a lot of room and you can't beat the view. The rooms and the beds in the condo were large and comfortable. The condo itself is quiet and has a lovely location on the beach. The condo had everything we needed for the kitchen. We really liked the beach service umbrella and chairs so we didn't have to bring our own and set it up every day. You can't really walk to the pier or any restaurants, but driving over is pretty easy in the area.

We shop our stays each trip to the beach and were very pleased by pics and price for this unit. The experience exceeded the expectations. I would say the owners are Christian not just in word but in action. The condo feels like the owners just left for a few days rather than leaving it at a bare level to make money. The kitchen was the best outfitted I've experienced, tastefully decorated, and gracious patio with furniture to sit out and enjoy the beach experience and is where we ate dinner most nights (from Stewbys down the street, our favorite). We booked for next year. Brooks and Shorey were good to deal with as agents.

I've been staying at time shares/vacation rentals for 30 years and this is the BEST ever. The condo was immaculate. The couch on the porch was amazing. Everything - finishes to furniture - was top of the line. The exterior, however, was a little run down looking. The pool is not gulf side (but none of the resorts were so it must be a local ordinance). No hot tub which was very disappointing. But the pool was a nice size and clean. Very close to excellent restaurants (Stewby's is only 3 blocks away and so good we ate there twice in three days!). Highly recommend this condo.

The condo was very clean and very tastefully decorated. It was well stocked with everything you would need and had very nice appliances and cookware. The balcony is to die for! There was at least one nap on the balcony. The hair dryer was missing from our unit, but I called and within a few hours they brought a new one. The bed in the master was a little soft for my preference, but the view from the master suite was amazing!!! The only issue was they were having problems with the elevators and some seemed to go down daily but would be working shortly after. We had to walk down the stairs once while heading into Destin for the Dolphin Cruise on the Sea Blaster and then dinner but luckily they were working when we returned. We made a stop at Fubar for pizza and found a seafood market just over the bridge that steamed shrimp. We went there a couple of times and brought shrimp back to the condo to eat a very affordable dinner. I would definitely stay in this condo again.
