The view was great, everything we needed there, and it was very clean... Location was GREAT. With that Climbing the extra stairs were hard on us we are in out 70s. Parking was tight for 6 cars. When we stay again it will be one of the 3 spots on the first level. We did have an issue and called they came right away and solved all issues. That was great.

Thank you for noting the amazing view, we agree, and the unit's cleanliness Connie! We do our best. As for the stairs, we certainly do get in our workouts around here with everything on stilts. Beachfront home parking is limited, we're sorry you had to do the squeeze. We'd love to have you back (and we'll have one on the lower level waiting for you)!
The location was great but condo needed a little maintenance. The shower knob was very loose and almost coming off. Towel rack was broken and shower curtain liner needed to be replaced. Parking was not ideal. For 7 condos, there were not enough spots.Excellent ocean view though Was a good quick trip !
The place was cool when we got there which is a big plus for me. Right on the beach! The place looks just like the photos.It was perfect for my Lil group. There is a bar/restaurant just a few houses down with good food. I will tent again.I love that I can stay on the beach all day and my can be upstairs watching me. He works outside all day so him relaxing while relaxed was perfect. Oh and the ocean view!!!! Huh beautiful.The beach water was clear/yellow green then far out it looks blue.

Love the photo memories captured Roxanne, wow! Thank you for the compliments and such helpful tips for future guests. We would be delighted to host you again!
It was a wonderful and peaceful stay we enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra day. The property management team helped quickly to get situated for that extra night. Great view of the ocean as well, it’s right on the beach so it was so easy to walk downstairs directly to it.

We're thrilled you had nothing short of a 5-star beachside experience and even stayed an extra day, Julie! Thank you for allowing us to host you, and we hope to have you back again for some more island time!
Cute place, just what we needed for a weekend getaway! We walked or drove to get coffee and food, though we could have cooked there. It rained all weekend but we still played in the waves and relaxed on the deck.

The location and communication were excellent! I had locked us out, and they were quick to respond. The condo on the other hand needs some TLC to the deck since I almost fell through a rotted board and some of them aren’t even nailed down anymore. The water is brown and smells very bad! It may be because it’s on the coast, not sure but it was awful! There was also a bug crawling on the bed and I freaked out but checked the place over and didn’t see anymore. Oh, and the whole placed rocked every-time the neighbors or anyone moved around and caused the bedroom door to make noise, lol.

We're so glad our beachfront location and responsive crew were highlights, even if your vacation included an unexpected lockout adventure. We're always happy to help get guests back to enjoying the beach.
We appreciate you bringing the deck boards to our attention. Living directly on the Gulf means salt air, humidity, UV, and storms keep us on our toes. The owner of this building has already addressed the boards you mentioned. Safety is always our top priority.
As for the water, that's the municipal water throughout Surfside Beach. It does have naturally occurring minerals that can give it a different color and aroma than guests may be accustomed to. Coastal living certainly has its own personality!
The occasional adventurous bug can also wander indoors despite our regular professional pest control, especially in a beachfront environment. And yes, homes on stilts near the water have a little more "sea legs" than a typical house. A gentle sway during heavy footsteps or strong coastal winds is actually part of their engineering, though we agree the chatty bedroom door could be a bit more discreet.
We're glad you enjoyed the location and our communication. We hope you'll visit again for another dose of beach life, complete with the best parts of the coast and a few fewer surprises
The beach access is as promised. We enjoyed the peace of the beach and proximity to beachfront dining and drinks.

Thanks so much, Peter! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the peaceful beach vibes and the easy stroll to seaside bites and drinks—can’t beat that salty breeze and no-drive-needed kind of day!
We noticed the 8 out of 10 and really appreciate you taking the time to share. If there’s ever anything we can do to turn that into a perfect 10, we’re all ears!
Fantastic property! Had everything we needed and amazing location on the beach. Property managers were very responsive to issues and provided mitigations and corrections immediately. HIGHLY recommend this location.

Why thank you so much, it was an absolute pleasure to host your beachside stay, Beth! We appreciate the compliments and would love to have you back again.
Me and my wife had a lovely stay at this beautiful property, right on the beach also not a very far walk to a nice little restaurant that had live music. Would definitely stay there again the next time we’re back in Texas.

We would love to host you and your wife again, Gerard! We're thrilled to hear you experience was nothing short of beachside lovely. Thank you for allowing us to host your island stay!
Overall, this was a great location right on the beach. The water in the unit had a foul odor and the kitchen lacked some basic needs like a big skillet. Other than that it was perfect.

Thank you for allowing us to host your beachside stay and glad you loved the location and experience! The Village of Surfside's water is unfortunately can sometimes not the best smelling and not in our control, but it's a trade for being on the island. Thanks again!
Really enjoyed the view and the accommodations. Being able to walk out to the beach is priceless. The items in the kitchen were useful. Thank you for the basket of extra items and having sugar and coffee filters. Please add 4 hooks to the bathroom since we can't put wet towels on the floor. And the towel bar provided is loose. There was also a chair on the deck that is broken (Not by us).

We're so glad you enjoyed this direct beachside location and appreciated the goodie basket, Megan! Thank you for the compliments and feedback. We will check out that towel rack and possibly look at alternatives for towel hanging. Sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate the heads up. We hope to host you again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Great location but unit was not like the photos online. The kitchen was old and the cabinet doors were falling off the hinges. I wouldn't think of using the oven or stove, which had burners that were impossible to get placed into a position where you could set a pot or pan level. The bathroom was old, the bathtub had rust and shower head was terrible. The bed was clean and very comfortable, but the rest of the unit was substandard. There was a rotted plank on the front porch that someone could step through and get hurt if not careful. It was in a great location on the beach but it was not worth the price. I will not be staying there again. Sorry.

Thank you for allowing us to host you, Mary. We're very sorry to hear that the unit didn’t meet your expectations. While we’re glad you enjoyed the unbeatable beachfront location (and all that comes with it, sun, salt, sand, sea breezes, and as a result, rust) and found the bed comfortable, we understand your concerns about the condition of the kitchen, bathroom, and porch. This is one of our more budget-friendly beachfront options, and while it offers direct beach access at a lower price point, we know that also comes with trade-offs in terms of updates and finishes. That said, your safety and comfort are always a priority—we’ve flagged the porch plank and kitchen cabinet issues for immediate attention and also communication with this home's owner.
