The place is in need of being renovated. The bathroom needs more counter space, handles to grab on to in the bathtub, updated plumbing fixtures, and a new bathtub. The place needs to be leveled. The floors and countertops are not level. The items that were provided to sweep the floors left a lot to be desired. The bed and the towels were very nice. The ocean view was outstanding!

We’re glad you enjoyed the outstanding ocean view, Myra, along with the comfortable bed and quality towels. These are a 979 signature touch we love to give our guests, and we appreciate you noting. This unit offers direct beachfront accommodations at a budget-friendly price point, allowing guests to enjoy the beachfront experience at a more accessible rate. While updates and improvements are always worth considering, they must also be balanced with maintaining that affordability. We appreciate your suggestions and will be sure to share them with the unit's owner for their consideration. Thank you for allowing us to host your island stay!

Clean , comfortable, inexpensive and no frills. It is not a 5 star but it has everything you need for a beach vacation. On the beach is the best feature. The bed is comfortable and the AC works very well. The only negative is that the water stinks. I will assume it is a Surfside water issue. Other than the odor, showering leaves one clean and refreshed. I would stay here again.

We’re so glad you found the condo unit clean, comfortable, affordable, and equipped with everything you needed for a beach getaway. And yes, being right on the beach is definitely hard to beat! We’re sorry the water odor was a negative during your stay. Surfside’s water can occasionally have a noticeable sulfur-like odor, particularly during the warmer months. While it certainly isn’t the most glamorous part of coastal living, the water is treated and safe for bathing, and as you mentioned, it still gets the job done! We really appreciate you understanding that this is a comfortable, no-frills beach stay rather than a luxury resort, and we’d be happy to have you back for another dose of sand, sun, and Gulf air!

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 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.

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.

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

Great Location

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).
