Fantastic view and balcony! Downside, TV service in the condo did not work. Contacted Vacasa several times, was told they would send to management to rectify for us. This NEVER happened!! We should be refunded a portion of our stay due to the troubles we had! Just want to sit down, relax and watch the news and no TV! If you use an insulin pump or anything that depends on WiFi, it is verify spotty.

Great view and roomy

The size was great, the furnishings were nice. The kitchen could use some updating. The balcony was big. End unit was close to elevators and had extra windows. Bring a heating blanket if you come in the winter, the heater needs attention. It’s definitely great for a large group.

Surf Dweller 52

We arrived a couple hours early and called to see if we could get in the unit. We were told they were not done cleaning it , we waited by the pool and never saw anyone come in or out of the unit . We never received a call that the unit was ready, we just went and used the key code when it was check in time. The elevator outside of our unit was broken the whole time, we had to walk to the other side of the complex to use the elevator. Very inconvenient and never saw anyone fixing the elevator. Unit was not as clean as we expected. Couch and pillows on the couch were so dusty they were causing allergies for our daughter. Lamp shades were dirty also. Kitchen was not clean either. Pans were put away with food still stuck on them, had to wash everything before we could use it. Have stayed at Surf Dweller lots of times in the past 25 years, but doubt we will ever go back. Seems like management doesn't care to keep it up. Definitely will not go back to this unit.

Our 4 Days at Surf Dweller

We have stayed at Surf Dweller probably 35 or more times in our 42 years of marriage. We have been in multiple different units. The entire experience was not up to the Surf Dweller we know. Vacasa would not return our text or calls about early check-in when we knew No one was there the day before. Then they start texting you the day before that your vacation has concluded be out by 10AM. The unit itself was older and needed updating, The kitchen didn’t even have a salt and pepper shaker. The kitchen was not well supplied. You are charging high prices for these units and tell people they have to buy their own toilet paper, you are only going to supply one extra roll. These things are petty. I don’t write reviews but in this instance I think you need to know the perception that people are getting from you because perception is reality.

Awesome for family vacation

We stayed a week and were very happy with the accommodations. The condo is roomy and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. I especially enjoyed the fact beach chairs and umbrella were provided, making it much easier with a 5 yr old. My only real complaint is the bathtubs could use some updating.. tubs a bit stained/dingy.. otherwise everything was perfect!

Beautiful Oceanfront

The condo was the prefect choice for my family of 3 for our first time visit to Florida. It is a huge condo on the 5th floor, most beautiful part of it is an ocean front property. We were excited for blue ocean water but we must have came in on see weed season since we only got blue water the day we arrived. The property does come with 2 beach chairs and an umbrella to use while on the beach. Only downside I would said is the beds are NOT comfortable at all so be prepared for that and elevator is conveniently placed outside your door but be prepared for it to be hot while in it as there is no air conditioning. 8/10 stay would recommend.

Great Location, Space & Beach

We loved the location of this place. It’s an end unit which was nice and it’s away from all the hustle and bustle which was great for our family. The actual unit was large and spacious - we loved the layout. My only negatives were the beds and showers. The beds weren’t very comfortable, but plenty of extra blankets and pillows were provided which helped. The showers water pressure was very light and didn’t drain well. If you have little kids, a couple things to note: 1) if you have a rainy day, be prepared that there isn’t much for them to do in the unit. I think there was only 1 or 2 kid friendly board games - I recommend bringing some rainy day activities. 2) there are no plastic cups, only glass. Property was very clean. Outside showers, chairs and umbrella were great! Beaches were safe, clean, and well looked after. Communication and check in was by far the easiest, most efficient, and most helpful of anywhere we have ever stayed. They addresses any concerns or questions I had. Would definitely book a property with them again.

Nice corner rental

This rental is a corner unit so there are windows down the side which added lots of daylight instead of just a balcony door like most other rentals have. It was very clean. The only thing missing is the large balcony only had a table with plastic chairs. There needed to be lounge chairs to relax on.

The property was nice. Response to a couple of concerns was quick.

We understand that things break and need repair but, we were disappointed by the fact that the pool was closed 2 full days of our stay. Also had several issues with the elevator at the west end of the building. We notified property management but never saw any repair people on site. One time the elevator didn't move for so long that we actually hit the emergency call button. This was very distressing since someone in our party couldn't do steps.

Needs Updating

We have stayed at Surf Dweller for 10 years but this first time in this unit. It was very dated and full of garage sale type furniture. I enjoy a firm bed but this was just hard. We enjoy sitting on the balcony in the mornings however the lack of anything but a couple of cheap plastic chairs made it not enjoyable. We love the complex but will not return to this unit. The managing company Vacasa was womderful to work with.

Beautiful place and good location

This place itself was perfect for us. However, the cleaning folks were NOT doing their job. I had to clean the bathroom when we walked in. Dirty washcloth left in the shower, dirty toilet, and hair everywhere. I immediately called and let them know but I had come prepared and cleaned it after taking pictures. Vacasa did deduct $150 from the cleaning fee, so that was nice. Maybe the cleaning Folks will decide cleaning a bathroom is sort of a big deal. Maybe they will also decide to dust and, possibly, move things when they wipe the kitchen counter. Overall, the place itself was perfect. The cleanliness was definitely not. Nothing like Showing up the first day and having to immediately clean after you had received an email that there would be no early check in due to the need for extra time To clean and space out between guests. Not sure what the extra cleaning was. They sort of missed the basic stuff.
