The condo’s location was perfect! It had a large balcony with direct beautiful view of the ocean! Very clean unit and the kitchen had EVERYTHING and every appliance (even an air fryer) you needed! Extremely comfortable furniture. They had two couches that both reclined, with electric controls. Most condos have stiff, uncomfortable furniture, but this was perfect for our family to be able to relax in the evening and watch a movie together. Absolutely amazing place. We truly enjoyed our stay and had a great family vacation!

202 Surf Dweller was perfect for our vacation needs. Stayed with 5 adults and 2 kids under the age of 5 and this condo was a perfect fit for us. Breathtaking view from the spacious 2nd floor balcony. Up to date condo that had ample space and was laid out perfectly. Short walk to the beach where there was always a set of chairs waiting for us right next to the water. Will definitely be booking this condo again for our family!

Very nice updated condo! Large bedrooms with ample closet space. Very nice large balcony with nice furniture.Had no problem finding a parking space in the evening. We were suppose to have ALEXA installed, but it was not there. Be aware that the living room does not have any privacy blinds installed! Overall, we will rent this unit again!

Reviewer Comments:
Everything about our vacation was awesome! The condo, the beach, the beach attendant guys, the pool, and the surrounding community. We had a large group of family and friends staying in 3 different condos at Surf Dweller. We all loved how the building was so close and accessible to the beach, unlike the buildings in Orange Beach. My specific room (202) was incredibly beautiful! The beds, furniture, appliances, and bathrooms were very nice. We didn’t watch much TV, but our beloved LSU Tigers were playing in the baseball College World Series while we were and we got to watch them win a national championship on an awesome large screen television! We will be back and I will be booking 202! The only downside to our trip was the amount of traffic from Mobile to Fort Walton on our way to our stay and that our room wasn’t ready until almost 6 pm on the day of arrival. Nothing can be done about the traffic, but if rooms could be ready sooner, we could leave earlier and possibly avoid peak times of traffic.
