Surf Dweller

I feel like the Surf Dweller condominium was very family friendly. It wasn’t overly crowded in our area! Very short distance from boardwalk to the beach, which is perfect!! I feel like it was odd that the pool is in front of the condos, instead of the back where you can have a beach view while in the pool, but in the grand scheme of things, that wasn’t an issue. Our unit could probably use some updating, and carpet in a condo these days also seems odd to me, but maybe that’s just me! I would recommend this condominium to my friends/family.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been dealing with Alicia Hollis realty for about 20 years, sometimes 2-3 times per year. They have always been very helpful and have performed above and beyond expectations. Chris, has been very friendly to us, and has contacted us occasionally when a rental opportunity has become available that she knows might interest us. We appreciate dealing with a person who takes the time and interest to know their clients and what they are looking for in a rental.

Great location!!

This location right on the beach was great. The condo was very clean. The king bed was very comfortable. A few negatives, the dishwasher was gross and rusty on the inside. So I hand washed all the dishes. The one shower head was pretty clogged and didn’t spray well. One side of the kitchen countertop had sagged a few inches lower than it’s original location. This was very noticeable and just looked like some maintenance had been ignored. Overall I would give this place a good rating. The location was right on the beach which is what I really wanted. The balcony overlooking the beach was large. The place was very clean. It had several beds so my teenage kids didn’t have to sleep together.

Disappointed

Upon entering, there was a musty smell. Could use some updated appliances/furnishings. Seemed clean enough when we unpacked midday. Then we returned from supper that night, turned on the lights and roaches were all over the kitchen! Very sickening. And that’s very upsetting because the location is great. Beach access is awesome as well. I did send an email to the rental company inquiring about a few concerns (no paper towels or dish soap provided) and they never responded. Not having the items was not a big deal, would have just like to have known before arrival.

Beautiful view of emerald waters!

We love Okaloosa Island. the condo was nice with a few love dings here and there. Overall cozy and comfortable! The beds were comfortable! . But there is no beach chairs or umbrella for use daily. There are a few in the room but not beach service. So it’s kinda a hassle to have to carry chairs down every day. The tv in the second room had NO tv access to anything to watch. But we got in touch with the management and they supplied us with a fire stick to use during our stay. The dryer could use a massive update! It’s horrible!! They have tall balcony chairs to overlook the beautiful water this is a bonus! Out of all the codes we were giving NONE of them worked except to our room. With no way to get in touch with the host after hours we had to trust in other patrons to allow us access to the areas like the pool, beach, pool bathrooms, gym, and tennis court. But we managed. Overall we had a great stay and would stay again. :-)

609 is fine, but rental company is problematic

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Surf Dweller through Alicia Hollis last year and had no problem but year was different. We had booked Surf Dweller 102 this year specifically because it was on the 1st floor. When we arrived 5/13/2023, we did what we always do when checking in to a motel or condo, we checked for bugs before we brought anything in. One of the beds in the guest room had a dead bug between the egg carton mattresses on the bed. It looked like a bed bug to me, but my daughter reverse image searched and she thought it looked like a cockroach nymph. We also found a live cockroach crawling on the headboard of the bed in the main bedroom. There were dead cockroaches along the baseboards and live cockroaches behind the refrigerator. We called the after-hours number and the young man on-call was very responsive and had us in a new condo (609) within 30 minutes. He advised that staff from the office would call us Monday to discuss the issues with 102. He was really the best thing about our interactions with Alicia Hollis Rental staff. Condo 609 was bug free and was where we ended up staying all week. The condo is out dated (except for the main bathroom which looked to be newly renovated) and could have used a paint job and the carpet cleaned. However, fancy isn't our main concern so it was fine. Everything worked as it should and above all, it was clean and bug free. Back to the situation with 102. No one from Alicia Hollis Rental company ever called us after we were moved. When I dropped off the key on 5/20/23 I asked why no one had contacted us and was told that the staff member and the owner inspected 102 and there were no bugs. When asked about the bug on the bed, she said, "that was just an old dried up thing." She continued to insist that there were no bugs in the property. We had pictures we emailed her confirming the presence of bugs, but we received no response from that email. I wish I could post pictures here.
