Spring Break with Grand

Overall impression of this property is overseen by realtors not concerned owners. The logistics of clean is sanitary, but the concern of details in working the locked door, the rusted legged furniture on the balcony, the stove eyes that were not connected for use were overlooked since we were people who used our ability to adapt and move on. The condo overall was good for a short stay and we made the best work for us.

Dirty floors

The location is definitely the best thing about this place. The floors were extremely dirty you had to wear shoes always. The furniture is cheap and rickety. The views from the balcony are stunning, but it is hard to get the doors to stay closed while you were out there without latching them and if you do you are locked out. Overall, it was a great stay. We had fun location makes up for many of the problems.

Perfect Getaway

The condo was great, provided everything we needed. The stove needs to be replaced. The burners were uneven so the pan tried to slide off. Also the living room balcony door wouldn’t latch when you went out on the balcony so we couldn’t use it. Luckily we could use the doors in the master bedroom to go out on the balcony. Everything else was great!

Great View and location on a dated Room

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and view was amazing. The access to the two pools was great as we came with a softball team for a tournament, so it was perfect for the kids to hang out in one and the parents in another. The location to hang on the beach was awesome with easy access and short walk to set up from condo walkway to rental chairs. We also utilized the charcoal grills to feed our softball team and families. They are very nice and kept clean by building staff in the common area too. We went in several rooms while on property being we were with our softball team and 2801 was by far the most outdated. Furniture and appliances were well loved and worn down, but we weren't expecting much beaning a beach rental. We were most disappointed in the balcony furniture to be specific. It was old plastic Adirondack chairs and half of them were cracked with no table and chairs to sit at and eat breakfast in the morning or play cards at at night. Overall the location and beach access made up for outdated room. We would comeback to Surf Side again, just pick a more updated room.

Condo building is much smaller than high rises so is much easier to navigate. One elevator. Aprox 6 condos per floor - all face beach. Convenient location to restaurants but not in the busy, noisy area - from main highway, turn right (west) to this location. We will be returning in a few months.

No idea what was sprayed on ceiling in the living room. Floors hadn’t been mopped in a while. We moped so our socks wouldn’t be ruined. However great location and plenty of room for get together and relaxing.

This condo was substandard.

This condo wasn’t very clean and VERY outdated. Their were several hazards such as outlet covers not attached to the cable wires in the living room and master bedroom. The heavy pottery lamp in the front room was on top of a plastic bookshelf with the cord hanging. This was a very dangerous set up. The refrigerator had rust on the outside and in the freezer. No hot pads in the kitchen. The tv in the master bedroom only had 2 channels so we had to buy a Roku stick to watch tv. The mattress in the middle bedroom was very uncomfortable. This condo accommodates 8 people but the dining table had 4 chairs and a broken bar stool. The balcony only had 3 chairs. The ac return grill was completely covered with dirt and dust. I wouldn’t recommend this condo at all.

Great views and location

We really liked this condo. Plenty of room for all 8 of us. The location is amazing, super close to everything. Not really close enough to walk, but just a short drive. The layout was great. Just like the pictures show, it is not updated but that’s ok. We don’t need fancy decorations. The balconies were great and super functional. Close to the elevator so easy to get things down to the beach or the car. Everything was pretty clean and orderly. There were some issues. The beds are hard and the bedding is extremely low quality, like think roadside motel bad. The oven doesn’t function very well. It burned the bottom of everything we tried to cook, almost like it got too hot. The toaster didn’t work. And there is a broken door handle on the master bedroom door. I’m also not sure the sheets were cleaned in the master bedroom prior to our arrival. They had sand in them before we used the bed at all. Other than a few issues, we were happy with this condo! Mobile check out was amazing also, keep that going!
