Beach Vacation with our family

The property was in a good location for us. We liked the bottom unit with just steps to the beach. It was well equipped there with enough bedding and space for our family as well. Great location and had all the home necessities and kitchen had everything needed. We enjoyed quality family time on the beachfront condo

Another relaxing and fun vacation at Surf Dweller 103

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time we have stayed in SD 103, and it was just as good as the first. The beach outside the door, the amenities, and living space were perfect. I was able to do a bit of surf fishing, and actually caught a few fish! Sitting on the patio at any time is so nice. Got to see an F35 fly over the beach one morning. The dunes are packed with life. Lizards, crabs, dragonflies, and other life was always present. The kids caught a couple of the lizards and really had a great time hunting them down in the pool area, which was always clean and well maintained.We did a bit of shopping with groceries, beach gear, etc. all within 5 minutes drive. Visited the pier and The Boardwalk, pontoon to crab island, Gulf fishing, and a couple rounds of parasailing, with everything being within 20 minutes of the Surf Dweller. You can't beat the location.Dining out wasn't a big thing this time around, but we got some food from Manatees Tiki Bar, right next door. It was pretty good, and only a two minute walk. We also grabbed a bite to eat at The Gulf, just under the bridge. It was a walk up counter with plenty of seating. The coconut grouper bites are very, very good.The Alicia Hollis team has been great when it comes to providing an awesome place to stay, in my favorite place in the world. I have, and will continue to recommend Alicia Hollis and the Surf Dweller to people.

A great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was a little aged but that didn't cause any issues as it was very clean, view from patio was amazing, and management was quick to replace broken tv. The parking at the location is on the tight side so as long as you have a car you wouldn't have any issues, but full-size trucks and SUVs would be a challenge. Overall, a great place to stay.

Great stay on the beach front

Easy access to the beach right out your back door. Very short board walk to the sand. Really enjoyed having our own hose to wash off right outside our back door. Plenty of space and kitchen was well equipped. No issues. Wish we didn’t have to go by the realty office to check in but that’s a very minor inconvenience. Would stay here again.

Great spot on the water

The property was clean and perfect for our needs. Definitely could be updated but for the price I ain't mad at it. Only complaint was with the property itself in that there were several unsupervised children in the pool and very noisy neighbors beside us and banging upstairs but that was just the luck of the draw. Overall the place is quiet and not beach pristine and not too crowded. Will be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, perfect view of the beach. Unit needs updating, but not a big deal. Clean except for items left by someone before us under the bed. I always check under the beds to make sure we don't leave anything and that is when I found a few items. Need to make sure cleaners do a better job. Free beach service was a plus. We would rent this unit again.

Spacious Unit Right On The Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were unsure about a first floor unit, but this turned out to be great! Still can see the water, and no stairs or elevators. That was ideal for lugging beach toys and fishing rods back and forth. Very large patio with convenient sand shower, and the interior is roomy more like a house than a hotel. We used the pool and even played a little night tennis under the lights. Exceptionally quiet and a far less crowded area of the beach than other units nearby. Having the umbrella service at no extra charge is an awesome perk! Check-in and check out is right down the street and super easy after-hours. Parking is a little tight but manageable. Overall an excellent choice!

Nice but very dated

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place since it was located on the beach. We stayed on the first floor which was also convenient. This unit is overdue for an upgrade! It looks like something from the 1970’s. The appliances are scarce & most didn’t even work! The mattresses were ancient with grooves where they had been slept in repeatedly (yuck). It wasn’t very clean either. I wouldn’t recommend this unit.

Awesome vacation!

The Surf Dweller is the perfect location for done time at the beach. A few feet out the door and you are standing on the white sand, with the blue green surf breaking. The location is perfect for a family seeking some non beach fun, with plenty to do in the area. We will definitely be back.

Easy beach access with some 80s nostalgia

This place was very spacey for 7 people and it had easy beach access. It had washer and dryer which helps with a bunch of kids. Kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook all of our meals at home. They could use some updating with the decor and furniture unless you’re looking for something beachy in the 80s! Who knows that may be your thing!

Great family vacation spot!

This condo is very spacious and in a great location. The pictures are very accurate. I prefer a better view of the beach and water, but the parents of the littles loved the convenience of walking straight off the balcony to the boardwalk. Make sure to bring everything you need. A couple of dishwashing packets, bath soap, and toilet tissue were the only necessities when we arrived.

Great experience

If you are looking for a swanky condo that has been newly updated, this is not the condo. However, if you are looking for a very clean, comfortable condo for the whole family, you should book this one. We are a bit crazy when it comes to bed bugs and before we take anything in a hotel or condo, we do a thorough search. We take off mattress covers and pillow cases, use a flashlight and check baseboards and headboard and generally look like crazy people. We always find random hairs, lint, etc, but not here. Seriously, super clean. It is right on the beach, literally a 2 minute walk, you can see the flag from the patio. The ceiling and maybe walls are concrete so you don't hear your neighbors and they don't hear you. The pool is great and well maintained and there is a kiddie pool too. My daughter's hit the gym every day and while small, it was fine. There is a pull out bed in the second bedroom. It wasn't comfy per my 21 yo so she slept on the couch, which she said was comfy. A 10 year old wouldn't have had a problem with the pull out bed.....they can sleep on anything and be comfy. There is a great view from the back of the condo but the sliding patio doors are super heavy. A little kid definitely couldn't open them, which is probably not a bad thing since it is ground level. Speaking of ground level, while you don't get the great view the higher floors offer, it is so convenient not waiting for the elevator to take up bags, groceries or beach stuff, that we will be looking for 1st floor condos from now on.

Great family condo to stay at

Overall, condo unit needs updating and repairs. But spacious with large patio. Easy access to unit and beach. Smart tvs were amazing and great for kids. Plenty of towels and cabinet space. Public restrooms at condo lacked soap. Wallpaper peeling in bathrooms No recycling Great that beach chairs were included, but bc not reserved under a name you tend get chairs on the very end of the rows. Very nice quiet and uncrowded part of the beach. Especially as we walked around. We are very glad to have found this unit overall
