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

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.
Pros: parking was easy, beach access was simple from our patio, the beach wasn't crowded, the condo was quiet, very affordable.Cons: the condo was dated and the beds were not comfortable. Thats about it. No major complaints and would probably stay there again.

Excellent location right on the beach. Needs some updating but spacious and comfortable. Good value.
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 LOCATION, GREAT VIEW, EASY BEACH ACCESS, HAD A GREAT TIME. WONDERFUL PLACE TO GO RELAX AND REFRESH. THE PEOPLE AT HOLLIS ARE ALWAYS HELPFUL. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
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.

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.

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!

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

WE HAVE ENJOYED OUR STAY VERY MUCH, HOLLIS AND CHRIS ARE EASY TON WORK WITH,
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
Enjoyed our stay at this location, The condo was very roomy beds were comfortable and clean kitchen had pots and pans silverware etc. Our patio was maybe less than a minute to walk to the beach , there’s a hose on our patio to hose off your feet and anything you take to the beach . we really enjoyed our stay, beach location was family friendly we had beach service which provided two chairs and an umbrella which was awesome! I would recommend this condo
Overall the unit was perfect for what we needed. The bathrooms could use to be updated a little. There was work being done on the building which took away parking spaces which was critical while we we there. Had to make my own space where there were none a few nights and we only used 1 of our 2 allotted spaces all week. The pool was closed by the city inspector for a day for some reason. I would look at one of these again next time.
When we arrived and opened the door, it was not what I expected. I was in total shock, the condo was very clean and so spacious. Furniture was very nice and comfortable, nothing was outdated as I had seen in some reviews. Also, for the week of July 4th, the beach wasn’t overcrowded at all. It was always peaceful and about a 1 minute walk and your in the sand. Cooking was nicer as you were able to see the ocean from there. Listing was on point. My family and I will definitely stay there again if we visit the area.
