Fun family vacation!

We loved the location- the closest we have ever been in all the years of beach vacations. There were four adults and two children-one that was two years old. The balcony railing was our only concern. The maintenance manager came and put up plastic fencing to help secure the railing for our stay at this location until it can be properly repaired. Otherwise than that we were very pleased with our stay.

Cute and Cozy

The property is steps away from the beach. At first it seemed small, but it grew on us during the week. The first bedroom closest to the street isn’t the greatest with sound. The trash truck came promptly at 5am every morning, and woke me up, while emptying the bin.

Overall it was a good experience. The doors to the balcony from the master bedroom would not open and the door fell off from the utility closet where the washer and dryer are. We called and reported it and no one ever came to fix those things

Great spot!!!

This was our first time to the golf Shores, and we are so excited we chose this place! It is right on the ocean, and there is so much to do everywhere. You can walk the beach, walk the strip with all the stores, go to restaurants, just explore wildlife. We had a great spring break here with our family.

Rest and recharge

Everything went smoothly checking in…had an issue with a balcony door, we called and maintenance was there the next morning to fix it for us. We had no other issues throughout the week. Would’ve been nice to have more sunshine but we did get plenty of much needed rest. Enjoyed our stay immensely…. Great location!

Nice Condo

The condo it’s self was great, could have been a little cleaner, there was onion peels in the sink, food in the refrigerator, a pile of sand behind the recliner by the balcony doors and the tub in the master bathroom was dirty, when we pulled the coffee maker, (no keurig) out to used it, they hadn’t cleaned the cabinet under it. They A/C works great in the whole condo except the master bedroom.

Overall a good condo

Had a few complaints. No keurig Outside patio door was locked -all condos in the past the door has been open with chairs, beach supplies etc Refrigerator door handle was missing. It had a sharp edge and my grandkids were with us so I put tape on it. I called the mgmt co and they maybe by end of week they could have one. However there was a review posted in 2018 that also mentioned the handle missing.

Amazing week

Our family had a great week at the beach and many thanks to this condo complex/unit. This is the 3rd year we have stayed at this complex and cant recommend it enough. The unit itself perfectly fit all of our needs. The only minor inconvenience was the internet/wifi reception is spotty. Would gladly stay here again!

This condo has both good and bad features. The location of the balcony is amazing!

This condo has some great features and some not so great features. The balcony location is amazing. You are very close to the water. It’s absolutely beautiful! A few of the railing pieces are loose and need repaired. The oceanfront ensuite is quite cramped with little storage. The king suite is very spacious and nice. The cooking pans and utensils need to be replaced. It is well stocked. But I recommend bringing a skillet and cooking utensils. Each bathroom had four towels and four washcloths. All in all the condo was just ok. For the price we paid I feel like some nicer pans could be added. The condo was clean but definitely not spotless. Everyone we dealt with at the management company was really nice. We called because I woke up with tiny ants on me. They were very nice and said they would send someone to spray, however no one ever came. I’m sure they’re probably short handed like everyone else right now.

WiFi was a disaster. Took 2 visits from technicians to get us some type of signal, still wasn’t the best. Then was told it was an old building with thick walls. So if WiFi isn’t a requirement for, it’s an option for you.

Lovely!

We stayed at Surf Side Shores for several weeks as snowbirds and would stay again. The location was convenient for restaurants and shopping and was directly on the beautiful beach. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the balcony watching the fishermen, beach walkers and children playing on the beach. The heated pool was enjoyable. The condo's beach theme decorating was very nice. Beds were comfortable and towels and linens very nice. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. The self closing cabinetry and granite tops were top notch. We contacted the management company, Poole & Assocs, and they were quick to cheerfully resolve issues. Nothing leads to a great nights sleep more than falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the beach outside our bedroom. We would love to stay there again.
