It worked but I struggles to get to the temperature that was comfortable. Definitely would recommend the unit.

One of the best yet!

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: Definitely one of the best units I have booked. The patio furniture was great and much more relaxing. Many of us went out on the balcony to relax and listen to ocean and fell asleep. The patio furniture was a huge plus. My son immediately walked in and said this unit was better than the one we booked last year. The unit was clean, plenty of towels, and big enough for my family and I. I loved the app which had a lot of info and made check in/out easy and no stopping at an office. Everyone I spoke to in the office was so nice prior to our arrival. The only suggestions I would make is to not have white bedding and towels for many reasons I would personally choose another color, a pair of scissors which I did not see, and a small basket for when doing laundry which most other units have had. We definitely will be booking this unit again in the future as we all really enjoyed this unit!As for the building itself we have always enjoyed SD as it’s always seemed less crowded (smaller complex), pool, tennis, ocean view from living room and master with big/long balcony, the complex is always quiet at night and it is not over populated on the beach. Down side is when you have a larger suv the parking lot is a little tight in my opinion.

Girls trip

We loved all the extras for the beach and the fully stocked kitchen. The toaster oven and the keurig were not working and some of the bedroom plugs did not. There was plenty of seating. The beach attendant was very nice and helpful. The beds were very comfortable. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend.

Exceptional stay

Property was just as described. Spotless and well provisioned. The view was gorgeous whether you were inside or the balcony. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony. There was a comfortable couch and chairs. The location was perfect, less than 2 miles to great restaurants and to a Publix. Check in was via email where you were given a door entry code. Wonderful, no card entry! Checkout was via in-room ECHO. I highly recommend this property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Surf Dweller is a great building with wonderful balcony views right on the ocean. We have stayed at multiple rooms in this building. This particular unit does need some updating. There is no closet in the master bedroom as listed in the unit description ...a bit odd! The kitchen is fairly well stocked however it needs some sharp knives and large skillets!! Having beach service is a plus and Devan is absolutely wonderful!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in 402. It was clean and nicely set up. The whole complex was well kept and quiet. One thing we appreciated over other condos we have stayed at was the quiet. We did not hear any noise from outside our unit. The only complaint I have is the cleaning people came at 8:30 am. Checkout time said 10 am but they were early. We were not ready to go so they waited outside the door until we left.

Won't book again

Got there- had to contact assistance, we had no power. Power issue was that the main breaker was turned off. We waited outside of the unit for 45 mins waiting on maintenance. Obviously the unit was not checked before we check-in or in the last several days. 2 hours later, AC isn't working . Call for maintenance again-says he can't repair it have to wait. Someone comes out at 11 the next morning to tell us he wasn't going to chance repairing it. The property manager finally decided that they would have another unit available. I do believe that this could have been done the 1st night. Condo is in need of things being fixed. Not the same experience that I had at this unit 2 years ago. Very disappointing.
