We had a really good experience , I loved the view
The weather was nice. The condo was pleasant but could use a few fans, some new outdoor furniture and some of the plugins didnât work. Location and size of condo was good. Overall we had a good time.

We enjoyed our stay. Nice condo loved the view!! Needed some minor repairs. But over all would stay again
We love Okaloosa Island. the condo was nice with a few love dings here and there. Overall cozy and comfortable! The beds were comfortable! . But there is no beach chairs or umbrella for use daily. There are a few in the room but not beach service. So itâs kinda a hassle to have to carry chairs down every day. The tv in the second room had NO tv access to anything to watch. But we got in touch with the management and they supplied us with a fire stick to use during our stay. The dryer could use a massive update! Itâs horrible!! They have tall balcony chairs to overlook the beautiful water this is a bonus! Out of all the codes we were giving NONE of them worked except to our room. With no way to get in touch with the host after hours we had to trust in other patrons to allow us access to the areas like the pool, beach, pool bathrooms, gym, and tennis court. But we managed. Overall we had a great stay and would stay again. :-)
Everything was very good
I would come back next year except for one problem
only 1 parking pass allowed there and when you have your family with you that's very inconvenient so I won't be looking to come back next year

Location was great the condo itself needs some attention. For the most part enjoyable. Needs new pots and pans. Dryer needs some attention. TV in second room needs hooked up???

We stayed in 609 for 3 months. We enjoyed it very much. The colors are beautiful and the new master bathroom is wonderful. Also our guests loved the extra door to the second bedroom. Said it felt like having their own suite. Please, please hang the medicine cabinet thatâs in the master closet in the master bathroom
I feel like the Surf Dweller condominium was very family friendly. It wasnât overly crowded in our area! Very short distance from boardwalk to the beach, which is perfect!! I feel like it was odd that the pool is in front of the condos, instead of the back where you can have a beach view while in the pool, but in the grand scheme of things, that wasnât an issue. Our unit could probably use some updating, and carpet in a condo these days also seems odd to me, but maybe thatâs just me! I would recommend this condominium to my friends/family.

We have been dealing with Alicia Hollis realty for about 20 years, sometimes 2-3 times per year. They have always been very helpful and have performed above and beyond expectations. Chris, has been very friendly to us, and has contacted us occasionally when a rental opportunity has become available that she knows might interest us. We appreciate dealing with a person who takes the time and interest to know their clients and what they are looking for in a rental.
Upon entering, there was a musty smell. Could use some updated appliances/furnishings. Seemed clean enough when we unpacked midday. Then we returned from supper that night, turned on the lights and roaches were all over the kitchen! Very sickening. And thatâs very upsetting because the location is great. Beach access is awesome as well. I did send an email to the rental company inquiring about a few concerns (no paper towels or dish soap provided) and they never responded. Not having the items was not a big deal, would have just like to have known before arrival.
This location right on the beach was great. The condo was very clean. The king bed was very comfortable. A few negatives, the dishwasher was gross and rusty on the inside. So I hand washed all the dishes. The one shower head was pretty clogged and didnât spray well. One side of the kitchen countertop had sagged a few inches lower than itâs original location. This was very noticeable and just looked like some maintenance had been ignored.
Overall I would give this place a good rating. The location was right on the beach which is what I really wanted. The balcony overlooking the beach was large. The place was very clean. It had several beds so my teenage kids didnât have to sleep together.
This property was exactly what we needed. The location was perfect, it was very clean and spacious. The balcony view was amazing! Rental company (Austin) was very helpful. We will be going back again.

We stayed at Surf Dweller through Alicia Hollis last year and had no problem but year was different. We had booked Surf Dweller 102 this year specifically because it was on the 1st floor. When we arrived 5/13/2023, we did what we always do when checking in to a motel or condo, we checked for bugs before we brought anything in. One of the beds in the guest room had a dead bug between the egg carton mattresses on the bed. It looked like a bed bug to me, but my daughter reverse image searched and she thought it looked like a cockroach nymph. We also found a live cockroach crawling on the headboard of the bed in the main bedroom. There were dead cockroaches along the baseboards and live cockroaches behind the refrigerator. We called the after-hours number and the young man on-call was very responsive and had us in a new condo (609) within 30 minutes. He advised that staff from the office would call us Monday to discuss the issues with 102. He was really the best thing about our interactions with Alicia Hollis Rental staff. Condo 609 was bug free and was where we ended up staying all week. The condo is out dated (except for the main bathroom which looked to be newly renovated) and could have used a paint job and the carpet cleaned. However, fancy isn't our main concern so it was fine. Everything worked as it should and above all, it was clean and bug free. Back to the situation with 102. No one from Alicia Hollis Rental company ever called us after we were moved. When I dropped off the key on 5/20/23 I asked why no one had contacted us and was told that the staff member and the owner inspected 102 and there were no bugs. When asked about the bug on the bed, she said, "that was just an old dried up thing." She continued to insist that there were no bugs in the property. We had pictures we emailed her confirming the presence of bugs, but we received no response from that email. I wish I could post pictures here.

We rented Surf Dweller -Unit 609. The unit was very clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable as well. I loved the sliding doors to the porch off the master bedroom. The bathrooms were clean and had lots of storage space. The kitchen had everything we needed. This unit could use a little updating, but was wonderful.
Everything was as advertised. The unit is dated, but youâre there for the beachfront anyway. The kitchen could be a bit better equipped. Overall good place.

We did not have a tv remote in master bedroom.Beds in guest room had either been broken and tried to be fixed , but they were not level. Alot of issues with previous renters.Chris from office called and told me about them and the maintenance person came and looked at all the issues and wrote them down. I really appreciate that. Our grandson and his family were in this condo.The master bedroom ac doesnt have good air flow , the room stays really hot in there. It needs to looked at . All the vents need to be cleaned out.

We loved this condo ... Surf Dweller 609! We originally had booked with a different condo, but 100% glad how the cards played out and that we got moved! The balcony at this condo was our favorite hangout spot! The condo is so BIG and great for 2 families!
Spacious, comfortable, great view and access to beach

The location was close to the beach and a great mid point between the end of the island and the pier. Beach was clean. If weather was not good for the gulf - the pool was a great option to hang out. Another review mentioned the carpet was dirty and had stains. Would concur on that - but overall the condo was clean.
