Very nice

Review Date: July 18, 2022

Vacation Date: June 25, 2022

"The condo looked better in person than the photos I thought. Very roomy and almost like staying in a house rather than a condo. As mentioned in other reviews, the light fixture in the kitchen is a hazard, if you are over 6 feet tall. Everything else about the condo was nice and we will probably be back. The Ft Walton beach area was new to us, we usually stay inside Destin. If you drive towards the west of Ft Walton beach, it gets a little sketchy, but we always drove east, into Destin when we wanted to eat and play. Overall, it was a very nice vacation and the whole family enjoyed themselves, no real complaints.

Response from Alicia J Hollis REALTOR:
Fort Walton Beach is a beautiful area too, and going west would have taken you to Navarre , Gulf Breeze and Pensacola, and you would have enjoyed that ride there. Surf Dweller 701 is a very large and beautiful condo with a spectacular view from all angles and the huge 2 balconies, and awesome views from up there. We hope you enjoyed the wonderful sunsets from up, and come see us again.

Condo 701 review

Review Date: June 14, 2022

Vacation Date: June 4, 2022

"Having ours on and his family was overall a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. The three bedroom makes it much easier to accommodate larger families. Myself being slightly handicapped would have felt more secure if the master bath would have had some assistance hand bars and maybe a handicapped commode but I survived so that maybe a future project to make it more handicapped accessible. Just a thought. Discovered some black mold over the two top cabinet doors above stove but as we didn't have to use them it didn't present a problem. Like I say it was overall a good stay and I only mention these things to maybe give the owners a review.

"This is the second year that our family stayed in this unit. It was a great locations with one large and one small balconies. Having beach service included in your amenities is a great plus. Very roomy, clean, well stocked kitchen and beach equipment are just some of the things that make this unit so great. I would highly recommend it to a large family. Parking on the left end was wonderful. You walked right in to the elevator and when you stepped out you were at the door to your unit. Beautiful decor and furnishings.

"My family and I loved this unit. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and we didn't feel like we were walking over each other. The views were great with the wrap around deck and my kids loved having their own private deck for hanging out in the evenings.
My only suggestion for the unit would be to place can lights in the kitchen instead of having a light fixture. Anyone over 5'10" hits their head while walking through the kitchen.
The only disappointment was there was no hot tub. What looked like a hot tub in the pictures turned out to be a baby pool.

Unbelievable View with an amazing property

Review Date: May 30, 2021

Vacation Date: May 6, 2021

"From the time we booked our trip to the check in at the Real Estate Office to walking in the door at the property the experience was perfect. This was our first time using VRBO, and I was skeptical. All of my fears were laid to rest the moment we walked in the door. There is a closet when we walked in with beach chairs, pool floats for our use. Each bedroom has a view of the ocean. My husband and I were traveling with two other friends, and my GF had her own mini master suite with her own bathroom and balcony with views. My husbands BF took the room with two twin beds and a balcony with views. In the master we had a HUGE bathroom with soaking tub, there is a massive closet where we laid out our suitcases and the big king bed was situated in the room so that we could see the gulf. A door that walked out onto the balcony adjoining the living room & dining room. Now for the amazing part.. the curtains were closed when we walked in and so we were able to take in all the comforts of this suite. Big kitchen with a long bar, full size fridge, stove, coffee maker and dishwasher & AN ICE MAKER! There is a long dining room table and we were able to invite my nephew and his wife over for a great seafood feast from Stewby's Seafood Shanty. Once the curtains were opened we had 200 degree views of the gulf and the beach. Seriously we were all blown away. The property was very clean, and better than the pictures or description. One small design decision we thought was a negative was the light fixture in the kitchen, it is a track light that hangs a little low for the two men we traveled with who were over 6' tall. They bonked their heads, but that was so minor and it didn't interfere with our amazing experience. The beds were all comfy, I asked everyone so I could accurately write this review. The towels were supplied and I knew there was a washer and dryer so I packed a couple tide pods so we could wash our stuff before we left. There are laundry baskets supplied for each guest.

Surfdweller #701 Annual October

Review Date: November 5, 2020

Vacation Date: October 1, 2020

"As a long term renter (15+ years) of 701 Surfdweller, I am pleased the owner has listened to my suggestions & spent some of our massive rental increases to upgrade this condo. This is appreciated. However, my brother from Orlando visited us & slept in the back bedroom. They said that the mattress was “lumpy” & needed to be replaced. Also that the commodore in that bathroom needs to replace the internal “guts”. The internal seal is leaking & water continually runs to fill the tank. Also the microwave door handle was broken when we checked in & needs to be replaced. Also somewhere down the line the owner needs to think about updating the kitchen cabinets. They are 1960’s vintage. Don’t get me wrong. We like the condo. These are constructive comments to make it better. Also we love the improvements the owner has made in the master bedroom.

"We’ve been going to Surf Dweller for more than 35 years. We’ve stayed in so very many condos here over the years. This 701 condo lived up to the pretty pictures and written description. We were seven adults and one infant and were very comfortable with the three bedrooms three baths and living room kitchen area. My only recommendation is to replace the sofa bed mattress. It’s springs poked my adult son that slept on it. The other beds were all comfy. It had what we needed in the kitchen for cooking, the ice maker was a nice perk too, 2 low beach chairs for our use at the waters edge were a pleasant surprise!

"We have used Hollis Reality for 3 consecutive years and we could not be more disappointed than we were this past Sept. The condo is need of repair and overall general maintenance. Condo needs to re- stocked in the Kitchen area, there were more light bulbs out than working,the furniture on the balcony is only about 2 years old and it is already rusty and falling apart(seems very cheap) the old set was in better condition, walls need to repaired where the doors that go out to the balcony, the refrigerator needs to bigger and the ice maker needs to be replaced and I'm sure the owners don't know what the condition of the condo is in. While we were there the under cabinet ice maker stopped working and with that being the only ice maker in the unit, ice was not readily accessible and took over a 5 days to get it fixed, in fact the day we checked out it was getting fixed. So after contacting Alicia and wanting some kind of compensation, she said they are not responsible for ice and the only option was that she would deliver 1 bag of ice per day for 6 people. That was the only compensation she was willing to give and in the process she was very rude and unsympathetic, I work in customer service and she has no idea what it takes to keep paying customers happy. So after this stay we will never use Hollis Reality to rent another condo or house. They lost a returning customer over ICE! Poor business decision.

Response from Alicia J Hollis REALTOR:
I have been in Customer Service since 1973 and yes, I know what I have to do to keep my customers happy. When an appliance breaks, (a/c, icemaker, stove, etc.) we act on the problem immediately. We have no control on how long a vendor will take to fix the problem. I offered a bag of ice per day, but was told that would not fill the ice cooler for the beach. Tenant wanted $100 compensation from owner and that buys a lot of ice.

"We truly enjoyed our stay at Surf Dweller and would definitely recommend this property. Condo was beautiful with extra large balcony. Living room furniture was very comfortable for everyone while watching movies. Loved the large ice maker that made adequate ice for the cooler on the beach each day. Alicia J.

Absolutely Stunning Views from Unit 701

Review Date: May 17, 2016

Vacation Date: May 5, 2016

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Surf Dweller, Unit 701. Sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset and the surf was calming and breathtaking. This unit was close to our favorite restaurant "Pandora's" and also close to restaurants in Destin. We will definitely rent this unit again.
I would recommend some attention to replacing light bulbs, batteries in the master bedroom TV remote and checking the master bathroom toilet (the tank does not fill every time).

"My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins stayed in a large vacation home in Pensacola for years. When it was destroyed by Hurricane Opal, my parents found Surf Dweller and we've stayed there ever since. Literally, every room in the condo is spacious, even the laundry room, and has either a view of the bay or the Gulf. To me, the view is most important and the balcony has more than enough room for a normal sized patio table and chairs. This is not typical for most condos these days.
