403 - Surf Beach Resort

5.0/5 stars

There are pros and cons to every place so let me start with the pros: Pros: This is a great place to stay with your family! The condo was clean, well decorated, and up-to-date with appliances and furniture. It's about 300 yards (football field is 100 yards) from the beach but you don't have to cross the street to get to it! Just walk out the pool door and you are on the path to the beach. It has a full size refrigerator, microwave, dish washer, and a small washer/dryer. I'm not sure I can go back to staying in a hotel for a week after staying in a condo! So nice to be able to wash my clothes and to cook a meal or two. Also a big plus is the owner is responsive. We had trouble getting on the internet so I texted the number that was provided and within minutes I had a response and a fix. It's also close to several family restaurants and there's one just across the street that would work for a romantic night out (The Middle Ground Seafood Grille $$$). If you are like me and need noise to sleep you'll be ok! We slept with the sliding door open and the sound of the waves and the wind was enough to put me to sleep. Some nights, people were in the pool way past my bedtime (and you can hear everything since it's directly under the balcony) but those nights I'd just shut the sliding door and turn on the bathroom fan. Easy. Cons: There aren't many cons to this place! There were 2 that bothered me enough that I feel I should share. The first one the condo can't do anything about and that's the other guests who stay there. For some reason, I thought it wasn't child friendly but there were several families with children there and some of them were extremely loud. The pool is directly under the balcony so you can hear everything they do and there were 2 families, on 2 separate nights that felt it was ok to have a screaming conversation between the kids in the pool and the adults on the balcony. Another family had just gotten married and the 3 kids from the mom didn't like the 1 kid from the dad and were constantly picking on each other, fighting and punching and screaming. Again, it's nothing the condo has control over but be prepared that things could get noise. The other con, that the condo people could fix, and I read other people complain about, are the bed sheets. I thought to myself, "Who would complain about bedsheets?" But, yes, it's bad. The protective sheet is very old and worn and won't stay on the mattress so in the morning it was usually a wadded up ball pushed to the end of the bed. The fitted sheet is no longer elastic so that was also usually off the mattress in the morning. I had to remake the bed every night and I had to be super gentle or the protective sheet would rip it was so old. If they would buy a purple (name, not the color) sheet it would actually fold under the bed and would stay on. I highly recommend this hotel. Great communication with owners, fun things to do in the area (dolphin cruises, jet ski, parasailing, suntanning...), beautiful condo, and a great location.
