611- Surf Shack! Great family beach getaway!

The condo was very nice and comfortable for us and our family who joined us with their dogs. We were lucky to have sunny warm weather for the first weekend in October. We did have an issue with the oven as it seemed to be under heated so the lasagna took way too long to get hot!

They thought of everything!! This was the most thoughtfully furnished vacation property we have ever stayed in. They truly thought of everything from the kitchen supplies to the games and puzzles! Cozy blankets to the yeti wine glasses. There was nothing that we needed. This condo is located a very short walk to the beach and very close to the 4.5 mile Lighthouse trail which is paved and beautiful. It is a short drive to the marina, shops and restaurants. Didn't have a chance to use the pool or hottub (too many children) but it looked lovely and the areas around the property we beautiful. If you're looking to do beachcombing and stay in a beautiful condo, this is the one!

had a fun interesting stay ....good food...aloha Alabama fish tacos.....yowza....westport winery for a very nice dinner......early morning walks on beach with dog....quiet misty...super cloud formations.....thundering surf sounds....condo was very well set up.....clean and quiet even though parking lot was packed.....every thing worked....showers hot....kitchen was just fine......I will go back soon....later....

I took my two grandkids (11 & 14) for our annual August getaway. The location was great. I could even see a small section of the ocean and waves through the dunes area. The kids loved the beach.. not too crowded and the pool. I would have given it 5 stars but the cabletv was broken and Xfinity never showed up to fix it. The beach facing door had no blind. It appeared to have been pulled off and not replaced. Beautifully maintained grounds.

We have stayed at Vacations by the Sea for many years in a variety of condos, we have always been happy with our stay. This short vacation was my 1 and 2 year old grandsons first. This condo was well stocked for people with children (toys, dishes, etc.) I love the furniture, not your typical uncomfortable hide-a-bed, a very high quality sofa to bed conversion, I am actually trying to find the same one for home/guests. The weather was warm and beautiful, we all had a great time, dogs included! We were also in 613 which was also amazing and offered a little peace when needed. We were a group of 6 adults, 2 toddlers, 2 dogs. From this ground floor unit you can see a piece of the ocean and tide, we also saw deer (a doe with 2 fawns). We would definitely stay in this condo with or without the kiddos.

This is the 4th condo we have rented in the complex. It is our favorite. We were looking for easy beach access, ground floor, pet friendly and this one had it all, plus a view! When we walked in, the condo was clean and bright. Throughout our stay, we found it well stocked and comfortable. We will definitely rent 611 again for our next stay if it is available.

We have stayed in several of these condos and been happy with all of them, but #611 is a clear cut above. We loved this home away from home! We were immediately comfortable and the beach vacation vibe settled in immediately. Very thoughtfully furnished to really welcome guests and make our stay a wonderful, laid-back experience. Already planning our next stay at the Surf Shack! Thank you for a great vacation on the beach!

We had a great time in a very well kept unit. Octopus themed throughout! Was surprised we could still see a glimpse of the ocean. Had deer strolling by the front window! Decent couches, chairs, and beds. The only comment would be that the lights over the beds needed 3 AA batteries each (4 total lights), and the living room could use a lamp on the right side of the couch.

We had an amazing time at this rental! Everything was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked! It was a very comfortable condo. It was close to the beach and we loved the pool and hot tub!

The unit location was great, loved the condo, and it suited are needs and had more kitchen items than expected which was great!!! The property had some maintenance going on but overall the experience was great! We will be back!!

Unit 611 is absolutely perfect. This ground level unit fit our family of 4 perfectly. With plenty of space to move around. It is well stocked with everything you need. Beds were comfortable and the location was perfect, a 1 minute walk to the beach. Proerty amenties were plentiful from a hot tub, bbq area, gym, basketball court, and a putting green. I would highly recommend this unit. I'd give it an 11 out of 10.

611 is nice and close to the beach. The kitchen is quite well equipped for cooking.

My husband and I enjoyed an anniversary getaway here. I was impressed by how immaculate this place was! Unit 611 has tasteful decor and comfortable furniture, creating a lovely "home away from home" feeling (without the clutter of our ACTUAL home!) Love the easy access to the beach, and when you feel like having a swim in WARMER water, having a key to the heated pool and hot tub area is fabulous!I love the thoughtful touches like board games, beach toys, and kid-sized dishware for kids! This condo is truly awesome and we looking forward to returning soon with our two children plus our dog!
