Perfection

We travel a bit and who can plan an exact arrival time? Legacy Vacations was very accommodating, let us in early. I have rented where the check in time they management is strict and I left. You can not go wrong with this location or Legacy Vacations. Sweet young lady even came by first day to make sure everything was good. Amazing people

Really nice stay!

My 17 year old daughter and I stayed for 4 nights. The condo is great location for those wanting fast access to the beach. We stepped out the door and were about 5 feet from the pool and a one minute walk straight out to the the beach. We ordered groceries and cooked on site. In four days we never needed to leave the location. I worked remotely in the mornings and the WiFi access was great. We will stay here again. My only advice is to bring beach towels if you want them for on top of the beach chairs. We didn’t and had to order them for delivery. Also, coffee filers and more TP provided by host would be great. We ordered those as well. Overall we loved it!

Yearly Family Beach Vacation at Island Surf

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our Family Vacation at Island Surf . We have been coming to Island Surf for years . We like that it is a smaller unit without elevators and high rise close to the beach with a view and beach chairs . I would like to suggest that the gate locks on the side property near the walls have pull locks like the pool area . The gate lock on the side near beach wall is loose / unbloted . Our 5 year old was able to open the gate and I found her in the front parking lot . The gate on the other side of the property is also loose. Thank You

Family Vacation 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Legacy Vacation it has been a family tradition for many years. We had not been to Legacy Condo the past 3 years due to Covid . This year 2023, the family traveled from SC , Tn , Al to Ft Walton Beach and we rented 5 Legacy units June 3-10 . I stayed in the efficiently unit I had stayed in the past and members of the family stayed in 1 and 2 bedroom units. This year I encountered a number of problems with the efficiency unit . First, the wifi internet password given at check in was not correct and had to call the office ' they informed us the wifi router had been changed to Cox and gave the new password. We could not get the TV to work and had to ask for help setting it up. All very frustrating to deal with on the first day . The coffee pot was would not work during the stay . The electric stove top was difficult . One member of the family had a flat tire in the parking lot in front of their condo unit. They had to take the flat off and take it and find a tire repair . They found a screw in the tire and it had to be patched and changed out. They were without a car for 3 days . The family checked out the parking lot and we all found similar screws in the front parking lot and back grass area from on site construction. We worried they might have a blowout with the patched tire on the Interstate with the long drive home to Charleston with children . Another member of the family found a flat tire the day after the drive back home to Memphis. They could have had a blowout on the Interstate with a car load of children Scary ! A neighbor in the upstairs unit told us the day he checked in his unit the HVAC was not working. He was sleeping on the outside porch . It took 2 + days before AC repairman came to the unit .

Right by the pool and short walk to the beach. Mostly a nice place for the price but there was a few roaches we saw (alive and dead) as well as a lizard inside the unit. Overall nice stay for the price.
