We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!

Basic accommodations with with a spectacular view

Beachfront home with stairs leading directly to the beach and a million dollar view of the Gulf sunrises from the deck that are not to be missed. Be sure to get up early, grab a coffee and enjoy This is a single bedroom apartment with a living room / kitchen and a full bath. The bed was very comfortable with quality linens in good condition. Bath towels were oversized and seemed quite new. The kitchen featured just the basics (refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster), a variety of pots and pans, dishes, mugs and glassware, utensils, can opener, etc. A few basic things that I felt were missing and that would have been nice to have were a cutting board, a colander, measuring cups, teaspoons (there were soup spoons), and a bath mat. Other amenities that I would have liked have include beach towels and beach chairs. This is an older property that could use some updating due to age and weathering. Be careful of walking barefoot on the deck. Some boards are warped and there are a few nail heads working their way up. Water pressure was good and there seemed to be plenty of hot water. The local water does seem to have an off smell to it. We used bottled water for cooking and making coffee.Any criticism I have should be viewed as just nuisance issues. I have to say that we had a wonderful stay. Surfside is one of the most walkable beaches I have been on. Watch out for cars and golf carts, though. I would recommend this property and I would stay again.

Perfect getaway

The beach apartment was well appointed, and clean. Appliances are dated, but in good working condition. TVs are new and good size. Outstanding beach front on beautiful, clean sand beach. Safe, upscale neighborhood. Good restaurants near by. The multi level porches offered great views and privacy from the other units in the building. Had a relaxing holiday. Shower temp and water pressure was a nice surprise.

Just ok

Check-in was a breeze. However, the condo itself needs updates. The floor had chipping, the bathroom had several rusty areas including a completely rusted shower caddy. It seemed the condo was recently painted as their was paint splatter all over the floor and in the bathroom sink. When walking around on the deck porch the whole house seemed to sway. For the price and for alsl a service charge their are other much better condos. Would not recommend.

Filthy, Holes in wall, broke light fixture. tv didn't work

We were so disappointed in this rental. We walked in and seen bugs all over the ceiling. We went to use a broom to sweep them down, and the broom was broke in half. The door didn't have a good fit closing. That's why there were so many bugs. The return vent was rusty and very dirty. Then we noticed that the light fixture over the sink was broke and holes in the wall. We tried to turn the tv on and that was also not working. When we came back from the beach, we noticed a roach in the bedroom. The next morning we tried to make coffee in the coffee maker, and the spring was broke inside the filter holder.I took pictures of every defect in this unit.

Motel quality, beach house price

This home was filthy when I arrived. Weeks worth of dead bugs, broken glass light fixture, dirty fridge—it was gross. The lock on the door did not function appropriately, it would lock sometimes, but not consistently. When locked, the lock wouldn’t immediately open when I entered the code. I requested assistance and was told that it was a pneumatic lock I didn’t hear. They said they would send out maintenance because there was a huge gap in the door and the door frame. I asked for a time frame when they would arrive and I requested a 24hr number I could contact if I was locked out—no information was shared and a gap remained in the door. The location was great, right on the beach, but the stress and worry about the door caused me to leave early. What’s the point of being hot and sweaty (because the door didn’t close) in a gross place? I can do that at home. . I received no response when I emailed the rental place. The road to the house is entirely sand and turns into a river when it rains. Very unhappy.

Great location, shabby bungalow

The location of this property is wonderful. If you don't mind a really shabby property that needs a deep clean, then this rental will suffice. They need a professional handyman to fix the front door and lock. They also need a cleaning service that cleans! The light switches were almost black with fingerprint grime. All the doors and door handles need sanitizing. The refrigerator door was grimy. I ended up wiping down things just so I could open & close doors with confidence. The bed was smaller than advertised and shook whenever a person moved. I wiped up a spill of water on the floor and my paper towel was black. Mopped floors would have been nice. The AC was ok, but don't expect an evenly cool rental. The living room was cold and the bedroom was hot.

Well long get away

Although we left refreshed and thoroughly enjoyed being right on the beach, the accommodations were a bit disappointing. Think 50's, one BR apt with very little decor, only a basic clothes bar (no shelf) & water warped attic door access above, inexpensive furniture (Wal-Mart/Target type) and lousy paint touch up. No hooks for hanging stuff in bath or by door (for towels) and only a wooden bench to sit on on the deck; no lounge chairs or beach chairs. Only the VERY BASICS in the kitchen, including a vintage oven/stove with crummy foil wrapped burner pans... absolutely nothing extra. Also no outstanding notices staying water was unfit to drink or cook with... Just accidentally found that info in the notebook about policies etc. Fortunately we had brought bottled water with us, but we didn't think to bring chairs so had to go buy some. Had a great time getting to know a few of the other occupants over the weekend then had the place to ourselves. We appreciated having washer and drier available to us but felt the need to "clean it up" (sweep, wipe down & cleanup) the laundry area before introducing my clean laundry to it. (Also there was no waste basket for drier lint, used drier sheets, etc.) We loved the beach but in the future we will look into some of the newly renovated properties with a few more amenities.
