The location was excellent! We were right on the beach and close to restaurants. Beach was never crowded. You could park under the building or in the outside lot spaces. It was a quiet development, so no noise issues at all. The condo was decorated in a beach theme, which you would expect being directly on the beach.
The appliances were all stainless steel and had been updated. Anything you might need for cooking and eating was available. Bed we used was comfortable. Pillows were okay, too. There were plenty of items in the 'play box' on the balcony to use, if you wished, including 'boogie boards' for the ocean, and seat bottom pillows for the chairs on the balcony.
There were TV's in all bedrooms and family room. Due to some kind of technical issue, we could not get the one in the family room to work, or two of the three bedrooms. In fairness, I am not mechanically inclined, so someone else could have gotten then to work easily. We watch little TV at home, so it wasn't significant for us.
The AC system worked great, so we were always comfortable. The MBR had a ceiling fan, (think the others, as well) which we ran for sleeping purposes. We had adequate towels and cloths for our stay. Although some might not see this as worthy of mentioning, the toilets had been updated and were the higher height we were accustomed. Every light and electrical plug we attempted to use worked in the condo. Might sound trivial, but we have visited places where they did not.
Some things for consideration to make the stay even better. The one tub in the second bathroom had developed a small split, which after showering caused some water to accumulate in that area. It did not keep you from taking a shower and the shower heads were fine. There were light bulbs and some light fixtures in need of dusting.
One thing we found a little unusual, and perhaps it was covered in the description and was missed by us, is that there was no soap, shampoo or facial tissues provided for the stay. Obviously, it was an easy fix, because we brought soap/shampoo that my spouse prefers to use, and we picked up a small box of tissue at the grocery store.
Communication between us and the owner of the condo was excellent! Responses were always timely and what few questions we had were answered quickly.
We enjoyed our time in Surfside Beach! We ate some great food and had good weather, too.
