I would recommend Beach Realty or beachhouse properties. I have been to many of their properties.

You can enter your text under ';Hotels';, Reviews, on this TA site and add your ratings.

The list of damaged property within the unit seems to me that either the owner or the property manager did not live up to their own contracts. I hope you prevail.

This is what they claim on their website:

What condo was it Sand %26amp; Sea?

We just used Oceanside Vacation Rentals over Easter weekend and did not have good luck with these folks. The unit we stayed in was Prom 304, which is right next to Sand %26amp; Sea. While the unit we stayed in was recently remodeled and it was beautiful, there were many problems that started right when we walked in the door.

When we first checked into Prom 304, the TV was not working and so we called and they came right up but could not fix the problem with the TV. (It was a brand new off-brand flat TV). On Saturday, they came up and switched TVs around and took the TV from the master and put it in the living room. However, when they made the change, neither the DVD nor the VCR would work and the TV that they placed in the master did not have a remote. In addition to the problems with the TVs, the bath tub was not clean (sand in it); we realized on the last night that one of the lights next to the bed was missing a light bulb so you could not read in bed; there was no remote for the bedroom TV; the bed in the second bedroom was missing a leg and was propped up with a paint can and ceramic tiles, and the biggest issue was that there was a major leak under the sink. I put our Wii under the bathroom sink (stupid idea....I now realize) and the water poured out of the sink drain right into our Wii. We realized these other problems Saturday night and Sunday morning and since it was Easter Sunday and we were checking out, I called and left a message on Oceanside Vacation Rentals phone so that they could enjoy their Easter holiday.

While I realize that it was stupid to stick the our Wii under the sink, it is no different than if I had put my expensive Chi flat iron or hair dryer under the sink and having those items destroyed. The owner of Prom 304 said that he didn%26#39;t feel that he was responsible for the water damage. Oceanside Vacation Rentals was going to give us a $100 coupon to use for a future stay but they rescinded their offer when I told them that I was going to post my experience online and that I was going to dispute their charges on my credit card. Oceanside Vacation Rentals informed me that I signed their contract that said they were not liable for any damages; she also said that I was threatening her by telling her I was posting my review online and hung up on me.

We do not like to stay at chain hotels -- we really prefer to stay in condos and have NEVER ran into anything like this. I wasn%26#39;t going to let the inconveniences we experienced ruin our stay; however, when we saw just how much water was coming out of the sink, it was the last straw. I am also a firm believer in doing the right thing, and neither Oceanside Vacation Rentals nor the owner of Prom 304 subscribes to this belief.

Tomorrow it will be two weeks since we have stayed at Prom 304, and I still have not received the credit for my damage deposit. I requested a copy of the rental agreement 7 days ago and to date, have not received this either.

Word to the wise . . . renter BEWARE!

NOTE: I originally posted the above review, but had it removed after I realized I had used the incorrect name of company we rented Prom 304 from. I fixed the error and this is the corrected version. Sorry for inconvenience.

Sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience. I have never used their services, guess I won%26#39;t either. LOL!

One question, why did you put your Wii under the sink?

When we were putting our stuff away, I noticed there was nothing under either of the 2 sinks in the main bathroom. We put our toiletry bags and hair dryer, flat iron, etc. under one sink, leaving the space under the other sink open. When we were having trouble with the TVs and it appeared that we wouldn%26#39;t be able to use the Wii, I just wanted it out of the way and to hide it and I remembered that there was the space under the sink that was easy to get to. Oceanside Vacation Rentals said they had found someone to come over on Saturday morning while we were gone to see if they could fix the TV. Since we weren%26#39;t going to be there, and we weren%26#39;t using the Wii, I figured that would be the perfect place for it. I now know that it is a crazy place to put something like that, but the space was empty and easy to get to. Will I ever put electronics under a sink in some place that we don%26#39;t own? In a word -- NO. But.....I don%26#39;t think we have EVER stayed in a place where the sink leaked, or we had any issues. Oh well....live and learn....what is so disappointing is that Oceanside Vacation Rentals or the owner of Prom 304 aren%26#39;t taking any responsibility. I believe that we were the first people to stay in the unit after their remodel, and when the put the sinks back in after redoing the tile, I think they forgot to reconnect the one sink.

We used Oceanside Vacation Rentals over easter weekend (check in date was April 10/check out April 12) and we JUST had our damage deposit refunded to our credit card on May 22nd! They told us that the damage deposit would be credited back within 7-10 days, but was actually 40 days after we checked out. We had a lot of problems with these folks!
