We rented Casa Costilia A & B for thanksgiving. The property sat right on the beach & was…read moredriving/golf ride from local grocery stores which was a plus. If you're looking to book a location just for a family visit this is ideal as it accommodates a large group with great parking. The house came equipped with everything you would need in a kitchen. It was advised as only having a drip coffee machine however, it offered a kerig with drip and k cup option. It also had an iron the laundry room in which the property company said was not included. I would suggest better TVs in a home that accommodates such a large group. The volume in the casa a was difficult to hear. My suggestion- increase the guest experience by investing in a better TV brand (Sony or Samsung) with a larger inch. We all set in one house trying to watch a Christmas movie and it was really hard. For the rental company & home owner- maybe include better instructions on where the separate piles should go upon check-out. Should they be left in the room? Should they be left in the kitchen? Overall, this was a great house for our group and the kitchen that allowed us to make Thanksgiving dinner easily. Oh! A portable stand would be great too! It'll help multiple chefs! Thank you to the home owner for answering the phone for our questions.

There was mold everywhere in the house. The pool didn't work. The pool deck was completely in disarray leaks throughout the house on the phone constantly every day. How was that a vacation for my family? The house was sold a week after we left, which I did find out who the seller was, and I did find out who the buyer was, and they knew about it. They did not want to put any more effort into making sure that we enjoyed Our vacation and that we were safe in the environment that we paid for . I am contacting Town officials in Surfside Beach and I will continue to reach out to our legislators government to hold them accountable for doing what they did . I didn't even get an apology. I just got excuses that returns to me. The most I will do everything in my power to make sure that hard working people don't get taken advantage of by them.

We've owned a home in Avalon at Carolina Forest for the past two years. Although we currently live…read morein another state and rent the property, we've stayed on top of all communications and payments -- yet dealing with FirstService Residential has been an absolute nightmare. I've submitted multiple written disputes regarding several incorrect violation notices, and no one ever responds. Instead of resolving the issues, they've repeatedly tried to charge my card on file (which I eventually canceled). I've called at least 50 times, and every time I'm told to "fill out a form on the website." No one ever calls back, and no one connects me to a manager who can actually help. The most recent example: they issued a violation for "parking on grass," but the photo they used shows the wrong house and the wrong car. I've attached screenshots of my communications proving this mistake. Despite that, they never corrected it or removed the violation -- instead, they continued adding late fees and now sent a certified notice threatening to put a lien on my property. This company shows complete disregard for homeowners, provides zero accountability, and creates stress instead of support. If you value transparency, fairness, and basic professionalism, avoid any community managed by FirstService Residential.

The rental agreement states that if the temperature d goes below 60 degrees Fahrenheit that the heater will cut off. Our first full day the temperature was above 65 degrees nearly the entire day, the pool never heated up. The second day was a little cooler with the temp not getting to 60 until noon the pool never heated up. The third the temp was over 60 by 9AM, the pool never heated up. You get it! We called the property management company, and they said that the agreement says 65 degrees. I am happy share a copy, it does not. It clearly says the the pool will be heated so long as the temperature is greater than 60. We requested a refund for the pool, and we were denied. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it was $400 just to heat the pool. I will say that the property was beautiful and well maintained. The location was great as well. Lots of fun activities and amenities near by. However, I would highly recommend looking at different property management firms as this one was dishonest. We are definitely going back to Myrtle Beach, but we will stay clear of Sea Star Realty!
