Agua Azul (U#10259)

For several years, my husband and I rented a house on Surfside Beach in October, and invited his sisters, their families, and close friends to join us for his birthday celebration. We always rented the same house, AGUA AZUL, and we’d sit for hours on the fantastic deck visiting, listening to the waves roll in, and enjoying the stunning sunrises and sunsets. The beach and ocean are so accessible just a staircase and a few steps away. The house’s living room, huge kitchen and dining room with long tables and many chairs provided ample space to feed the 30 hungry people. The bedrooms are inviting and spacious and the bathrooms are many!
My husband Herb passed away in April and I felt that the best tribute to honor his memory would be an October get-together in Surfside at Agua Azul, to celebrate his life with friends and family. Sadly, Lisa informed us in early October that we would be in a different house because Beryl had damaged Agua Azul. I was devastated and tearfully explained why, but understood the necessity for the change. Well, Lisa, being far more than just a property manager, set her mind, her amazing caring self, and her industrious crews to work on the many repairs. Two days before our stay, she informed us that the repairs would be completed in time, and we WOULD be staying at Agua Azul! We were excited to arrive at Surfside, and enter “our” clean and tidy house. Lisa and Holly are so responsive to problems that arise. When the downstairs’ AC quit working, we called the after-hours number and the courteous repairman arrived quickly and fixed the problem. Blue Water Resort Rentals doesn’t just offer excellent customer service, they do it with compassion and care. I could not find the words to express my gratitude, when Lisa informed me that Agua Azul would be ready for us, because what she did for me and Herb’s family is beyond words. We had a joyous, wonderful 5 day stay and a very special memorial

I've stayed in this home for a total of 3 times in the past 11 years. I love the space, the only exception was the I didn't like that one of the rooms did not have access to a bathroom and the bathroom in the hallway, you have to turn sideways in order to sit on it and I am a very small woman, so imagine the inconvenience to others. Over time I get things wear and tear, so the upstairs vanity proceeded to detach from the wall. Maintenance took a while to come out after several calls to check. They did determined it was rotted out. The stove in the kitchen needs to be replaced (it is hard to cook on a electric stovetop with one of the cooktops rigged to come on). Made it hard to get anything done. I wish that it had a ramp that lead out to the beach, because it's creepy having to walk through the weeds to access the beach. Out of 3 years, we experienced a snake once, so we definitely don't visit the other houses at night. The front desk/office staff is extremely helpful and nice. Other than those issues, I would still stay here again.

We scheduled is house to have a large group of women retreat. It was great. We had plenty of room and ample space to enjoy the house. The office has great employees (Letha) and was very helpful and professional with us while getting the house rented and handling the entire process. I would highly recommend this house to others.

As always Letha takes care of us and the Beach House is always clean. We have rented this particular Beach house 4 times now I noticed some of the beds changed far as matresses. Ours was very hard and before the bed was really comfy and soft. A couple of people said the twin matresses is the twin bunk room was not matresses almost a pad it was very then and uncomfortable! But we enjoy the deck it's very spacious! I do believe the appliances do need an upgrade, especially the stove. And the second dishwasher underneath the wood (trim) came apart when we op3ned it to use it. That may need to be tended too.

The house was large and the AC worked great. The location is perfect to get on the beach. Overall we
were very pleased.

Very nice house for our large extended family. Better lighting than some others, everything in working order except one coffeemaker, which they promptly replaced for us. Rooms pretty well furnished. Good A/C for our very hot July week. One BR had a totally private bath, good for elderly. The broom was lousy, but the vaccuum worked on the floor also. Our main concern was that we couldn't reserve it for next year, a full year in advance! It gets booked up fast. Not many chairs on porch, so bring your own beach chairs. We liked the picnic table on porch; we put a canopy over it for shade.

As always great, top oven coil in front did not work, reported it on check out

We love the house and will definitely be back! Bluewater Resort Rentals are the best to work with and very responsive. Could not have asked for a better weekend!

Roof Leak in front left bedroom facing the beach.
Front windows leaking facing the beach in living area.
Light bulbs hanging from wires at ceiling lights.
No bathroom trash receptacles, note have never seen a cabin without one, been renting with you for 10 years or so.
No chairs for the outdoor patio.
Owner needs to put money back into the place, felt run-down for the money we paid.

Had a family gettogether to celebrate my mom's birthday and despite the weather being pretty bad for the duration of the stay, we had a good time. Plenty of room and a great location. The place is showing its age especially in the kitchen...the stove is a relic and needs replacing...but all in all the place was as expected and met our needs. We had stayed here previously.

House was great except for some trash left behind furniture.

Southern Outdoor Dreams was able to host 11 disabled Veterans on a weekend of offshore fishing and easily house all veterans and staff.

Most bedrooms are setup with King beds and every veteran had their own room. The two bunk rooms were perfect for SOD Staff.

The full concrete floor under the house was a great way to escape the sun in the mid day and after 3 pm the back deck was covered in shade and felt amazing.

The inside was clean and well kept, the two refrigerators stored all the food for everyone, and there was enough parking for everyone.

We will try to book this house every event in Surfside.

House was spacious. A/C worked very well--A+! Beds were comfortable.
The refrigerators did not work well. The brackets were missing on the doors so we couldn't place items there. Water was leaking across the back of the fridge and pooled on the shelves. Inconvenient.

Our favorite beach house out of five family beach weeks. One disappointment was that the 8 twin beds were made for smaller children than our grandchildren. The house does have room for several air mattresses. There were only 3 outside chairs and a picnic table for the porches. We could have used more.
Everything else was wonderful about the house. We had several working many hours using the wifi with no problems.

Great house. Lots of room. Deck needs some attention. Rotten wood needs replacing railing loose missing boards. Baby or dog could fall thru.

Pros: Agua Azul is very large home for large groups with nice floor plan. AC was very cold downstairs. Very good water pressure in house, ultra clear water filter for drinking water built in to main kitchen sink (if you have stayed in SurfSide you will know how important this is), outside deck is largest we have found out of any rentals on the beach and upstairs balcony was very nice and offers better view of ocean/beach area. Plenty of bathrooms, king beds in most rooms, and large concrete parking area under the house or parking and beach gear. Lastly, we did NOT see any bugs, in some rentals roaches can be found.

Cons: One bathroom had no electricity when we arrived. Main deck had broken 2x6 board (18" hole) with picnic table positioned over it. Under the house concrete deck needed to blown/swept and some bulbs were burned out so lighting at night was not great. Refrigerator door some of shelving broken/missing. Same floor plan in other rentals had kitchen island. AC upstairs was very cold in some rooms and hot in others. Showing some wear.

Our family gathered to celebrate multiple birthdays, multiple anniversaries, high school graduation, college graduation,and the birth of two new children this past year. Our ages range from 92 down to six months. This house accommodated all of us very well. The early risers were able to go about morning preparation and cooking and entertaining of children without disturbing those still asleep up stairs. The same was true in the evenings food preparation dominoes and music did not disturb the young ones upstairs. Clean,well planned out floor plan, large gathering area, everything we needed for a great family celebration!!!

Pleasant weather for December.
The house itself had a few issues. No hot water at the kitchen sink and one dishwasher was not working, while the other one was in need of replacement.
Refrigerators were not in the best condition either and the stove was in need of cleaning.
The space was adequate and the kids had their own space upstairs with a living area and tv.
WiFi was not the best reception.
We rent yearly and the management people are great.

My family enjoyed it. It was a great weekend. All of the rooms were accommodating.

We enjoy coming to Surfside Beach every summer with the entire family. The Agua Azul fits our family.

Amazing vacation rental!!!!

Everybody loved it.

This being our 33 year with Brannan/Bluewater Resorts was a new experience every year. This is the first time we were a little disappointed in the condition of the house as it has been kept up most of the years we have been in it. We started staying in this house when it was brand new. Went through the repairs after Ike and have been very pleased. The condition of the house is ageing and the upkeep is not on a preventative schedule but on a reactive fix. This does not mean that we will not continue to stay at the house in the future. The people in the office are always helpful and courteous. I have been very impressed with the efficiency of the staff and the patience that they project. Thank you for their constant loyalty to the clients.

My family has come to Surfside for many years, renting the Aqua Azul. It is a large house with room for everyone.

Very easy to work with! Payment plan is nice!

Good place for large groups.

It was an amazing experience. We rented the beach house for family and friends to attend our daughter's wedding at The Springs Magnolia Manor in Angelton TX. It was close enough to the venue and relaxing to have a mini vacation. The Aqua Azul was exactly as online.

there is never a dual moment when we spend our 10 days at the Agua Azul. There is plenty of things to do and the beach is the highlight of the stay. the porch is the evening event with cool breezes and lots of family time catching up on the years events.
We have been doing this for 30 years and have always been treated well by the staff. If there is a problem that arises with the house it is immediately taken care of. We have already booked our stay for next year and are looking forward to our stay.

We had a wonderful week. The house was very nice and clean. The AC had issues one morning but I called the emergency repair number provided and the guys were out and had it fixed within a couple of hours. Great service!

Other then the weather been foggy, it was a great experience. The entire family liked the accommodation. The house is large, we had room to spare.

This is our second year to rent with this company and they are great! The house was amazing. It had everything we needed and more!

Very clean, and spacious. Great outside area on top and bottom floor. Wish the shower heads gave more water pressure and that the walk way to the beach was a little more kept but no complaints other than that. Would definitely stay again!

The stay was perfect, no tar, no seaweed and no mosquitoes, plus a super beach house perfect for my large family. The kitchen is well equipped and designed for large groups and the front row beach access is great for kids. Great WiFi, TV

We love this place. We have a large family that gathers every summer for a week at the beach. This house works for us perfectly!

Overall very positive. There were minor issues with the house that were generally addressed. Not enough functional televisions and the oven did not operate properly which complicated Thanksgiving dinner. However we would rent it again.

It was a very enjoyable stay at the Aqua Azul. Everyone was very impressed with the house. We will rent from you again.

Since we have been coming for a lot of years and have stayed in the same house for the past 11 years, we seem to have a really great time. Brannan is very prompt in taking care of any problems that come up in the house and repairs are done promptly. Enjoy the view and the easy access to the beach. The house accommodates our family very well. The employees have met all our needs and are quick to help in any fashion. We have a custom of enjoying Kitty's Purple Cow on the move in night so we can relax and take in the beautiful site. Yes, we would recommend this site for anyone who wants to rest and relax.

Overall positive, despite the impact of Tropical Storm Bill. We reported various "leaks" in connection with the storm, but not sure if they were ever checked on.

Great! One of our best gatherings yet!

Weather was not real great, but enjoyed the time spent with family. We rent once a year for a family gathering.
Lots of room, upstairs living area for the kids to play games, watch movies, have their own play area.

Amazing view of the water, almost like being in the water. Big great room to accomate over 30 people very comfortably. New floors and refrigerators. This is our second year at this house and we will gladly rent it again. Needed some extra cleaning when we arrived but over all was well maintained. The maintenance man was very helpful and ver responsive to our needs.

Our vacation rental was awesome as expected. We've rented numerous beach houses over the past 20 years and Aqua Azul is the best of all. Our large family had plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time together. The weather was a little rainy but the spacious house provided lots of space for games, good conversation and great food. We're already planning our next family retreat for 2015.

We have been going to Surfside Beach for 27 years during the fourth of July week. We have rented from Brannan for all of this time. This is the time our family looks forward to each and every year. Brannan has always made every effort to make our stay a wonderful experience. They respond immediately with any request we have. This is why we return each and every year.

We enjoyed the facilities very much.

This was a perfect house and location for senior prom weekend. No complaints. The entire community was welcoming.

Our 5-day annual Thanksgiving Family Vacation at Brannan Resort Rental's AGUA AZUL was FANTASTIC. Our 5 children, their spouses, and our 14 grandchildren had a wonderful time at a beautiful location. The first night was very cold outside, but inside, we were warm and happy and enjoyed each other's company in the spacious clean house.

The property was in a great location, just off the sand dunes. Very nice furnishings, excellent arrangement with multipull master bed rms. Comformatble and spaciouse accomadating 25 women with no problem. Would only have 32 if kids were involved. I had to clean for 2 hrs before everyone arrived and still needed much more. Bring hand towels. Over all I we would do it again!

Our church rented this beach house for our women's retreat. It was perfect for a houseful of women. Plenty of bathrooms. The living area was perfect for our lessons. Our only suggestion would be to add a walk way to the beach.

This was a great house for our annual family vacation. With 7 kids in the group, the upstairs separate living area and 6 bathrooms were a blessing. Will definitely rent there again.

Had a great time. The place is well laid out and very spacious for a large group. Short walk through the dunes to the water.

We come every year, and we always enjoy staying in Agua Azul.

We rented this property for a Senior Prom and overall, we were very pleased. It would have been nice to have picnic tables downstairs as well as an enclosed shower. We utilized the linen rental service and would again; however, the towels were shabby. We also had no hand towels for the bathrooms.

This home was perfect for my family. The kitchen offered plenty of room for all the cooks. Lots of dining space for all of us. You can't get much better than this!!

My family has been coming to Surfside Beach since 2000 and have rented houses from Brannon most of those trips. we have been very satisfied with the houses and have had really great times there. I hope we will be able to continue visiting the beach for
many years to come.

There was not enough sitting on the deck. No swings or hammocks. Board games or puzzles would also be nice. Otherwise the sitting inside was wonderful. The amount of beds and bathrooms was excellent. Overall it was a comfortable, nice beach house.

The staff at Brannan Realty were very helpful and nice. The house was located on the beach. There was good parking and everyone loved the house. I would recommend it - it's gorgeous and has alot of room in the living area and kitchen. We slept in one of the upstairs balcony rooms and it was so nice to sit on the deck or balcony and listen to the waves. I hope we find the time to rent this house again in the future. We're already talking about a girls retreat or family reunion.

Had a blast!

We loved this place. Stayed at another property before and needed more rooms and this was the best. Will be back next year and the years to come.

Thanks for everything. We truly enjoyed it.

This last stay was actually our second stay in the area during the winter months. The house this year was better for us as it had more bedrooms for our children and their spouses and their children. The only suggestion would be to get a better knowledge of the local laws and beach use. We brough four wheelers and were unable to utilize them during our stay. We will glady stay in a Brannon beach house again.
