We've been renting beach houses through Elliot for over 15 years now, and in the beginning, our…read moreexperiences were truly wonderful. Unfortunately, over the past few years, we've noticed a significant decline. Cleanliness has become a recurring issue. We've had to call housekeeping back multiple times because the initial cleaning was not done well. This past year, there was hair on the toilet paper holder, visible dust in several areas, and the indoor glass tables looked like they were wiped with harsh cleaners, leaving them streaky and cloudy. In the past, if something wasn't right, we could call and it would be taken care of quickly and professionally. This year felt very different. The hot tub was broken, and instead of a straightforward apology or resolution, the issue seemed to be brushed off. We also had random sheets placed in our elevator that we didn't request, which added to the confusion. What was most disappointing was that when my mom left a review on their site, parts of it were altered and the negative feedback was removed--even though she still gave a generous 4-star rating. As long-time renters, it's frustrating to see the quality and customer service go downhill like this. We've made many great memories over the years, but we hope to see improvements moving forward.

My family recently had a horrible stay at the Elliot Reality Ocean Reef resort. Upon arrival at the…read morecondo, we immediately noticed that the room was filthy--just walking in, there was a "smell." It didn't take us long at all to notice food and crumbs all over the floor and furniture. It only got worse as we unpacked to settle in and get ready for our beach vacation. It looked as if the room hadn't been cleaned for a while. Dirty linens on every bed had to be washed. There were broken fixtures, which included lights that didn't work, shower heads, and towel racks falling off the wall. The bath had to be scrubbed to remove all the filth that was left in it due to lack of cleaning. Doors to rooms wouldn't stay shut, which was interesting with 2 small children with us who wanted to walk into every room at the most inappropriate times. There was mold build‑up on trim and wall decor. Previous renters' mouth retainers were on the floor. A gigantic hairball was on the furniture, and sinks were clogged from hair buildup. There were layers upon layers of dust on fans, and a broken television in the master bedroom. During our stay, the keyless door lock to our room decided to run out of battery power. My Girlfirend and I waited 4 hours in the room waiting for someone to come change it. Don't expect common household kitchenware--the lack of basic necessities you would expect from renting a beach condo was not there. We were there 5 days and called every day about a new issue or just to inform them of the filth. They offered us a "reclean" 3 days in. It wasn't cleaned to begin with, and we had already cleaned just to try to feel comfortable. When we checked out and talked to the manager about our issues, he offered to refund the cleaning fee, saying that he couldn't credit us anymore unless the A/C or hot water was out. But Elliot Reality was perfectly fine with us laying and living in filth after we paid them over $3k for a 5‑day stay. It is a disgusting place, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing good research and finding a more accommodating rental in this area. Elliot Reality is not your top choice--please trust me.

We rented a place off of ocean Blvd south in north myrtle beach. The place is called chateau manor…read more Thomas 21 century real estate was the agent that rented the apartment to us. We signed the temp lease and arrived this past Thursday. When we entered the place we were surprised how small and cramped the place was. The pictures on the website were very deceiving and appear to be photo-shopped into making the place larger than what it actually is. When we opened the bathroom door; there was a foul, rotten stench. It smelled as if a small animal had died and was left in the tub. After catching our breathes from the horrible smell we realized that the smell was from mold that had spored and was festering in the bathroom. When I went into the kitchen to turn on the lights, I immediately looked down as something had caught my eye. To my surprise a full adult size COCKROACH scurried by my foot. When we turned on the water in the sink; the smell of raw sewage almost knocked me off my feet. The very next day we went to Thomas's office to report the problem. The rather heavyset girl at the desk listened to our issues about the mold and COCKROACH problem. She put a smirk on her face and told us that because of the extensive rain they had over the past couple of days, the COCKROACHs tend to come inside to "dry off". She then assured us that they will send a person out to take care of the problem. We then left the office and went about our business for the day. When we returned that night and turned on the light, the Adult sized COCKROACH had invited all his friends over. They were all over the place. We knew that Thomas reality had sent someone over because the broken screen door we found was fixed, but the COCKROACH Problem was not even touched. We found in the contract that Thomas has conveniently taken no responsibility about any pest problem in their reality property and does not refund any money because of it. So if you don't mind a COCKROACH infestation in your rental when you arrive on your vacation, then use THOMAS reality. We will NEVER rent from them again. Lesson learned. And it still smells in the bathroom. Thanks THOMAS for making us feel welcome in your ghetto rental!

I really wanted to like this place, but it ended up being one of the strangest hotel/resort…read moreexperiences I've had. The check-in process started things off on the wrong foot. Even though I completed all of the online pre-registration beforehand, I had to repeat the entire process at the front desk because they couldn't find any record of it. The line was long, instructions were minimal, and parking was confusing. Both towers park in the Indigo garage, and you have to use the third-floor walkway to get to the other tower--information that wasn't clearly explained. The room itself was the biggest disappointment. The layout is incredibly long and narrow and honestly just... odd. The master bedroom shares a wall with the public hallway, and because we were close to the elevator, we heard people talking at all hours. It felt more like sleeping in a hallway than a bedroom. The furnishings are badly overdue for an update. The furniture feels worn out, the closet door came off its track when opened, the master sink barely drained, the safe battery was dead (maintenance had to replace it), and the sheets felt like sandpaper. There were no USB charging ports or convenient outlets like you find in just about every hotel these days. The "kitchen" is really just a mini fridge (without a freezer), microwave, sink, toaster, coffee maker, and blender. Then the layout gets even stranger. The living room has a sofa bed, but there were no pillows and only one set of sheets stored in the master closet. Meanwhile, the second bathroom connected to the living room is enormous--with dual vanities, a huge shower, and a Jacuzzi tub--while the master bathroom is the size of a basic Holiday Inn bathroom. The whole setup feels backwards. The ocean and pool view was beautiful, but the room itself felt like a design that never figured out what it wanted to be. One of my biggest frustrations was the housekeeping policy. We were charged a daily housekeeping fee (nearly $30 per day), yet the paperwork says they don't actually provide housekeeping. The first two days no one even came until I called. When they finally did, they simply emptied the trash and left a couple of clean towels on the counter. Charging a daily housekeeping fee without providing daily housekeeping feels misleading. To top it off, the only proactive phone call we received during our stay wasn't to see if everything was okay--it was someone trying to sell us a "timeshare". There are also no ice machines in the tower and no front desk staff nearby if you need assistance, so every issue requires contacting the separate check-in building. For the price we paid (roughly $500+ per night after resort fees, housekeeping fees, marketing fees, and taxes), I expected a much more polished experience. Instead, it felt dated, confusing, and overpriced. The ocean view was lovely, but unfortunately that wasn't enough to make up for everything else. I wouldn't stay here again or recommend it.

We noticed broken patio furniture, broken pool light, no batteries in the remotes, weird smell in the laundry closet, wasps nests on the balconies and other fairly minor annoyances. Then the big stuff started. Huge leak in the ceiling running the length of the bed dripping on us in the middle of the night and continuing thru the week. We had to move the furniture to stay dry. And last but certainly the reason I would never book with Thomas again, we had rats! They came out the last night of our stay. We caught 3, killed 2 and left one for evidence as we were hurriedly packing to get out of there. As this happened late at night the Thomas people were "unable to place us somewhere else" so we made our own arrangements (party of 13, not an easy feat) and preceded to try to rectify the problem with Thomas the following day. Not only were we treated poorly by the manager, Ken at Thomas, but we were not offered adequate compensation for what we had to put up with. He repeatedly stated that "we had a full week" and "he didn't need to see our pictures" and there was "nothing he could do". We were devastated and left knowing next time to do more homework and to never, ever let our family, friends or acquaintances book with Thomas beach vacations again!
