This was way better than we hoped for! Roomy, close to the beach, away from large crowds but close enough to the action. I am in love with this property!
Great location only issues were only two burners worked on the stove, which made it hard to cook Christmas dinner and the couch look like a dog had chewed on it, but it was OK because it had amazing views in walking distance to the beach
It was a clean environment, just as its losted. A beautiful place to stay. It was clean, organized, and the communication with the host was awesome! She answered us as soon as she could and gave us clear answers to any questions we had! We definitely recomend and will stay here again if we're back in Surfside!
We enjoyed our stay. Very close to the beach. Good views for 3rd row! Didn’t use the kitchen. Typical beach house wear n’ tear; however, the water filtration system works well (no odor) Remodeled areas are very nice. Front stairs don’t have a landing so avoid heavy luggage. And the price was great.
We enjoyed our time at this house and found it to be as listed. It is about 3rd row back from the beach, but a quick walk to the bridge over the dunes. Our dog was very comfortable here.
FYIs the fence is not very tall and probably only good for small dogs to use as an actual fence.
We were there in Nov right after Thanksgiving and the mosquitos were awful. Bring all the spray and everything else.
7 of us came for a quick trip to surfside. This is the second time we have stayed in this home. Small but cozy. Everything you need to make meals is there and that is super important to me. Be advised that they require you to wash and dry all lines and towels before departing or you get a fee tacked on. Location is right beside a beach entrance to the county beach so that was awesome as we did not want to be on surfside city beach.
While the picture of proximity to the beach was not correct the walk was not not bad at all, even for the little ones. We had no issues with mosquitoes walking back and forth. The bridge crossover to the beach is in need of some repairs. The house was good just never got used to feeling the sway of a house on stilts lol or the horrible smell of the water in the house. Overall we had a great time and the host is great and super quick to respond.
We loved the little beach house. We went 4 nights without internet. So we improvised. Kids used hot spot on phones to play games. So the small game table took over as a result. Adults put down phones as well. We had so much fun. Laughing and talking. Everyone kept asking have they said anything about the internet yet. I just ignored them.
The house had everything you needed in the kitchen. Bring your own shampoo and body wash. Think everyone usually does just in case. Both the bathrooms had plenty towels. Especially for a sleeps 10 house. So no internet could be viewed as bad or not depending on your circumstances. I did send a message to the landlord but don’t think they got back with me. Grandson said it gave a number to call to fix it. But I am 78 years old and said just forget it!! And amazingly everyone survived!!
Overall would rent again!
Perfect weekend get-away. Easily accessible residence and beach. The amenities were great. The host is so sweet. The fishing, swimming, sunning and relaxing was amazing. I would definitely return.
PET FRIENDLY with a yard!We had a wonderful time and loved the ease of having our dogs there. They have a little fenced area where you can let your dogs run. The beach is right there. You can see beach from front and back porch. We loved the house and the host was very accommodating.
Awesome place to stay. Only wish we could have been there longer. Clean, had everything we were looking for and the price was reasonable. Will definitely consider going back again.
