This was our second time to this property. We love everything about the house and the outside! We will continue to choose this house when we want to get some good fishing and relaxation in!
We had such a great time here and are looking forward to book again! The house is very clean and accommodating. Everything as listed and more. Its location is perfect, very peaceful, but no more than a quick 3-5min drive to beaches , restaurants etc.. Matt was great as well!
The property is amazing! Plenty of room for families, fully stocked kitchen, beach items, ping pong table, air hockey....the entertainment was endless for our heard of kids! The company was helpful and responsive when we had questions or minor issues. We definitely recommend this home.
This is our second stay in this house and we love it! So much room, everything you could need and very close to restaurants, bars and the beach. & if you don't feel like going out you can fish off the dock, play air hockey, ping pong or corn hole. We had ages ranging from 21 - 70 and there was something for everyone.
The location was perfect. Being able to walk outside and fish off the dock was great. Plenty of space for our family. Stores close by and restaurants. We were also able to rent a golf cart. The only negative we had was how strong the sulfur smell was anytime we ran the water.
This rental was my first time using VRBO. I was fortunate to find such a beautiful home for my family to rent. The check-in & out process was easy. Communication with the owner was great!
The house is gorgeous. We loved the layout and all the extras that were included. I would absolutely rent it again. I highly recommend this house if you are looking-I doubt you will be disappointed.
So much to do for our family holiday weekend! Comfortably slept 10 — adult couples got their own room and the kids loved the bunk bed room. The living room and kitchen are open, perfect for group conversations and memories made. The kiddos stayed busy with the ping pong and air hockey tables. We had a line in the water from the back porch most of the time. Caught an 18” inch trout on the property that we filleted right there on the dock table! Brought our own underwater fishing light, didn’t have much success. However, the neighbors across the canal have four gigantic above water fishing lights. When they turned those on, it lit up like a football field, and action increased. Also fished in the bay, pier, jetties and surf - all within 10 minutes from the house. Crazy convenient for the fishing enthusiasts, with many options. The bait shops are minutes away. We were on the beach during the day, which was just a few minutes away, just across the highway. So easy. Restaurants less than a mile as well. The location of this house is outstanding - no one will be bored if you’re looking for anything mentioned above. Have a great time!
This was our second stay, and we’ll definitely keep coming back! It’s perfect for all ages, exactly as described, and always clean and comfortable. The location is ideal—just a short drive to the beach and close to great restaurants. Highly recommend!
This is the 4th or 5th time we’ve rented this house. It’s perfect for our yearly multi-generational beach trip. There’s plenty of space for everyone, lots of included amenities, and the location on the canal is perfect for our fishing loving boys. We will be back!
Great spacious layout and canal was perfect to fit our 39’ boat. Had a great time and can’t wait to return. In my opinion, one of the best locations for larger groups in surfside that we have found.
This house is perfect for our yearly extended family beach trip! This is the third time we stayed here. It has everything we need - kitchen amenities, plenty of beds for everyone, a huge table that we all can sit at together, boat dock, fire pit, etc. We always enjoy our stay.
The house is great! Plenty of space for a group! The owner was great to work with! The house had most everything we needed for our family and beach visit! I highly recommend!
House was very clean and in a nice location friendly neighborhood. Renters replied to me quick and was very helpful and friendly. I’ll recommend y’all to rent the beach house!!!
The property was great. Clean and very open and spacious for large groups. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of pots and pans to cook with for a large group. We had a fabulous time
This propeety exceeded my expectations, very clean & roomy! Everyone who came are already planning to try & rent this property for future stays. Communication with property manager were easy and timely
We had a great time staying in this home! We were 8 adults and 1 baby. My brothers family who lives down the street came over and there was plenty of room for us to gather and visit in the big living and kitchen area. Nice deck and area on the canal. We definitely hope to stay here again! 😀
