Nice stay
We were surprised and a little unnerved about the rattle snake habitat next to house. But all was good never seen a snake. Beach is A few steps away. My husband enjoyed watching big ships coming . Need some dishes to be able warm things in microwave. Smaller skillet needs replaced. But other than that kitchen was efficient. The doors to bedrooms stick. The one door is hard to shut.Furniture ok. The Queen bed is really soft you sink in the middle. No air in bedroom but there is a fan.

Happy we stayed at Surf Rider
It was a great stay overall, steps from the beach so I could sit on the deck and watch the kids (12 and 15) plan in the sand, the gate on the deck was great to keep the dog from running down. Everything was clean and in fairly good condition. We didn't cook but the kitchen would have allowed it. Only minor flaws in our opinion was the smaller deck chairs were a bit flimsy, and my husband felt the queen bed was too soft, but he's a back sleeper and likes a super firm mattress. I slept like a baby. We'd for sure consider staying again. The outdoor shower was perfect to get the sand washed off before heading up. We really had a great weekend.

Great location
Wonderful location with great views! We stay in Surfside frequently and really enjoyed this location, you can’t get any closer to the beach. Host was very responsive. The house is smaller than what we are used to (family of 5) but the layout worked and it was clean!

Wonderful location
We stayed here in December and basically had the beach to ourselves. It's wonderful to walk down the stairs, take a few steps, and be on the beach. This truly is a great location. This is a pedestrian only beach, so it's nice and quiet without trucks all over. Great views from the windows, deck, and the beach is basically your yard. We found a lot of shells, were visited by a variety of birds, and saw several huge ships come into port. Highly recommend.
