Great location, poor communication and response from owners.

The house sits right on the beach which is great. When we arrived half of the house did not have power. The AC unit would run for a few minutes and then turn off. When we contacted the owner and she said that her husband was out of town and that he normally handled these things. So the first night we couldn't cook or cool the house. They did come out around 11 the next morning and fixed the power to the house. Howeber, the AC still would not run properly. I did attempt to contact the owner to let them know about the AC and never heard anything back. We were unable to cool the house for the duration of our stay.

Perfect

We are returning guest to this property. We love the home, location, and host. You can’t get any closer to the water than this home. We love that they allow our Fur Babies. The home is clean and well stocked with all that you will need for a wonderful beach getaway. Plenty of food options close by as well. You will not regret choosing this home

As always, we enjoyed our stay, being just a few steps away from the beach is so convenient and we have the best morning and evening views. This spot is always our first go to place to rent when in Surfside.

Fabulous just like every year

My two friends and I stay at this house the same time every year for over 5 years! We LOVE this place. The location could not be more perfect! The house is always clean and the decorations are so cute!! Before we left we booked next year! Looking for a beach front property with an awesome big deck overlooking the ocean? Look no further! This is it!

Surfside Stay

Well, the property was good, although there are a number of maintenance items that should be addressed. The destination is one we will not likely repeat (not at all a problem with the owner of the property), but the lack of drinkable water and the odor of the water from faucets made a big difference to us. The home itself is pretty well maintained....but I would recommend and update of the outdoor cushions (there's no real cushion in the cushions), replacement of a couple pots and pans would help visitors use the induction cooktop, and either replacement of or addition to cooking utensils would be a big plus! The living room was fine, the single bathroom was excellent, and the second bathroom was also in good shape.
