Not great
There is no water. Not enough water pressure to take a shower or make coffee. It took over 30mins to fill the coffee pot with water. There is certainly not enough to do more than 1 task at a a time AND you have to wait in between tasks for it to build up pressure again. Having to wash the towels and linens and run the dishwasher is ridiculous given the lack of available water and also unreasonable with the 10am checkout time. Would not stay here again because of the water and laundry issues. The rest was fine.

February get away
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!

Quick get away
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.

Great quick stay
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.

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.

Cute l beach house - would rent again!
The beach house was clean and had everything we needed. The landlord communicated very quickly for any of our needs and questions. Just a short walk over the dunes to the beach. We were warned about the mosquitoes, and it’s true! Bring some really good mosquito spray if you’re hanging out at the beach house outside! During the day, they weren’t bad at all, but one evening hit they were pretty plentiful. Of course we were told about the build ration system in the house for bathing and cooking, and that that it was safe. but it does have a really fishy smell so just be prepared for that. We went to a couple restaurants located in the area within 10 miles. We went to Clute Texas for breakfast at a place called Sweet Ts. We had Mexican food at a restaurant called El Himador(or something like that). And we had breakfast on our last day at Seahorse Bar and Grill right down the street from us. Looks like a cool place to hang out for drinks as well. All were really good food! We cooked out a couple nights with hamburgers and hotdogs. We cooked a couple meals in the kitchen. Make sure you bring your bottled water and all the groceries needed to cook at the house and on the grill. We had a great time!

Nice rental
It was clean and cute. Very simple. However, Couches were uncomfortable. Coffee table very wobbly. Kitchen chairs wobbly. Downstairs/outside shower didn't work. And, the smoke detector went off in the middle of the night. The handyman did come by and take care of all issues. (Except the kitchen chairs because i didn't realize this until our last night there) The smoke detector did go off our last night there and i just unplugged it so we wouldn't have to deal with it again. I was under the impression by pics and the comment i read of: a few feet from beach, that it was on the beach. It's not. It wasn't far but i wanted a house with full beach view. But, you make the best of what you get. Jennifer was easy to get ahold of and answered quickly. She sent the handyman quickly to resolve known issues. The home was cute. Beds comfortable. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining because we did enjoy our time there and whenever you stay somewhere else there will be discomforts. I won't stay again, only because it's not on the beach. That's my personal preference. But, i would definitely rent from Jennifer again.
