Great Location, Mediocre Home
The beachfront location and the multiple beds are about the only 2 things this house really has to offer. Nothing is really up to date (including photos) no tvs in the bedrooms (which is fine but I didn’t realize when I booked) The thermostat was set at 77 when we arrived. Very hot and muggy. Dishes still in dishwasher from previous guests. You can just tell the home has had very little Maintenance in comparison to other homes we’ve rented in Surfside. Out of all the homes we’ve stayed in, this one by far has the worst water. Most of our women refused to wash hair or shower as the smell was extremely intense. The write up says they have a water dispenser for drinking and cooking, however it ran out of water during our stay. Luckily we brought our own bottled water (which we also used to brush our teeth). The day of check in the manager texted me around 9:45am and asked if I was already at the beach house. I told her we were excited to be there but not yet. As check in isn’t until 4pm. I never got a response back so I was left wondering all day why she asked that? Felt it was poor communication. There was also confusion on checkout time. Some places stated 11am other places stated 10am. We left by 10 to be safe but again, didn’t really feel like there was enough communication. Overall we still had a good time but agreed we wouldn’t stay here again.

Christmas reunion
Our stay was lovely. They had the house decorated for Christmas which made our family exchange time even better. We lived being on the shoreline so we didn’t have to drive anywhere. We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time.

70th Birthday Getaway
We had a nice little getaway. The house was clean. A little small on the main level for our crew. Not enough seating. The house itself is very outdated. Most beds were comfortable, other than one of the beds in the master upstairs, bar in middle is uncomfortable to sleep in. Great location, walk to beach and close to restaurants. House manager was very accommodating, and would stay again if with a lighter crew.

Worked of Us
The house worked for us. I loved the view of the ocean. We were however disappointed about the downstairs. The chairs were missing or turned over. We had promised the children scores. We managed a few (was windy) but could not sit around the fire pit.

Nice cottage with excellent access to the beach.
This cottage was just a few steps from the beach. We were also able to drive onto the beach which made it easy to take chairs, umbrellas, etc. There's a ramp in addition to the stairs so it's easy to get luggage up and down. The only negative was that the bathrooms are very small, but beach life doesn't require much makeup or hair styling so it worked. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved our stay at this property!!
The description of the property location and amenities was very accurate and it was a beautiful place to stay!! Now that being said...we did have 2 issues we noticed. On our first night, we noticed the front right burner on the stove didn't work (but we weren't there to cook!) LOL We also didn't notice our 1st night, that the hot water was not really hot...but a good temperature for showers! However, while cleaning the kitchen the next morning, we realized the hot water was not really "that hot". After my husband checked...the breaker just needed to be thrown....then it was all good! Cleanliness wise the place was great. The only thing that made me question the depth of cleaning was that while looking for one of our two 2-year-old toys under a couch, I found a pair of men's boxer shorts that didn't belong to the 2 adult men with us! The house is great...we would definitely stay there again!

Nice little house on the beach, great location! My suggestions to the owners would be: Put a King size bed in the master bedroom downstairs (as advertised on the website) and really do a Deep cleaning! It's an older house with older issues but overall it was fine for our three days there.

Poorly Maintained /Damaged Property
Water damage was apparent; warped flooring; bad outlets; big black tarp nailed to the upstairs balcony which was apparently placed to keep water from getting in; didn’t get full use of property as the balcony didn’t look structurally sound and the tarp covered the balcony and up the entire front of property; the entire house would shake and sway when people walked or the wind blew. The a/c vent in living room dripped water on couch and floor. Housekeeping prior to our arrival was not done very thoroughly; dirty floors upon arrival and dirty dishes were put away in cabinets. It was a horrible property and not worth the expense. We have pictures of all.

Disappointed
Falsely advertised, extremely dated accommodations are worn out: doors don’t close right, you can feel the springs on matters, pillows are dirty and had no covers on first floor room but the worse is the moldy smell. :(

Need more maintenance
The house was overall clean but doesnt seem like the maintenance has been kept up. The AC leaked on the couch if it was turned down lower than 73 and the air vents wouldnt stay open. Made for hot nights upstairs.
