Fantastic Beach Front Property!

This beach house was amazing! We had 4 generations at the beach and the multi-levels worked excellent for everyone to have their space and be together! Steps from the beach, jacuzzi is amazing, great patio to watch the boardwalk show. Super clean, up to date and the best place to stay for a beach vacation!

Family and Friends Vacation

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in Life’s a Beach 1. We had two toddlers and an infant with us, so being next to the beach was absolutely what we were looking for. The upstairs guests were a little in our face about wanting the code to the hot tub on our VRBO contract. Other than that, everything was perfect. I would absolutely stay here again and rent out both homes so all our family can enjoy. Thank you Surf Stule!

Great location!!

We had a great time! Perfect location, it worked well for our two dogs. Great walks and people watching on the boardwalk. The house was well equipped and as described, although I did not realize it was a duplex! Lots of storage space for any long term stayers. We enjoyed the jacuzzi in the evening, very nice!

Family Vacay

Very nice location. Accommodated our family of eight. A small issue with no bedding for the pullout sofa bed for the kids. That finally showed up on our last night. Just a couple of minor fixes that need to be done to the house. The garbage disposal didn’t work and we couldn’t close the blinds in the living room, which is where the kids slept so that was a little concerning. Overall, our family had a great time lots of toys to play with chairs all the things you need to enjoy your beach vacation. Thank you.

Wonderful Stay!

Beach house dream

We stayed at this property for three nights. Our arrival was super easy. The property itself is fantastic. You can’t get any closer to the beach. We lucked out and had incredible weather in February and got to sit in the Jacuzzi every day and chat with people walking by. The best part about this place is you literally pack up your bags and leave they don’t expect you to do anything for cleaning which is fantastic when you’ve had a fun weekend and you’re ready to hit the road.

Great beach week!

Perfect size for a family of four to have room to stretch out. Steps to the beach. Adequately stocked and cleaned. Thank you! Would stay here again. Especially as it had a private front patio. We would have preferred NO hot tub, so there would be more room on the front patio for lounge chairs.And we loved the fact that we could bring our dog…that was a real treat.

Incredible Home

This was a great house! The location and the view were phenomenal! They provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, nice towels, and cleaning products. We spent the majority of our time sitting outside enjoying the view. We saw wild dolphins and watched the sunset every night. Watching all the different people walking, biking, and skating was also very enjoyable. I would definitely hook this property again.

Amazing Ocean Front Hot Tub, New and Clean Inside

We chose this place for the hot tub, and so glad we did! It was clean, we enjoyed people watching, & most of all having a glass of wine at sunset. Inside was new and well cared for. Having the master bedroom to ourselves on the top level was nice for my wife and I. Only had an issue with a toilet paper holder, the Surf Style manager was quick to fix it. We would highly recommend this place, just keep in mind that the parking spaces are small.

Large House, Nicely Remodeled, 5 Star Views

Well earned five stars review. The views from the top floor master bedroom, the interior is clean and new, the first floor is convenient having living room and kitchen easy access to the patio, the hot tub was AMAZING, and it was easy going to/from the beach with grandkids. We did have an issue with one of the ceiling fans, the manager had it fixed the very same day. We would return, thank you so much!!!

You have a really nice place

Life's a Beach is a very nice place, you can tell it was recently remodeled and very nicely maintained. Having the ground floor patio all to ourselves is what sold us on the place for our grandkids. We had an issue with some of the ceiling fans, the managers responded right away but there were floor fans so we didn't need assistance. But overall a well deserving 5 star stay.

Great location and very comfortable beds

Great stay with our two adult children and two babies. Everything was wonderful except the trash cabinet door won’t shut so you bumped into it all the time. The washing machine is very old and was broken the entire stay. They came to fix it 3 times and order parts etc. I wouldn’t stay again unless they installed a new one. It was hard with babies and they packed assuming there was a washer.

Overall it was mid

The property itself is ok. It is a little on the rundown side but the location is great being right on the boardwalk. The beds were ok but also inconsistent. Some were memory foam, some were a traditional mattress. There are two properties in this building and each one has space on each floor. The garage is the only parking and can get pretty cozy as it is shared with the other unit. This unit also has the main living area on the ground floor. The noise that comes from the other unit is no joke. You can hear basically every footstep and when the patio door opens and closes it sounds like distant thunder. The only real problem here is we had neighbors during part of our stay that got up for the day around 4:30 am. The main reason for the low star review is that the property actually had no hot water when we got there. The first shower was luke warm and we thought maybe the water heater temp was turned way down. It was annoying, but was kind of whatever. Then nxt day the shower was ice cold. After contacting the management it took three days to get it fixed. These guys do manage many properties which did allow for them to give us access to other nearby properties to shower. Which was helpful, but very inconvenient especially for what the rental rate is of this property. What was truly irritating and the reason for the overall rating is that they did not take this situation that seriously and did not communicate adequately about it.
