The house overall works. We would have loved a king bed. Easy access to the beach. Good shower down stairs perfect to keep the sand out. And 3 full baths upstairs makes things move along. We only got 1 television to work normally. In the middle bedroom. This house gave us a great place to have a weekend. With 4 of our grands.
Excellent news Deborah! We're delighted Phoenix Rising was a great place for you and your group! We appreciate the 5-stars and hope you'll be back again!
Check in was very easy and smooth. Kitchen facilities were adequate. Location was awesome - very close to beach!Cleanliness was ok, there was carpet upstairs (which seems odd for a beach house) that definitely needed cleaning. It was very old and spotted. Otherwise ok.

Anne, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Anne! We’re happy to hear check-in was a breeze, the kitchen met your needs, and you loved being so close to the beach. We appreciate your note about the upstairs carpet—it’s actually there to help with sound between floors, but we’ll be sure it gets the extra attention it needs to stay fresh and clean. We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing getaway!
Comfortable and clean, nice space. Great location. Thanks for the stay. If I had any complaint it would be the bed pillows are very firm, but that's on me, I need to travel with my own.

Cozy welcoming home.
Plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Bedrooms are a good size. Large living area that we didn’t feel crowded. Very calming and peaceful place to stay. Great for families! Terrific views of the ocean.

The location of Phoenix Rising is great for walking to the beach and watching the sunrise and set. The layout of the house is perfect for 2 adult couples with 2 bedrooms having ensuite bathrooms. Hosts provides basic items for bathroom and kitchen.

Good property for people on a budget. If you are looking for an absolutely prestine property, this is not it. However, it is a great value and the aesthetics did not impact our ability to have a great time there.

We're glad you had a great stay and appreciate your feedback. We're not quite sure what you mean by pristine nor aesthetics. While this is certainly not a brand new home, it did just receive all new carpeting and a fresh coat of paint on every wall in May. Perhaps, you were looking for something specific? Regardless, we're happy to hear your time was not impacted negatively.
Our stay could not have been better except if we owned the property ourselves!! Everything was clean, comfortable and inviting. Plans for next summer are already underway.

It had everything we could possibly need and more. My only complaint is that the upstairs could have been cooler. It pretty much stayed warm up there all times. Other then that it was a great house!

Thanks so much for the 5-stars and appreciate you being such gracious guests to host! There is a separate thermostat control upstairs, not sure if you noticed that; however, we will gladly have our maintenance team confirm all is working properly! Hope to host you again!
Property was well furnished, tastefully decorated, and close to the beach. Water softener and water dispenser were definitely appreciated. Overall cleanliness was good, not great, but cleaning materials were available. Definitely would book again!

We had amazing time celebrating our son’s 18th birthday with a couple of friends. The rental was clean and had everything we needed. It’s very relaxing and laid back. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

So happy to hear the celebration was a success and you found our beach house clean and relaxing for your small group. We hope you'll be back again!
The beach house had everything we needed--tableware, dishes, pots/pans, toaster, both Keurig and drip coffee makers, water filtration system, stacked washer/dryer, grill, linens, towels, WIFI, margarita machine--plus nice ocean views. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, there was plenty of space for 4 adults and a child and 2 dogs. Short walk to the beach; several local restaurants within walking distance. About 1-5 hours drive (for us)makes this an ideal destination for a last-minute trip for a long weekend.

We like excellent! Thanks for choosing our home for your getaway. So sorry about the drip coffee maker. We went over to test and sure enough it's a goner. Hope you were able to use the Keurig the owner just put in the home instead. It seems to be working great.
Would love to have you and your group back again! Thanks for taking good care of our home during your stay.
Everything was great even though this area had just suffered a hurricane blow. It’s understandable that property owners cannot control pick-up of debris piles out in front of properties. Management always worked with us on anything that came up. We had to extend our stay 3 times due to a death in our family in town while we were there. The house was great and had nice views too. The house is kept nice and everything in working order. Thank you for a great stay!!

Thank you for being such lovely guests to host, Valerie! We're so glad you had a great stay despite the loss in your family. We hope to host you again!
We rented this house for a long weekend. The photos don't really give you the feeling of house close to the beach you are at this property. It is just a few minutes walk (if that) from the beach. There's no need to take EVERYTHING to the beach, as you can easily go back and grab things as you want/need them. The house is perfect for a family. It would work well for two or three couples that want to rent a place. All three bedrooms have queen beds, so one couple wouldn't be stuck in bunk beds, as is often the case on beach homes. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything you will need and more. Check-in was very easy and painless. A/C is good enough to keep up with the Texas heat. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Excellent news! Thank you so much for the detailed review and pointers! You were fantastic courteous guests to host. We hope you'll be back again for more beachside fun!
House was nice. There were a few things I wish I’d known before going. There was no toddler plates or eating wear. And the baby gate that was in the house was broken. We bought our own to help keep our kiddos safe. We have a 1.5 and 3.5 year old. Also the listing shown that there was a bathtub. In one of the room's there is a bathtub, but it doesn’t hold water and the stopper is completely unattached from the tub. So my kids hated bath time and screamed each and every time we had to shower. The garbage disposal in the kitchen did not work and the sink on that side did not drain. The broom that is there has seen better days and I’d love to have swept the sand more often, but it was a pain. Over all it was a great stay and had a great time. Beds were comfy. Living area spacious. Could see the beach from the couch. Amazing views from all four decks. My kids loved the wooden blocks and played with them often. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Thank you for allowing us to host you and your group's stay, Dan! We're happy to hear you appreciated the amazing views from the many decks and overall had a great time. We don't advertise toddler plates nor a baby gate, actually, but we will certainly pass along your suggestion for both items to this home's receptive owners. As for the tub stopper, we would have gladly sent our field hospitality specialist stop by with one had we known. It would have been no problem at all, sorry for the inconvenience though. We aren't aware of any issues with the garbage disposal, perhaps it got clogged by something put in the sink? We appreciate you noting the comfortable beds and scenic views.
Great location with 3 min walk to beach. House was nice but pictures make rooms seem larger. Under rooms descriptions the wording seems that there is a bath/shower in each room. One is down stairs.
Fully stocked for cooking and eating but bring paper plates as most of the dishes are glass.
Oh... and the water there smells bad and the water dispenser in the living room was not working and not fit for drinking so don't forget to bring plenty of bottled water.
Broken figurine on livingroom table... I took a pic to prove we didn't break it. A/C and fans kept it nice and cool.
Beds were comfy.
The house does not supply any beach equipment so bring chairs, beach cart etc. Beach bar was great fun... and you can hear the bands from the back deck.
Overall... had agreat bday weekend.

So glad you loved the location for your Labor Day Birthday Weekend, Laura! It really is a fantastic spot. Thank you for allowing us to host your stay at Phoenix Rising! We appreciate the compliments, feedback and tips for future guests.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. We love Surfside! The location was great with easy beach access down the street. The multiple decks were amazing for enjoying beach views without sand. However, with this property being pet friendly it would have been helpful to have a permanent swinging gate on the main deck.
Several maintenance issues were unappealing. The outside shower head had a lot of algae growing off of it. The tub/shower faucet in one of the upstairs bedrooms was corroded and made it impossible to turn the shower head off and run bath water. The water sprayer in the kitchen sink also could not be used due to corrosion.
Even though the booklet inside said that professional pest treatment is used at the house we saw too many live roaches in the kitchen to believe that.
If you are wanting a beach themed house this is not for you, as the house is decorated more like a rental in NOLA.

Thank you for allowing us to host your stay, Sarah, We're happy to hear you enjoyed this amazing seaside spot and pet-friendly aspect. As for the outdoor shower and faucet, we'll certainly check those both out, and we're sorry for any inconvenience as a result. We haven't had any other guests mention either. As for the roaches, yes, all our homes are on regular professional pest control treatments. However, when a storm (and especially when coupled with a pending surge in the case of your stay) is brewing, creatures including roaches head for higher ground and would rather risk the prevention treatments than get swept away and drown. Annoying but understandable for self preservation even in the bug world. Thanks again for your compliments and feedback!
