Very family friendly and well equipped/appointed (even had k-cups for the Keurig!). Close walk to beach access (less than a block). Host was excellent and responsive to communication. Definitely worth the stay!

Robert, we are so happy to hear your group enjoyed our home! Surfside is such an amazing area with easy beach access. We would love to host your group again sometime :)
The property was as described, there were a few hiccups in the beginning but the owner immediately jumped into action to rectify the situation and fix them. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back!

Kasi, thank you for your review! We are glad we were able to rectify the situation fast!
The house has everything that is listed on the website. However it would be nice if they would have cards, board games ect.. and it would be nice if they left the pool floats, beach chairs, cooler, ect. that are left behind for the next guest to use. The location of the house is awesome! Right off the beach and a 1 mile walk to the pier were there are restaurants and shopping! The beach/ocean is beautiful no seaweed or rocks, excellent swimming. We definitely would go back.

Jacqui, thank you so much for your review!! We will absolutely take your review into consideration. We are glad your group enjoyed the home's location and proximity to the beach :)
It was a wonderful layout for our group of 10 . Plenty of comfortable beds and full baths . The down side was the very stained carpet and dirty walls and doors (white doors and woodwork ) and woodwork throughout that needs a good cleaning . There is very little water pressure in the bathroom tubs and showers . We could have used some baking dishes for casseroles and measuring spoons and storage containers for left overs . The pools lights for nighttime swimming were out until 2 nights before we left ; however our host was very quick to respond and contacted the necessary people to eventually get the issue taken care of.The location to the beach was wonderful and a very quick easy walk for even us grandparents . We were also close to grocery stores and restaurants . We all enjoyed the pool on those hot afternoons and the beach cart , wagon and chairs were perfect to have on hand . Thank you for the great vacation home . I think a good cleaning and new carpet would make a huge improvement! Our host was wonderful at responding all hours of the day and even offered to give us a code to the supply closet for batteries and light bulbs .

Sheila, thank you so much for your review! We are glad to hear you had an overall positive experience at our home, aside for some minor issues.
We do recognize that the carpet is a little stained, and we plan on putting new flooring in the future, but for now we clean it the best we can in between stays!
As for the water pressure, if everyone showers at the same time the pressure is unfortunately a little less, however we will continue to monitor this!
We have already taken the necessary steps to add measuring cups, baking dishes, and storage containers, and we are continually going behind our cleaners to do extra deep cleans. We would love to host your group again next year and exceed your expectations!
