Property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and is walking distance to everything in the downtown area and near the Surf Ballroom. This property might be the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in.

This is a charming and comfy spot! Within walking distance to the Surf, several restaurants, the lake and just a few blocks to downtown. The bed was great! Even though the town was busy we heard very little noise. The cottage was very clean. The hosts are terrific- so friendly and generous. They really have thought of everything.

This was a great vacation home. The hosts provide everything needed for the beach - chairs, toys, towels, even bikes and strollers. The house itself was adorable with a great beach theme. We had everything we needed to make great breakfasts and dinners. Will definitely stay again!

We stayed for a quick weekend trip. 3rd and Surf was a cute little house, well-maintained, and most importantly, clean! We had all the tools we needed in the kitchen to cook a few meals and plenty of room to be comfortable. We would happily stay here again next time we're in town!
