Thank you for your kind words, Hailey! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the great location and found our vacation home Surf and Sand Mission Beach, well furnished with everything you needed for a beach getaway. We hope to host you again soon for another relaxing trip!
Check in was easy and the hosts answered my questions in a prompt manner. The Kitchen was modern the place was very clean the roof top deck was awesome. spent a lot of time up there for sunsets and coffee in the mornings. Most things are walk close.Literally the sand is 40 yards from the garage. The beach is not as busy straight out from the home more busy down by Belmont Park so that was nice.I will stay with Bluewater Vacation Homes again they were great through the whole process.

Group of friends that meet annually. Consensus was that this was one of the best properties. Clean, well stocked, great location, garage, easy manager to work with. Lots of stairs, but that is how you get the killer view from the rooftop.

Our stay was awesome! Roof top deck can see the beach and miles of ocean! You can also see Sea World fireworks on nights they have them. Very calm part of the beach. Plenty of space even on the weekend! Great spot! I would recommend to anyone!

It's great to know that you were able to witness the Sea World fireworks and have plenty of space even on weekends. Thank you for recommending us, we appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back soon
This is the perfect location for a relaxing beach vacation. The property was clean and the rooftop balcony allowed for amazing views of ocean sunsets. The variety of restaurants and activities in Belmont Park means that everything you need is within walking distance. We also appreciated the garage space since parking in the area is difficult to find.

We escaped the heat for a few days and found the perfect spot. Location was perfect. The top deck was incredible, day and night. We biked everywhere. Never moved our vehicle all weekend! The place was super comfortable and clean. The multiple levels make it a great spot if you want to spread out. We will ge back!

This is a nice house and the management company is very proactive. The only downside for us was that the neighborhood is very loud and there is no AC so if you close the windows to block out the noise so you can sleep it gets very hot.

This is a large 3-floor place steps from the beach. You get a parking garage, I believe 3 rooms with the master suite being pretty large. The second and third floor has belcanies with tables and chairs so you can enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee while listening to the waves crashing. The only downside is you don’t have a view of the ocean until you go up to the roof top. I found the rough top to be the best area to enjoy the views and soak up the sun if you don’t want to be at the beach. A lot of these rental companies down allow you to smoke on their property, but you can walk along the board walk where no one cares.

I'll be back!
From the rooftop deck you can see both the ocean and the bay!
There is a coffee shop, two markets, three "restaurants" and two bars less than a block away.
Easy walking distance to Belmont Park. (my three year old made it easily).
The house itself: beautiful! bedrooms are nice! lots of space! Kitchen is functional. Why I am not giving 5 stars, the kitchen didn't have any extras, no spices/seasoning there was a keurig on the counter so I went a bought k-cups from the market (for $14) and then the keurig didn't work. I emailed the rental agency about the keurig and didn't even get a response.
Another negative, I have stayed at other beach rentals and the house had sand chairs, toys, bikes, body boards etc. this house had NOTHING! Not one beach accessory!
The only other comment I have, is that it is 4 flights of stairs. I didn't mind it, but my friend did have physical issues climbing the 4 flights day in and out and was limited to his access to the house because of that. In combo with that comment, the bunk beds are on the first floor and it was unnerving to leave my sleeping children on the first floor and be on the 4th, (next time I would bring a baby monitor).
We had a wonderful time! two of the neighbors live there full time and they were wonderful to chat with. Other renters around were friendly.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking time to review your stay. We are so glad you enjoyed the home and location. We're sorry that the Keurig didn't work for you. That is the owners personal machine and we stock all of our homes with regular drip coffee makers guaranteed to work. Regardless, you should have received a response! We will be happy to reimburse you for the $14.00 for your inconvenience.
We make sure the listings and pre-arrival instructions mention that we do not stock the homes with any food stuffs or beach equipment. Food stuffs used by other guests could present a health concern and often times, beach equipment is lost by guests or broken or dirty, disappointing the next arriving guest. Instead, Bluewater has arranged discounts with local beach rental shops that will deliver custom orders right to your door.
The home is 3 levels with a rooftop deck so there are stairs to navigate for sure. We will enhance the listing to make it more clear for future guests.
Thank you again! Your feedback helps us improve our service and let's others better understand the home they will be renting. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
Great location, nice house, very good Management Company
Rented over the Thanksgiving holiday to share with friends. The kitchen is well appointed. Able to cook a thanksgiving meal for 7 - they even left us some foil pans and other goodies. The location was great and view from the roof terrace fantastic. Had a few issues with the unit (hot water heater and furnace) but the management company was Johnny-on-the-Spot with text and telephone communication. Stuff happens and we were able to get issues corrected pretty rapidly all during the holiday, so no knock down in rating from me.
