About this property

Three bedrooms w/ sleeping loft and three full bathrooms, outdoor shower with hot and cold water.

One of the best features is the huge deck that overlooks the beach and the bay. It offers amazing views of sunrises and sunsets. Another plus is the gas grill located on the deck (so you don't have to go downstairs to cook), plus plenty of seating.

There is great lighting and music on the deck to make it the perfect evening hang out, plus it's high enough up that mosquitoes are rarely an issue.

Another great feature is the kitchen. With a full size refrigerator and full size freezer there is plenty of room to store enough food to cook all of your meals. Plenty of pots and pans even a crockpot, ninja blender and grill plate are provided. The huge island doubles as a dining table and has seating for 8. A great place for everyone to gather around and help cook or just hang out and play games.

We want you to have plenty of things to do, so we provide a washer toss game, corn hole, bocci ball, dominoes and a shuffleboard table.

There are three full bathrooms plus an outdoor shower with hot and cold water. We have two large hot water heaters and have never heard of anyone running out of hot water. It is so much better to have three bathrooms when you are traveling with a large group and our house makes it easy for everyone to get ready quickly or rinse off after a day at the beach.

The drinking water quality isn't the best in Surfside, so we have upgraded our water filtration to 6 whole house filters designed specially for the water here…including an arsenic filter. We also have a reverse osmosis system that supplies pure water to a hot and cold drinking dispenser is also auto fills the ice maker and Keurig. We sincerely want you to feel like you are staying at a friends house...not a rental property.

Fantastic!!!

I can't say enough good things about this property and our experience staying there. It is SO WELL equipped--all the beach gear you need is there (plus more), every appliance you could imagine, basic spices and seasonings, plus the filtered water system was awesome. It is more like staying in a home than a rental, and the owner was kind, generous, and communicative, treating us more like a guest than a customer. After years of staying in various properties in Surfside, I'll now be disappointed if I have to stay anywhere else!

Perfect balance

We loved this property. We’ve been coming to Surfside for 5 years and have stayed on both the public and private side. This is a great location. Walkable, and close enough to see and hear the ocean. It’s on the public side, but far enough from the crowd. House was adorable and well stocked.

Tiki House is Perfect

Tiki House was super clean and beautifully decorated. The house was well stocked with supplies as well as things for the beach. The Host made us feel very welcome and checked in to make sure everything was going good. Grandparents, kids and grandkids had a great time. Thank you Mike for making it a wonderful get away.

Fun Family Getaway

We loved staying at this house! We had everything we needed and then some. The beds were comfortable and the deck was amazing. It was easy to walk to and from the beach. The owner was attentive and was easy to reach. This was a great house for a family getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Whitson

House was purchased in 2008...then my neighbor burned my house down (he burned his too). Rebuilt it in 2013 and made it just the way we wanted it. We didn't rent it out for the first 8 years we had it but decided it was so much fun that we wanted to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

We decided to make this a "smart house". We have smart locks, AC, speakers and lights. All of which can be controlled by "Alexa" or by the provided tablet. You can have music inside as well as out on the deck...you can have different music in each area or combine them to have the same in both. Most of the lights are also controlled by Alexa...just tell her to turn the lights on or which specific light you want on or off...do you need all of that to have fun at a beach house? Probably not....but it is a lot more fun with it! Plus she can tell you the weather for the day, cooking recipes or where to go eat. We also included a full size refrigerator and full size freezer...plenty of space to store food and drinks. We use the house so we make sure it has everything you need to enjoy the beach. From beach games to a crock pot and ninja blender. We also provide beach chairs, beach umbrella and an outdoor speaker you can take to the beach. It really cuts down on the things you need to bring.
