Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Sharkies on the Beach) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination.

Great beach front !! Literally steps away from the door. Easy check in and out. A few more kitchen towels and 2 more paper towels for those that cook would have been perfect. Super clean beaches !
We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Big Blue Beautiful Beach House in Surfside! Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments and being such lovely guests to host!
They say in Real Estate the three important aspects is Location, Location, Location and this is also true in Vacation Rentals.This Beach House is huge on the inside. Although we only slept 8 people, there was room for twice as many. It’s like having 2 apartments with a shared kitchen and dining room. The whole place was super clean and everything was functional. Very tastefully decorated that had a great Beach feel to it.The elevator was wonderful for bringing everything in and taking it all back out when leaving No carrying luggage and such up 3 flights of stairs. This was a major added bonus!The Hot Tub was another nice touch. Easy to operate and the perfect way to end the day.All of this was great, but the service and communication with January at 979, the Company that operates the Property really made the entire experience exceptional.We had a self-inflicted issue after leaving Sunday morning.I reached out to January via text and figured I would hear back from her Monday during normal business hours as it was trivial.She got back with me within 15 minutes, had already contacted the Property Owners and resolved the issue. I have never received that quick of a response from a Management Company let alone on Sunday morning.Thank you January!I feel the biggest plus you can leave in a Review is whether of not you will use the Product or Service again.We will be staying at this property again in the future.

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful (and fun to read!) review. You had us smiling the whole way through—especially your “Location, Location, Location” kickoff… it doesn’t get more spot-on than that.
We’re so glad our Big Blue gave you that “two apartments in one” feel with plenty of space to spread out, and that all the little details—from the elevator assist to the hot tub wind-downs—helped make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. That’s exactly the experience we hope every guest walks into.
And your kind words about January truly made us blush. She (and the whole crew) takes great pride in being responsive and helpful, no matter the day or time. Life happens, even after checkout, so we’re always happy to jump in and help however we can.
But the real headline for us? Hearing that you’d come back. That’s the kind of compliment we never take for granted, and we’d absolutely love to host you again!
Until then, we’ll keep the beach house ready and waiting for your next round of “Location, Location, Location.
This was our 24th annual family beach trip and this house was one of the best - 2 minutes from house to beach. It is a very spacious house with plenty of room for large groups of all ages. Good size bedrooms and large common areas are a real plus and the kitchen is well equipped with a dining table that seats 14.

Why thank you, and we're delighted the 24th annual beach trip was nothing short of a 10 out of 10 experience, Cathy and family! We appreciate the opportunity to host you and hope to do so again.
We had two good days of weather for beach and they were fantastic accommodations for cooking and everything else was tremendous. We will come again for sure

Agreed! This is really quite the amazing location, thanks so much for noting. We appreciate you allowing the 979 CREW to host you and glad your experience was nothing short of 5-stars! We hope to have you back again!
The house was clean and had plenty of room to hang out. The beds were comfy too. The location was perfect and we loved being able to be on the beach and walk to multiple restaurants down the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

We're so glad you had a great stay Brooke! Thank you for the compliments, tips for future guests, and being such an awesome group to host. We would love to have you back!
We loved the property. There were just a few glitches The light in the pink bedroom with one bunk bed is burned out and I didn't realize that my earbuds had fallen out until I got home since it was dark in the room and plugging a lamp in to turn off/on is not kosher. The only BIG complaint is that when we went to load the dishwasher the smell rotten fish permeated the whole top floor. We ran an empty cycle but it made one of our people sick it was so bad. Also the garbage disposal stank. Cleaning crew needs to check both It’s sad some vacationers do that to properties The battery for the remote for the fireplace is dead; not that big of a deal since one member has a similar fireplace so knew where controls are located but someone else might not. We got a kick out of the elevator I would like my earbuds back if found Thank you so much for the amenities

Thank you sharing both the highlights and concerns from your stay. We’re happy to hear you loved the property and amenities. It is quite the special spot!
We apologize for any dishwasher and disposal odors, darn it, not sure what the cause was, as well as the burned-out light and fireplace remote battery. These items have been shared with our crew to ensure they’re fully addressed going forward.
If your earbuds are found, we’ll gladly contact you. Thank you again for staying with us and allowing us to host you.
Great house! Plenty of space to socialize, a large kitchen and dining table, 2 large decks and a hot tub. Fantastic location - only 100 yards to the restaurant & bar.

Why thank you kindly Laura! We're so glad you had a perfect beachside experience. We would love to have you and your group back again!
This house was great! We had 3 families staying in one house. Loved the indoor elevator. That was a back lifesaver. House was clean and everything worked well. We only had a couple issues with a bunkbed rail being broken and the fire alarm went off for no reason. Maintenence came out and fixed it right away. For our group needs the beds were an odd choice in layout but we made it work. Mattresses definitely need to be replaced but overall it was great. We LOVED the giant table that fit all of us.
This house is beautiful, however it does need some TLC. That being said 979 Properties was amazing in helping us get through most issues…the hot tub was not working and dirty! Several ceiling fan issues. But we had an amazing trip. The view from the decks are beautiful!
Very responsive when we needed maintenance even on a Sunday! Very spacious and comfortable. Suggestion: because the home had an elevator, we assumed the house was handicap friendly. Grab bars around the toilet and inside the shower of the bedroom suite on the main floor(3rd floor) would have been helpful to my wheelchair bound dad. He was only able to give himself a sponge bath while there and required assistance while using the restroom.

We had a fantastic time during our stay. The house was beautiful. It was right on the beach with fantastic views from the decks. The hot tub and elevator were perks that made our stay even more pleasant. The property management was easily contacted and quickly addressed our needs. After years of searching we’ve found where we want to stay every summer!

We had a wonderful stay at this house, which was located right on the beach. The elevator made the move in and out process a lot easier. And there rooms were large, perfect for big families traveling together. The living room was spacious with a large dining table that could seat everyone. Everything was clean and organized. Will stay again!

Perfect home for our group of 13! Rooms are very spacious. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of items to use when preparing and eating meals. Location was extraordinary! Just walk down from the deck and over the dune and you are on the beach. We absolutely love Surfside and will be back again!

Internet went out and Ashley was so helpful to get it repaired. Cynthia came and stayed with the repairman so we could leave. Kitchen was equipped with dishes and utensils. I would like to have more room to have stored items we brought with us. It had elevator which helped with someone with bad back. There was some minor repairs needed such as inside showers missing handles and 2nd floor sliding door would not lock and some lights were out to name a few.

Vicky, thank you for sharing your experience and for your perfect score! We’re so glad Ashley and Cynthia could help get the internet back up quickly so you could enjoy your stay without interruption. It’s great to hear the elevator made things easier and that the kitchen had what you needed. We appreciate your feedback on storage and the minor repairs. We hope to welcome you back for another smooth and relaxing island getaway!
Great property for our annual boys trip. House was very clean and well furnished. Elevator is great considering kitchen is on the third floor. Views are great from both balconies. Great location with restaurant and bar less than 100 yards away. Only two negatives: all pots and pans have warped bottoms, making them very difficult to cook in. The living room TV’s we’re not very useful, one being outdated and unable to support Hulu, and the other just very difficult to operate. I would definitely rent again.

We had a good time. However we were very disappointed with the upkeep. The hot tub never worked (main reason I booked this home). The kitchen faucet was hanging on for dear life. None of the pots were good enough to cook on a ceramic cook top, the regular oven did not work (had to improvise and use the little oven). The reverse osmosis water filter gave us a 1/2 cup of water two times. The dishwasher was difficult to get to run. I have to say the living area and bedrooms were exceptionally large and accommodating. Please give this house an uplift.We do not ever expect perfection when we rent properties, just want the advertised goods to work properly.

We're happy to hear you enjoyed a good time and appreciated this home's cleanliness, configuration, and size, Penny. We hope also loved this home's direct beachfront location! We are, however, disappointed to hear you were disappointed. Regarding the hot tub, respectfully, it couldn't have been the main reason you booked this home. We do not and have not advertised that in the listing this entire year (nor is it pictured) and you booked in March. Should it have been operational, it would have been a bonus. As for the cookware, oven, and dishwasher, we haven't had other guests mention any challenge with them, but we would have gladly helped you out during your stay had you contacted our guest service team. Again, we're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your experience more.
