  • We have been renting homes in the Surfside area for 25 years and really enjoyed our week at Bayview. The proximity to the beach was just right, the boat ramp just a few yards from the house was great for our boat and allowed us quiok access to the Intracoastal canal. We caught approx. 50 crabs in our crab traps right on the pier at the house. We plan to come back.

  • Stayed here in Sept 2007, and LOVED the place. We have rented houses on the beach side several times previously, and the bay side was GREAT. The house was clean with large rooms and good beds. The deck was wonderful. Loved the pier with the fishing and crabbing. The birds were the best! Always figured we'd come back. Hope the house survived the storm and that Surfside recovers fast.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks, Susan. There has been a lot of damage in Surfside but we were fortunate and just suffered some damage. We hope to have it up and ready for rentals soon.

  • This was our second time we rented the Bayview. We were very happy both times we stayed there. The house is large and very clean and comfortable. We took our entire family (and their kids)and dog. We were very comfortable. Everyone loved the pier with convenient crabbing and fishing. The beach is very close, but the house is also a close drive to restaurants and even more beaches. I have nothing but good things to say about this beach house. We had such a great time both times we went. (Sept. '07 and July '08) We plan to return next summer!

  • I'm going back! Wonderful beds! Room for two sets of parents and four kids each to sleep comfortably. Kids have their own television if you want them to. Great fishing/crabbing pier right there. Easy walk (5 minutes) to the beach or drive up onto it (1 minute). Great weekend that I needed.

  • My family which totaled 6 adults and 4 kids stayed 4 days and 3 nights. Our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer! The rooms in the house are HUGE and at no point did we feel cramped as you do in so many rentals. The fishing was fantastic as was the quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend this house for rental!

  • A week at Bayview for a vacation just before school started could not have been more fun for our group of 7 which included my Granddaughter and a friend, both 8 years old. Her Grandfather, Uncle and his friend were kept busy baiting hooks and extracting fish from them almost non-stop; Even when T.S.Erin blew in and caused the fish to dine elsewhere, nothing deterred the crabs and a seafood feast Friday night was enjoyed by all. The house was spacious and afforded a beautiful view of the bay while inside and its shady lower level provided excellent views of the fishing pier and beautiful sunsets. Quiet and close to the beach; Bayview has it all.

  • We stayed for a full 7 days (arrived on a Friday night & left on the next Saturday morning) and I can't remember a vacation that was more pleasurable. The beds were comfortable, the rooms large and the kitchen very well appointed. The washer/dryer came in so handy with all the beach towels. We are such outdoors people and throughly enjoyed the breeze underneath the house where we sat up our chairs and just enjoyed the massive view of the bay. Our grandchildren were never bored (ages 6, 8 & two 9year olds). My husband is confined to a wheelchair and everything was very accessible. He loved fishing from the pier and I couldn't keep him away from it. We used the crab traps every day and got over 100 crabs that were keeper size and had 3 crab boils during our stay. It was so nice to not have to bring a b-b-q pit with us and to have use of the one provided. Very nice size pit as we fed over 12 people every night. Every guest that came and stayed(many of them in wheelchairs) were so impressed. Also, all of the neighbors are extremely friendly and very helpful. One of the neighbor's daughters stayed and played with my grandchildren all one day and fit in nicely with our family. One neighbor put on a fireworks display that was spectacular. What more can I say than I loved, loved, LOVED it. We will definitely be back in October for a quick weekend and hopefully be back for a week every summer here after. Thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful place.

  • Our stay at Bayview was perfect! We loved the view from the deck and the house was so roomy and comfortable! We look forward to renting it again as soon as we can get away!

  • This place is GREAT! Better than the pictures and the description. I rented this for my son's birthday and allowed him to bring 4 friends. And I'm talking teenagers. They loved it and I never felt crowded in this house-very spacious. The walk to the beach is hardly worth mentioning-doesn't take any time at all. The private pier was a treat. We caught all kinds of things, including a stingray. The kitchen is fully stocked and very large. I honestly don't have one bad word to say about our stay at Bayview. We're already planning on doing it again next summer.
