We enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and as described. Our only concern was the lack of supplies needed for the trip. Such as, there was only 1 trash bag and the dishes soap was almost empty . The dishes that were put away were still dirty so I had to hand wash everything before I used it. The inside of the house had a stagnant urine smell that was pretty strong.

Relaxing vacation getaway

This was our first time down to Surfside. This place was a PERFECT spot. Only seconds from the beach, spacious enough for the kids and I. Front porch was perfect for coffee in the mornings. We will most certainly be back and hope to stay here again.

The host was very helpful but it was undisclosed when we booked the house that the water was disgusting and unusable. We had to check out a day early because my husband was unable to shower on the property.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the water system affected your stay. The property uses a well with a filtration system, and while there is no health danger, we recommend purchasing water for drinking and cooking. This guidance was shared in the messages before check-in. We did our best to assist during your stay, and we appreciate your comments as we continue improving for future guests.

We stayed at this property for the 4th of July weekend. All was well. Let me just suggest you bring LOT'S mosquito repellent. They were horrible in the area.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. The unexpected water leak was promptly repaired, and I understand how frustrating that must have been for you. I also apologize that laundry detergent was not restocked in time and that you experienced an issue with the hot water near the end of your stay. We’ve since taken additional steps to ensure better follow-up from our maintenance and supply teams so this doesn’t happen again. I appreciate your patience and understanding, and I’m glad you took the time to share this, it helps us continue to improve for future guests.

Perfect last minute vacation

We decided on a last minute trip to Surfside (our 3rd consecutive trip here with a VRBO) and are so glad we decided to stay here! This has by far been our favorite location alongside the beach with just a short 4 minute walk and great view of the coast. The home provided more than enough space for our family of 5. The big kids enjoyed the bunk house and the baby had plenty of room in either room for a portable crib. The kitchen was well stocked, the sofa was comfy and the house was clean. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Awesome Beach House

Awesome cottage nestled just steps away from the beach, I cannot express how delighted I was with the entire experience. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, every aspect of this cottage exceeded my expectations. The location of the cottage is simply idyllic, I could literally see my kids walk to the beach from the deck. Being so close to the beach allowed me to indulge in breathtaking sunsets, leisurely strolls on the shore, and the soothing sounds of crashing waves throughout my stay. It was an oasis of tranquility that offered a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The attention to detail was remarkable, from the carefully chosen furnishings to the BBQ grill and a well-stocked kitchen that had everything I needed to prepare meals. Also, the owner of the cottage was incredibly accommodating and responsive...just a great overall experience. Will definitely come back again soon.
