One of the best properties AND property owners in Port A. Perfectly maintained upscale property at a very reasonable price point. Owners are extremely gracious and I would highly recommend it!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was beautiful and very clean. The location was spectacular. Close to the beach and downtown for restaurants. Would love to stay here again.
We had another great time at Surf Betty. Location is great - close to town, but also very peaceful. Dipping pool came in very handy with the heat and humidity after a day at the beach.
Surf Betty is a fantastic house with very unique features. It’s a highly functional layout with everything you could possibly need on vacation. Will definitely consider staying here again!
Surf Betty was such a great experience. From the beautiful layout of the house to the outdoor pool area. You will not be disappointed with this lovely property, especially dealing with the host/owner who was extremely responsive. We look forward to our next visit. Thanks for the memories

Melissa was such a great guest at our property. Everything was clean and in great shape! She would be a great guest for any host. Thanks Melissa!
We have come for the last 6 years and always stay at Surf Betty. It is a perfect place to stay near the beach but also a lovely escape. We always plan a weekend here and love it. Wonderful home and wonderful hosts. 😘
The minute we walked into Surf Betty we knew we had made a great choice on a vacation rental. All the furnishings and amenities were first class. The pool was small but according to my 3 and 6 year old granddaughters “this is the best pool ever.” We will be staying again in the future
The Surf Betty did not disappoint!!! Beautiful property. All of the amenities. A lovely home away from home where you can lounge in and outside of the pool. We enjoyed several of our meals outdoors. Can’t wait to come back for another stay.

So sweet! Glad the Surf Betty did not disappoint :-)
Could not have picked a better property to take our kids to their first beach vacation! The house and location were just perfect. Beach in the morning as soon as the kids woke up. Pool in the afternoon after nap time. We rented a golf cart and could get to everything in town in less than 5 minutes. We might return every summer and stay at the Surf Betty!

Thank you for the awesome review. I am so glad your kids enjoyed their first trip to the beach! Great memories :-)
Many times when looking to book a stay somewhere, things may not always be exactly what you expect. This property does not disappoint in the slightest bit. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to stay. Even the communication with the host goes above and beyond. There is a reason that they have a perfect rating.

SO SWEET!
Thank you for your kind words. Love to have you & your friends back to the Surf Betty again :-)
4 adults for 4 days, property as described. Wonderfully appointed....plenty of towels, kitchen supplies, comfortable environment, not lacking anything we needed. Dipping Pool is small but a welcome addition.
Slight glitch with internet delayed getting code, but owner was very responsive and worked through it quickly.

Thank you for the kind review. I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay!
The entire property was absolutely beautiful! No detail was spared on this home. Although the rain limited our beach time this weekend, we were able to enjoy the fantastic plunge pool and outdoor patio on our first night.
Our group enjoyed lots of cooking together,
as some lounged on the oversized sofa and watched movies in between naps. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We
were conveniently located to everything.
Communication with the host was great. Everyone in our party of 8 would love to visit
SurfBetty again.

Hope you guys get a chance to come back again!
We had a great time at Surf Betty. Having a pool to look forward to after a day at the beach is a good thing! You placed the patio just right to have shade at the hotest part of the day! Our last dinner was at the table on the patio as we enjoyed the sea breeze with our dinner.

Love the review! Thank you for taking the time to let us know how much you enjoyed your stay :-)
Communication was top notch from booking to check-out. We had a small family reunion here and all ages enjoyed the property. The location/access to the beach is unbeatable. The pool was a pleasant surprise, refreshing in the evenings.

Surf Betty was a great beach house with a great location! It had all the amenities we needed. There were two couples and my 13 year old son. Thanks for going above and beyond to let us get in a bit early to get my son’s medication in the refrigerator. We would love to come back and stay!
