"Miramar Beach Villas Unit 119" SurfSide Serendipity, Spacious, Luxury Beach House, Sleeps 10!

This truly was a vacation. 4 Adults and 4 children ages 5, 6, 9, 11. We drove from Columbus Ohio and Wheeling West Virginia. Your pool was amazing and the very short walk over to the Ocean was nice, By the way, people are very friendly and always let you cross the street. We never once experienced rude drivers on the street to the beach. The house was so nice every room had a television and shower. Air conditioning was nice and we never set it under 70 the whole time we stayed at the Villa. We took advantage of the grill twice and cooked steak, fish and shrimp on the grill. Bought locally at Winn Dixie and fresh seafood place behind Winn Dixie.

We loved getting up, getting coffee, going to beach and back to pool. The shower near the beach steps were nice along with the shower before you get into pool.

The Condo family room is a nice size and its as soon as you walk in front door, Behind that is a dining table and very nice kitchen. We did take advantage on those new mixing bowls. Refrigerator is nice size and they are right it doesn't make a lot of ice, But we always kept ice in freezer we bought at Winn-Dixie. My only compliant in the whole Condo was the mattress in the first floor bedroom and second floor bedroom near front of house could be changed out, You could tell they have been used for a little bit and probably could be replaced. I could live with it though.

A few tips for future guests:

1. You don't need to bring towels they are furnished and can be washed.

2. Eat in with your family a few nights this place is family friendly

3. Internet is very nice and speed is good.

4. Best breakfast was Another broken egg Café

5. Lulus is a tourist trap

6. Surf hut had good Ribs.

7 Lastly, driving outside of Miramar is a disaster anytime after 5pm. Avoid at all costs and enjoy your pool, beach and condo.

To summarize our week stay: wonderful! We stayed with 4 adults and 5 kids (all under 6). The property overall was very nice, clean and extremely enjoyable. Kids LOVED the bunks with TVs. The location can not be beat for the price, as the ocean and pool are definitely within walking distance. The kitchen is very nice as are the 2 master suites (see further below). The kitchen has adequate frying pans and cookie /pizza pans, but could use some mixing bowls and a larger sauce pan or two (as a previous comment noted). We had a ruined frying pan which was replaced within 12 hrs with zero hassle. All the beds were nice and also comfortable, as far as rental properties go. My wife and I had zero back discomfort after a week long stay. If you have an extremely picky mattress need - renting isn't for you. Also - to those looking - there are 6 beach chairs and 1 umbrella that come with this property (no need to rent if this works for you). There is also a set of beach toys (small buckets, sand molds, shovel) and a large wheeled wagon to haul everything. I purchased a net for the beach because my kids loved catching small minnows with it - and left it there for others. The AC was adequate - 2 units (1 for 1st and 2nd floors and 1 for the 3rd floor). They ran continuously and did not freeze up, with avg temps 85-90. I imagine AC problems exist everywhere in FL but we had none. All bedrooms have ceiling fans as well (but the 2nd floor master suite could use a new fan as the highest setting is really a medium speed setting). I would say the 2nd floor master had the most issues with temperature because it doesn't have a dedicated AC zone for it. None of our party were hot or uncomfortable however.

To address a few things:

1) Previous negative comments below: someone mentioned "small" master suites. I would disagree. I feel that the 2nd floor master (has the full master bath suite as well) is very spacious. It might feel smaller if you are used to a master bedroom of 30 x 30 feet. For a vacation rental property it is great. The 3rd floor master suite is also spacious, but as the pictures show - has a normal full bath - not the bathroom suite.

2) Someone mentioned "one person kitchen". Again - I disagree. The kitchen is very nice, but is smaller due to the 3 story layout. 2 people can work easily, 3 gets crowded. No complaints from us.

Things that could be improved: more sauce pans, mixing bowls, new disposal (sounds rough).

5/5, A- rental, we will be back!

Overall we were pleased with the villa. There was plenty of room, it was clean and had all we needed for the beach. Loved hanging out at the pool. Couple things - the jetted tub in the master suite was broken/outdated and the ice maker was too small and you had to remember to empty it if you wanted more ice. Also, the kitchen could’ve used a set of mixing bowls.

The kitchen is best described as a one-man kitchen. All rooms were on the small size. My wife and I stayed on the 3rd floor & at 80 that was a real challenge, especially with suit cases. Location was perfect for us. They should have used the balconies for more space inside the house.

Wonderful place with beach equipment and less than a minute from beach. All 4 bedrooms have a balconey and bathroom.
