We got an early check in, thanks to our Great Host, Kat! Spent our 40th anniversary here this weekend. House was perfect! Everything we needed was there. Only question we had was why was there no tv in the bedroom? It ended up ok because there was one in the bedroom with the twin beds. Queen bed was super comfy! We walked the beach and even went and explored the Fort. We downloaded the “Vessels” app and as we sat out on the beautiful deck we could see where the ships were from, coming into the harbor! Lots of fun! The house was super cute and very clean. The ONLY problem was the fact that the perfect weekend went by way too fast! We can’t wait til we can come back.

Amazing little house and location!

This property was great to stay with small kids and a teen who all love being at the beach 24/7! It was so easy to walk down to the beach with nothing and be able to come back to the house for breaks, showers and naps. The house was cute, clean and had everything we needed. We plan to book again soon!

Nice little place!

It is a nice little place steps away from the water. Short walk to the jetty and park. Only complaint is the driveway, the sand is soft and if you are in a small vehicle you might have trouble, my truck has no problems. Already looking to rebook the Surf Rider in coming months!!!

My family & I love Surfside, we spend a lot of family time together either on the beach, going for beach/pier walks, enjoying BBQ's, and have made many special family fun memories.

Why they chose this property

Surf Rider is perfect for us as its so close to the beach, we also enjoy sitting in the captain chairs watching ships come in and out of the port.
