we've stayed her twice. Really like the house. Unfortunately this time the beach & ocean were filled with trash.

Thanks for the return trip! We LOVE our repeat guests! That's too bad about the beach and water. It's normally amongst the most pristine in the area. The county clears the beach regularly, but periodic rainstorms can churn things up (incl coastal trash from those pesky litter bug types, sadly).

Wonderfully beautiful, clean and close beach house

Our family of four enjoyed this house. We have stayed at treasure island every summer for the past five summers and this house has been our best one yet. The proximity to the beach is just about as close as you can get. The house is so tastefully decorated and clean. It rained almost the whole weekend so it was nice to be in a nice house!

Quick communication with the host. House is getting a little worn in areas but overall clean and comfortable. Beds are new and soft, we prefer firmer mattresses but they were definitely ok. Water pressure in the showers was great and heated up quickly. Filter water from the fridge was clean and tasted good. Loved the fire pit! Lots of outdoor seating. Super close to the beach. A very nice stay.

Nice location and house

The house is adorable. Stocked kitchen to cook in and enjoy. My only complaint is the downstairs bedroom doesnt have a working TV. I like to watch some TV before falling asleep. Otherwise location is amazing and house is comfy

Why thank you and appreciate you noting, we too think this is an adorable beach house and in a great location! We checked the TV in the main floor bedroom, as well as the other 3 in fact, and all are working and streaming as intended. Our field hospitality team actually confirms all TVs are functioning on arrival day. Perhaps you had the wrong input? We would have been happy to assist you had your contacted our Guest Service Team - we're here to help. Thank you again for allowing us to host you!

Please do not stay here ! We walked into a very unclean house for the weekend. Couch was covered in some sort of animal hair. You did not want to even sit on it ! House smelled of cigarette smoke ! The downstairs bathroom had hair and pee all over the toilet . Beds had sand in them.! Pictures were all outdated house was not at all what we thought we were renting ! To make matters worse when we tried to get ahold of landlords nobody would call back very u professional and poorly run ! Not recommended at all. ! Save your money. !

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug 2026
We’re sorry this guest felt this way, but the public review leaves out some very important facts. At no point during the stay did the guest contact us to report cleanliness concerns, cigarette odor, sand in the beds, or any other issue. Had we been given the opportunity, we would have addressed a legitimate concern promptly. The issue was never the ability to reach us. Instead, after completing their stay without reporting these concerns, the guest remained in the home approximately three hours past checkout and only raised these allegations afterward while seeking a refund. We take cleanliness and guest concerns seriously, which is precisely why we ask guests to contact us during their stay so we can investigate and make things right when something is genuinely wrong. We cannot correct an issue we are never told about and assume most of this, if not all, was fabicated. To put it another way: it’s a little like eating an entire meal at a restaurant while the server checks on you, saying everything is fine, then finishing the meal, walking out with the silverware, and afterward demanding a refund because the meal wasn’t satisfactory. That’s not an opportunity to resolve a problem. That’s an attempt to rewrite the experience after the fact. We stand behind our housekeeping team and the condition of our home at the time of this stay, and we believe future guests deserve the full picture rather than only one side of the story.

Perfection!

What a fantastic, much needed get-away! Across the Pass could not have been a more relaxing, well maintained, beautiful vacation home. Not to mention the absolute perfect location . . . . Quiet, relaxing and often times one of the few people on the beach. Had we had the opportunity to stay longer we would have! Property mangement was superb as far as communication was concerned and left several personal touches around the home to welcome us. Thank You!

A Stay To Remember

Stayed here during my daughter’s cheer tournament and brought the whole family. Just what I expected and more! We loved being steps away from the ocean, the balconies, and all the rooms. We especially loved the overstocked kitchen! We had everything we needed to cook every meal. We loved to too our evenings with S’mores on the balcony fire pit. My only complaint is that we had a few power outages but we were able to flip the main breaker to resolve the issue. Gets a little hot in the house.

We're so glad you enjoyed your seaside experience during your daughter's tournament time, Christopher! It sounds like lots of fun memories were made. As for the power, unfortunately, that was an issue with Centerpoint not the home itself, sorry for any inconvenience as a result. The good news as is resolved now. We hope to host you again!

Beautiful Beach house close to beach

Overall the house was great! Nice furnishings, decorations, sleeping areas, etc., but a little sparse on kitchen items, no beach towels, etc. Also, not the owners fault, but beach access is a little more difficult than it was the last time we stayed in the area. The walkover at the end of the street in front of the house is fenced off now and you either have to walk under someone else's house or walk through a large lot of unmowed grass at the back to get to the access. We brought our golf cart but there is only one way to enter the beach with a cart, and that entrance was so deep with soft sand that all the carts kept getting stuck. Again, not the owner's fault, but it does make a difference if close beach access is important. Outdoor warm shower is great! I loved the decks to sit out and to view the ocean. Washer & dryer is handy and TVs in every room with Direct TV was nice. Overall we had a very nice time and enjoyed the house.

Appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review and glad you enjoyed your stay! We agree, it is a beautiful beach. :) Don't know when you were last in the area, but the access at the end of Buccaneer got closed off by the storms. Interestingly, a new access point was formed in that same storm. Now, there is access from 2 spots on the next street over. The Guest Guide in the home has an aerial image of the island with access point identified, so guests don't accidentally trespass on private property. Thanks for your suggestion on additional kitchen items. Will share accordingly. As for the beach towels, we suggest you bring on the inventory list we provide before your stay. Far too many towels got legs and walked away or were damaged from prior guests.

Great house, great location, great host!

We had an awesome family spring break at Across the Pass. The house was perfect; very clean and well appointed. We especially liked the welcome gift basket. The neighborhood was great, full of families. Aside from the waves, it was very quiet and secluded! The outdoor shower was not working during out stay. We let 979 know and despite plumbing material shortages due to the recent freezes, they were able to come out the next day and repair the shower for us! Thanks for everything.

Wonderful home

This was my 2nd time staying at this lovely home. And 6th time in this neighborhood over the last 5 years. This house is just perfect out of all the houses we have stayed. We love the location and the views. The little decorations are also a great touch. It just fits our family and we feel at home. The neighbors are also very friendly as well. Thank you for allowing us into your home. We will be back.

Perfect location, Great views

Love this house, it's in the perfect location. Very short walk to the beach. Great views from the 2 decks & some of the windows. Cute... love the decor. Clean & spacious. The little welcome basket even included a treat for my dog. :) The cable was out during our stay, but it didn't bother me personally... a note was left to let us know. Will definitely return to this house!

Best beach in Surfside

This house is a very short walk from the beach (the entrance is maybe 2 houses away) and because there is no nearby car beach access there are very few cars parked or driving on the beach, in contrast to the west end of Surfside (golf carts are there). House was clean with plenty of kitchen tools, we enjoyed the upper deck to watch the sunset and it was very comfortable for our family of four plus dog. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Place

I love this place and the location. It was clean and comfy. It has both a Keurig and a coffee maker. It has a crock pot too. Plenty of Kitchen stuff. The only negative I can think of is they did not have but a few glasses to drink out of. I did email them and they got us 4 glasses from the dollar store the next afternoon. So make sure and bring some Solo cups.

We enjoyed the house and the beach. We found that there are few things that need to added to list; More kitchen towels are needed, hand soap, kitchen needs big skillet and new pot holders. Add there is a coffee maker. Sign on the house needs to be painted. it was hard to read . More instruction on changing TV control to dvd player in living room.

overall the stay was great. the bigger beds where very comfortable (most comfortable i've experienced in renting) and having the beach in walking distance was great. only down side was the amount of mosquitoes which isn't the fault of the place.
