We had a great stay at the Rock House for the holiday weekend and to celebrate our 4 yr olds birthday. The house was perfect for our family and our pets. The property manager was very helpful and always responded quickly when I had questions. I highly recommended and we will definitely be back!

A great place

We loved our stay here. Plenty of towels and space and the beds were pretty comfortable. The a/c worked great and there are fans in the rooms too which we loved. It was an easy walk to the beach and the deck was lovely. A couple of notes: we are used to making food vs going out, and there weren’t a lot of dishes / utensils for that, but we got by. The dishes in the cabinet weren’t clean but I think that was more that they were loaded into the dishwasher pretty dirty and it didn’t catch everything, so we had to hand wash everything before we used them. These are all really minor things that wouldn’t stop us from booking again, but just for anyone using it in the future. We love Surfside and can’t wait to come back.

The Rock House

The house itself was great, very nice furnishings and clean. The yard was great for the fur babies and the deck was good. However there was no laundry soap, no dishwasher soap, no water in fridge, no drinks, no coffee pods as this was all in the information that was sent me. Had issues connecting to internet and trouble getting the code correct. Will I book this property again, no I will not stay here again.

Annual Family Vacation

A very nice, clean house in a good neighborhood. The beach decor brings a great touch to the house. The beds are so comfy, plenty of towels, kitchen has everything you need. The beach is close by. Buccee right up the road, many restaurants and convenient stores very close. We would stay again.

Excellent getaway!

This is a great place to stay if you want a quiet getaway. Love the walking access to the beach, and the neighborhood is nice with little traffic. The house is the perfect size for bringing some family or friends, and the amenities in the house are great for anything from cooking/grilling at the house to watching a movie in the evening. There’s also an outdoor shower area and a fenced yard for pets or small kids. We will definitely visit again!

Great Place!!

We stayed for a few days with my family. Everything was nice and clean as advertised. The only complaint that is out of the property managers control was the water. At first the water had a foul smell to it. I ran a reset on the water heater to hopefully flush out the bad water but it didn't help. The property manager mentioned the local water has its ups and downs. Showers weren't the best and everyone brushed their teeth with water bottles. At the end of the day everything was fantastic and nice minus the water dilemma. Property manager was very responsive and respectful.

Family and pet friendly.

Rock House is great for families and pets. They have a large fenced area for the dogs to enjoy the outdoors and a gate at the top of the stairs to keep pets or even children from leaving the deck. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beach is a short walk down the street and over the boardwalk. The nearest boardwalk does have stairs so it's a bit tricky with a wagon or stroller. It's just as easy to drive to the beach as well. We were very happy with our stay.

Weekend Retirement Event

Had a retirement party in Freeport on Saturday and decided to rent a beach house for the weekend. The house was central to the location. It was perfect for the weekend. Loved the fenced in yard for our dog to go outside. The property was clean and the lay out was great. Quite cul-de-sac away from the Beach but within walking distance. Only wished the place had a drip coffee maker and all would gave been perfect.

Last minute summer trip

The house is great. Clean, comfortable and well stocked with what you need. Easy access to beach with short walk and also close to vehicle access roads. No complaints, only a few suggestions. Maybe time for a new refrigerator. It doesn’t cool that great. Also the front door doesn’t click shut, it only pulls to unless you lock it.

Cozy

We had a nice time and the only recommendation is to turn the A/C on before guests arrival. It was set 80 degrees when we arrived and the weather was hot and humid outside, so everyone was super hot for a couple hours before it finally cooled down enough to be comfortable. I have stayed in several short term rentals and the a/c has always been set to a comfortable temperature. The only other issue we had was that there were only 5 spoons in the house and we were a group of 7.
