Such a fun time!

We had such a great time enjoying the weekend at surfside! We spent the majority of our time out at the beach, but the house was well stocked for all our meals and a great setting for accommodating a larger group! Thank you and we can’t wait to be back at the beach more this summer!

Spring Break Getaway

I stayed in this home for a couple of days with some friends and our kids age 3,5,6 and 14. The house was very clean, well stocked and had a beautiful view of the beach. There were lots of towels and supplies and the kids loved all the board games in the house. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Fantastic Beach House

WE so enjoyed our stay at this beach house. It was a great location, beautiful decor, loved the two balconies, plenty of amenities with a pretty view of the ocean. We could walk to the pedestrian beach or drive down to the city beach. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out and relax. The beds were super comfortable! We'd rent this house again.

We loved this high rise house by the sea! Beautiful view and away from the busy beach but not far to walk to. Perfect location. The only complain would be the freezer in the refrigerator did not get cold enough to keep food frozen. They should replace it with a new one.

4th of July Stay 2025

Overall a great place and enjoyable stay!A few suggestions for improvement:Consider installing a keypad lock — having only one key for multiple guests was a bit inconvenient.It would be helpful to note in the listing that the elevator is for owner use only.An updated list of supplies provided (e.g., paper towels, toilet paper, etc.) would be appreciated so guests know what to expect.

Thank you for staying with us at the coast! We're glad you enjoyed the house! Keypad locks don't hold up well in this climate; we've gone thru 2-3 already. Your other requests for notes were already included in the Welcome Guide. Vrbo's guest email must have hit your spam folder.
