Relaxing weekend with top notch accommodations

This was our second stay at the property and it once again lived up to expectations. Plenty of room for two families with children and an ideal location for beach access and entertainment/dining options. The golf cart and beach chairs came in handy during our trip. Highly recommend!

Great Location

This house is in a great location, close to the beach but also in a quiet neighborhood. The private pool was wonderful and the use of the golf cart made it easy to get to the beach and to the pier. The owners checked in to make sure everything was going well which was nice. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect family vacation spot

The property is clean and spacious. The short walk to the beach is a plus. Many extras make your stay more enjoyable, including bikes, beach chairs, a golf cart, and a ping pong table! The owner is very responsive and helpful if needs arise. We've stayed here multiple years and plan to return! Thanks for a great vacation!

Perfect family vacation

We live By the Pond for so many reasons, but the top 3 are its location, cleanliness, and layout. There is enough room for grandparents and teens to spread out when needed but there are also lots of spaces they can hang out together.

Great get away!

Very nice property - the private pool is really nice to have! And the golf cart was very helpful in getting around to the beach (but it's not that far to walk). Clean, comfortable, nice neighborhood. Would definitely return to this location.

Perfect house at Surfside

This was our third time staying at this house. The house is spacious inside and out. Love the outdoor furniture and pool. The kids always love seeing the turtles. Short walk to the beach and golf cart provided in price. Owners are very nice and always prompt to answer. Hope to visit again in the future. Highly recommend.

Everything was perfect!

By The Pond had everything we needed for the most amazing vacation. The pool was so relaxing. The golf cart and beach chairs made going to the beach a breeze and so many toys for the kids! Sitting by the pond with coffee was the best way to wake up every day. No need to go anywhere as this place was perfect for cooking all our meals and had so much to keep everyone entertained the entire week!

Charming ground floor cottage in great location. The included linens and golf cart were wonderful bonus. The pond with turtles was big hit with kids as well as playground in sight of house and pool. Lots of chairs and places to sit and relax. We had great trip.

Great vacation rental

We thoroughly enjoyed this deceptively large beach house. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the home and the layout. We enjoyed the beach and the pool and it was nice to have the outdoor showers to wash the sand away. We really liked the golf cart very handy to take o the beach. We were quite pleased with this home and would rent it again.
