We're so glad to hear you had a relaxing beach getaway! Thank you for the 5-stars and sharing some suggestions for future guests. We would love to host you again!

We're disappointed to hear you didn't enjoy your stay more, Vickie, and we certainly don't want that for any of our guests. However, as respectfully as we can say this, it seems this is a bit dramatic and doesn't properly reflect the condition of the home nor our crew's actions and interactions with you during your stay. While what can be deemed a stain is subjective, the couch is actually quite new and "the tiny stains" you shared with us were actually a result of a bit of discoloration caused by the steam cleaner's cleaning spots. We checked the dishwasher, and it appears to be working as expected. It does like perhaps you were trying to force the latch a bit. While the listing does not promise a 1 min walk to the beach, there is a main beach access point right across the road from this home. On average most guests would say 5-10 min walk. There are both beach and bay views from this home's decks, but by no means is this home beachfront nor is it marketed that way. We're sorry if you were disappointed though, and we do have plenty of homes with direct beachfront locations. However, no surprise, they do rent for quite a bit more per night. As for deck chairs, we literally brought you 4 new Adirondack chairs the first full day of your stay. Most would say that was pretty darn good customer service, as is was the AC company coming out same day you contacted us. We are however sorry for any inconvenience. We do appreciate you allowing us to host you.

Glad you easily accessed the beach and appreciate the feedback. We don't advertise that you can see the beach, rather just the Bay and Gulf water from the decks. Sorry to hear you were disappointed. Not sure what wasn't a bed about the bed? As for the outdoor shower, we're at sea level, so outdoor showers don't typically have drains. Not sure what we can do about those pesky mosquitoes (the city does spray regularly), they do love our coastal location at times especially after rains.

Thank you for the 5-stars and allowing us to host your MDW stay in Surfside! We appreciate the compliments and feedback and will pass it along accordingly. We would be honored to host you again!

Glad you experienced a good beach vacation! Sorry to hear you had trouble with the bed. We haven't had anyone mention squeaking, but we'll have our maintenance team try to shore it up and also the owner has added an extra mattress topper since your stay for greater comfort! Unfortunately with the Village of Surfside's water, it can cause some discoloration of items including dishware and certainly shower curtains in short order. However, I've passed your feedback along to this home's field manager. She takes clean very seriously!

Thank you for staying with us and appreciate the helpful feedback! We have since added a picnic table on the main level deck. Glad we were quick to respond, appreciate you noting! We hope you'll visit again!

We're so glad we could host your Teacher Girls' Weekend, Darlene, and we're delighted you had a great experience especially post the bully Beryl! Our team worked hard to get this place all set for your stay and appreciate you noting that. Unfortunately, we can only control what we can control, and in this case, the house not the community at large. That said, this is an incredibly resilient community and much has already been accomplished since you were here. As for a boil notice, respectfully, we proactively recommend to all guests to bring their own water to drink and cook with in multiple spots regardless of boil notice or time, and in fact, we had you initial that. Sounds like you might have missed that. Again, we're so glad you time was well-enjoyed and would love to have you back!

Thank you for allowing us to host your island stay. We’re disappointed to hear the home didn’t meet your expectations. For clarity, the only concern reported during your stay was the ceiling leak at 9:30am. Our maintenance manager responded promptly and was there and had the home fully inspected by 12:13pm that same day. He was unable to replicate an active issue. He ran water in sink and shower in upstairs bathroom and couldn’t recreate the issue. He suspected when taking showers a significant amount of water was being splashed onto the floor. However, he asked that you report back to our guest service team if it’s leaking again. No additional concerns were mentioned at that time or during your stay, which of course, limited our ability to address anything further while you were there. We do wish the other items had been brought to our attention during your stay, as many could have been resolved quickly by our crew. This home is also priced as a more budget-friendly beach option. Guests seeking a more updated or luxury experience may prefer a higher-tier property. We do appreciate you staying with us and wish you well in your future travels.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed the welcome note and found the property to be a good fit overall. We do wish we had heard from you during your stay, as many of the items mentioned are things we could have quickly looked into. After checkout, our crew inspected the home and was not able to identify any issues with the dryer or downstairs lighting. Sometimes those lights can be a little tricky with the 3-way switches, so a quick message would have allowed us to troubleshoot and help right away. The trundle bed did have sheets provided, and we intentionally provide a separate blanket for trundle use rather than a full comforter. A traditional comforter tends to get caught and damaged when the trundle is closed, so this setup helps keep the bed functional and comfortable for guests. We’ll certainly pass along the kitchen feedback to the owner. As for the living room seating, the egg-style chairs are a unique coastal design choice and may simply not be everyone’s favorite style. The sectional is actually one of the largest options that fits comfortably in this particular space and is designed to seat six guests. Since the home is advertised for a maximum of 8 guests, your group of 9 was beyond what we allow or suggest. Coastal homes each have their own personality, and this one has plenty of charm, but we appreciate the suggestions. We just wish we had the opportunity to assist while you were here!

We're so glad to hear you had a great time at Take It Easy and at the event! Thanks so much for the 5-stars and being such fantastic guests to host. We'd love to do so again!

Thank you for staying at Take It Easy, we hope you did just that during your vacay! We appreciate the feedback and heads up regarding the pots and pans and do an assessment with the owner. Thanks again!

Thank you for the 5-stars, and we're delighted to hear your getaway was an enjoyable one! We hope to host you again!

Thank you for the 5-stars, and we're delighted everything worked out so well for you from location to the people to the house itself. We hope you'll be back!

Delighted to hear your group had an enjoyable holiday! We appreciate the feedback on the indoor table, as we know it was a bit cold for the picnic table. We've passed it along to the owner. Thanks for staying with us!

For starters, thank you for staying with us and noting what worked well and not so well for you and your group. As for responding to your email you sent AFTER your stay, we are confused. Kristi did respond, in fact in less than 24 hours, and also addressed each item you mentioned thoroughly. If the review response would allow us to include an image, we would gladly include it. AC filters are replaced no less than monthly on a schedule. We also provide 5 extra filters in the home, so guests who are sensitive may easily swap. We are in a salty, humid and sandy environment, you open the door and all enter in. Just a product of the environment. The Village of Surfside water is poor and is known to have a color and sometimes a funky scent, especially noticeable during peak season (thus the standing water in toilets color and staining) We even share this info proactively with guests in multiple spots. Lastly, as for the cockroaches, they also love our warm and humid location and thus why all our homes are on regular pest control. Unfortunately. we found out German cockroaches are transferred in guest luggage and the place has since been professionally treated for this specifically. All issues have been addressed. Thank you.

Our experience with you all as Guests was not ideal either. Steven was indeed direct with you after receiving 4 different serious complaints from the neighbors about your 25 people in an out of the house for 2 days, you all parking your vehicles all over the street and on their lawns, and also about the trash you all were leaving strewn about. You heard incorrectly, this home is not an EVENT center. It is a vacation rental home. Upon being contacted you all acted as though the rules and common decency for others was not something you cared about. We are not supportive of Guests who feel they can interrupt the lives of everyone around them and then blame them when they become agitated by your actions.
