Couldn’t beat the view or convenient location. However, we had a few issues during our stay which made it frustrating overall. The most significant was no running water for an extended period, directly affecting our comfort and plans. There were several broken items and the overall cleanliness didn’t match what we felt was advertised. The host did offer to send the cleaning crew back, but it would have been disruptive to our stay and didn’t fully address the condition of the house upon arrival. Compensation was provided, but wasn’t proportional to the issues we had. I would recommend confirming everything is fully functional and all fees are clearly accounted on both ends before booking.

We’re glad you enjoyed this home's scenic view and beachside location, as we agree, this is quite the special seaside spot. However, we're disappointed to hear you didn't enjoy your stay at this home more. We never want that for any guest. We do want to clarify a few points for future guests. During your stay, a shower valve was accidentally damaged late in the evening which caused water to spray within the shower. As a precaution, you chose to turn the water off when not in use overnight, and we appreciated that. Our maintenance team arrived first thing the next morning and promptly completed the repair, restoring normal function. At no point was the home without running water. Regarding cleanliness, even in our sandy, salty, and humid location, especially those on the front row like this one, we always aim to meet a high standard. As you shared, we did offer to have our housekeeping crew return right away to address any concerns. We do understand you preferred not to have that interruption during your stay. While unexpected maintenance issues can occasionally arise in any home, we responded quickly and also provided compensation as a gesture of goodwill. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to do our best to ensure every guest has a smooth and enjoyable experience. Thank you for allowing us to host your island stay.

Thank you for allowing us to host you and appreciate the 10 out of 10 and compliments. Given this home is direct beachfront with plenty of sand, salt, sea breezes and humidity (all great at the beach, lesser so in homes), each time you open the doors, in this case 3, these elements come right in. Not so great for carpeting, unfortunately. Our housekeeping team does their best, but we've passed along your feedback. We do hope to host you again!

The Dome House is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. We were a family group of 9 and stayed for a glorious week in paradise. The house and owners and managers (Nathalie, Avtar, Martine, and husband) were perfect and exceeded all expectations! We had Irini cook our first meal, which was a delicious feast. Martine came every day to attend to all our needs. The view from the patio and sunsets were breath-taking. Thank you so much for making our family vacation very special!

The house was clean and tidy. All appliances were working and kitchen was well appointed. The contract stated a certain number of paper towels and toilet paper rolls but they were not provided. We did appreciate the ramp from the driveway to the front deck and down to the beach, which was in good condition.

Very clean and nice property. The view is beautiful; we loved sitting out on the deck to eat. The place is well-stocked with all the kitchen things you need, and bonus, they have a great water filtration system. You can hear people walking above you, but we just brought some noise machines and ear plugs for nighttime and were fine. The pool is a little small but our daughters enjoyed swimming nonetheless. Overall I would recommend it!

Great family getaway spot!

Our group of two grandparents, five children and three spouses, and five grandchildren had a great time at the property. There were enough bedrooms so that all grandkids could have a quiet afternoon nap. The deck was a fabulous play area as well as a nice place for coffee and sunrises. The extra fridge was a plus when feeding so many people. The direct beach access was a must for us and it did not disappoint!

October beach trip

This was the least stressful checkout I’ve experienced and I rent once to twice yearly. House was as described and was appreciated. Rooms accommodated comfortably and the kitchen was so well stocked!!!! Anything we could have needed was there to include multiple place settings and plenty of coffee mugs. Beach access was great. And the deck has a fabulous view. Recommend.

Thank you for staying with us, Veronica. We're so glad you enjoyed this home's seaside location and spacious layout. Given this is a direct beachfront (sand, surf, salt, and sea breezes) location combined with the Village of Surfside's island water utilities, there can sometimes be a bit of an odor and also low water pressure. We do share this info upfront and is a known issue with the local utility water. We're sorry for any inconvenience, unfortunately just out of our control. We appreciate the feedback on the living area furnishings (we haven't heard that before), and we will make sure to replenish the pot holders. Thank you for letting us know.

Thank you Steve, it is quite the lovely seaside spot. We appreciate you noting! Regarding the shower, we are not aware of any issue with any of them and all seem to be operational when we checked. Perhaps you were expecting it to work another way? The ceiling fan in the primary bedroom has a pull chain to change the speed. Maybe the chain was caught up?
