Everything was exactly as described. Host was friendly and very informative! It was nice that there were mini ac split in both rooms and living room so it stayed nice and cool inside in the 100 weather. Kitchen had every utensil/pan and also a keurig. The outdoor shower to rinse off even had hot water, which is awesome. Overall the home is cute, it's in a great spot, and my family had a great experience.

We are so glad everything was exactly as described and that your family had a great experience! It's wonderful to hear the A/C mini-splits kept things nice and cool during the heat, and that little details like the hot water outdoor shower and fully stocked kitchen made a difference. We love that the location worked out well for you too. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful, 5-star review!

Perfect Spot for an Effortless Getaway!

My kids and I loved our time at Cape Joy. The house was cozy and adorable, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was an easy walk the low-key beach, and we enjoyed visiting the jetty and local hamburger joint! We hope to be back again and again!

Great quick getaway from Houston

Cute property! Close to the beach. Equipped kitchen, nice space, had everything our little family of 3 needed. Loved the deck. Grateful the property was dog friendly so we could include our senior lab on our trip. Surfside is a special community and we loved our time at the beach.

Cute A Frame!

I have always wanted to stay in one of these tiny A Frame houses at Surfside Beach. They are very small, but we had a small group, so it was perfect. The place was a few blocks from the beach, very cozy and comfy, and the owner was great! We accidentally locked ourselves out once, and she had someone come immediately and let us in! She answered all our questions right away and was VERY helpful. Great stay!!

From the owner: "Thanks for the compliment, Sarah. And, in case you did not know, you stayed in an Aframe that used to be RIGHT on the beach with those others but was moved in about 2005 to save it from hurricane damage, so it is one of Surfside's historical 'treasures', along with the Aframe next door. We hope you will consider us again if you get a chance for more fun on the beach."
