Reviewer Comments:
This is a modern house that comfortably sleeps 12, more if you don't mind sleeping on a sofa bed. The kitchen is well appointed with a garbage disposal, quality dishes and serverware, 1 French door refrigerator, and electric oven and range. The coffee maker and microwave are also new and modern. Unlike other beach houses in this area, the kitchen in Golden Surfside has what you would have at your own house. The upstairs bedrooms are new and clean but lack furniture. The owners need to add dressers, mirrors and nightstands to the bedrooms. We just had to keep things in suitcases on the floor. The deck is nice, long and clean. I agree with other reviewers that the house lacks beach decor. The best things about this house is that building is clean, new, working bathrooms (no rust in the drains, etc.) and a great kitchen.There are two things two draw backs that travelers, especially those with young children, should take note: 1) There is no ramp up to the house, just stairs. This makes it very difficult to transport coolers and suitcases from the parking spot below. If my husband and teenage boys were not with me, I could not have carried everything up the stairs myself. 2) There is no boardwalk from the house. You have to cross an ant-filled grassy area, across the neighbor's parking pad to get to a swampy landing of stairs out to the beach. Besides being difficult to walk, it is also hard to pull a wagon from the house to the beach. The owners should build a wooden platform from the back of the house to meet the stairs. Yes, the house has beach access but it is not as accessible as other beach houses. If I had really young children, I would not pick this house because the swampy/boggy walk to the boardwalk would be unacceptable.
