The Perfect Retreat
9 women stayed here for a long weekend, and it was WONDERFUL! We had plenty of space and the house was beautiful and clean. Janet is one of the best hosts - she was helpful and responsive. The little extras like saving a huge refrigerator and a well-stocked kitchen made this a five star experience.

Family Beach Fun 2024
The house was large enough to hold all 17 of us. The only thing lacking was a covered porch. It was nice to have all the cookware there - they only thing I took extra was a griddle to do pancakes on. There was beach toys for the kids to play with and we even added to their collection. Tropical Storm Alberto could not keep us from enjoying ourselves with our kids and grandkids!!

Great vacation
The rental property was equipped with everything we could possibly need to enjoy a wonderful time in the beach. I was however, unable to make contact or get a respond to my messages from the property owner. It was a little stressful as our date drew near. Luckily, 6 hours before check in, I was contacted with instructions to enter the property. I would stay here again!

Great house for a group
This house is a comfortable location for a group get together. Very close to beach. Large kitchen and great deck. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which is quite convenient. It has all the needed supplies. Also, the management company responded immediately to all questions. Lovely place for Surfside!

Family Beach Time
Wanted time away to spend together at the beach and this did not disappoint. It might be nice to let renters know at booking how to access beach by foot and that car access, if desires requires a $12 pass. Otherwise the location and layout of the property suited us well!

Great location
The area was very close to the beach the house was decent We had issues with brown water running out the shower head . The shower curtain was broken We saw roaches and spider webs on the ceiling . The bathrooms wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been. There was no mops and they wanted us to strip the beds that was slept in and start a load of clothes for them . Why we had to pay a cleaning fee if we have to do all the cleanup for them. The owners was great but who’ve r they hired to clean need to do a better job.

Very Nice and Comfortable Property
This was a family gathering and most of us are in our 50’s and 60’s. The house is very comfortable; there are 4 bedrooms and each has its own bathroom. In each bedroom is a queen sized bed and 3 bunk beds. Each bedroom has a tv. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, cutlery, utensils and even a coffee pot. The refrigerator and separate freezer are very big with ample room for your food and beverages. The large dining table was perfect for our family meals and games. There are board games in one of the bedroom closets. Underneath the house are a couple of storage chests with toys for the kids. And also underneath are showers and a foot shower to rinse off to help minimize tracking sand in the house. There’s a BBQ pit / grill, so bring your charcoal and enjoy cooking over hot coals. There are a couple of accesses to the beach. Even with some rain during the evening, we enjoyed our stay in this house and on Surfside Beach!

Surfside family retreat
Family of 14 ages from 1year to grandma and grandpa. House was perfect for our large family. Loved having separate rooms with their own bathrooms and plenty of options for the kids to sleep. Kitchen easily supported cooking large meals, refrigerator was massive for keeping everything we needed for a 4 day stay. Close walk to the beach or a very short drive to bring all the equipment needed to enjoy a full day in the sun. Only recommendations for improvement. The audio system in the living room was tricky to work with, couldn't get the sound bar working. The living room couch was comfortable but required a lot of adjustment as the cushions came off easily with mobile kids.

Great Multi-Family Configuration
The set-up of this property is fabulous for multiple families. Each family has their own room with the ability to sleep 5 plus a bathroom. There are two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. We had a 5-month old and 3-yr old with us during this trip - each in an upstairs bedroom. The upstairs bedrooms were quiet enough for the little ones to sleep while the parents stayed up late laughing and playing games. Great communication with the property manager and super easy walk to the beach. A few tips if you rent this property: - be sure to remember your toiletries - the bunk beds are not made with sheets before you get there (only made with the comforters); sets of sheets are provided in the bedrooms but we didn't realize the bunks themselves weren't made until we were crawling into bed late (which caused some issues while trying not to wake up little ones in the same room) - bring extra pillowcases as we couldn't find pillowcases for the bunks

Surfside or bust!
Pros: The Surfside beach is very clean and beautiful. The walk to the beach from the house is not too far. The house is very pretty and in great shape. The refrigerator and freezer are big. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and ac unit. Big dining table. Fully stocked kitchen. Shower outside to wash off. Cons: The kitchen pantry is locked by owner, so we had to store enough food for 14 people, for 4 days, on the countertops, messy. The couch was comfortable but old and always seemed to be coming apart where it was supposed to stay connected. If you like a super firm bed, then these are for you. Oddly, we were asked to pull the bedspreads down and not use them to sleep, but they provided no additional blankets to be used in its place. I suggest bringing your own towels. They were sparse.

Convenient access to Gulf of Mexico beach . . . about one block walk along a trail. Recommend guests bring bottled water. Tap water had a salty taste.
