The host was super responsive when the oven went out on us. Provided same day on-the-counter air fryer and oven was replaced within 2 days of discovering it was broken. The proximity to the beach was A which allowed various members of our group to freely come and go between the house and the beach. It is a public beach with vehicular traffic. We claimed our spot early and had no issues. The back porch view with its cutouts was fantastic. I just wish the outdoor furniture was a little more comfortable. The pieces were starting to reach the end of their lifespan. The house is just a tad more weathered than the pictures indicate. The handle on the front door was not fully attached, loose tile pieces in the primary bathroom, missing nails in walls so pictures and bath towel holders wouldn’t stay up on wall, and we discovered some ants in the bunk room on our last night. Also the bunk room is very warm probably due to restricted air circulation because of design. The fans provided made it ok. You are asked not to lower air below 72 so the compress doesn’t freeze up which was comfortable for all of the rooms except the bunk room. There is no enclosed outdoor shower. There is a hose with a shower head but you can’t fully get de-sanded from the beach before heading into the house. Overall the house is fine and serves its intended purpose. Maintaining properties on the coast is hard and it could just use a little TLC.

Super nice home and great set up. Spent a lot of time at the beach and it was great to be able to come back and grab more everything since the house was close. The house was awesome and super cool on how it was set up. The room for kids is amazing bunks and ladders and just cool! The main rooms were super nice and we had a great time. Watched fireworks and lightening shows off the balcony really wonderful time. Definitely rent this place again!

This was a beautiful beach house. Access to the beach was super easy. My family loved the vibes and decor of the house, made it feel like a real vacation and not just staying in someone’s home. We happened to be there for a kite festival, wasn’t planned, just happenstance. Sitting on the back balcony and watching the kites take flight and then the night flight was amazing. Communications with homeowner were always quickly responded to. Plenty of essentials for cooking are provided and there were manuals for the microwave, oven and stove. We had two sets of family come if for different parts of the week and there was plenty of fridge space with one being in the kitchen and one in the hall. Plenty of towels for our group and more than enough TVs to keep the kids entertained as needed. Four sitting areas let everyone spread out as needed and ceiling fans and provided portable fans made sure everyone was at the right temperature. The beach was only “busy” on Saturday and a lot of that was kite festival traffic, the rest of the days had some traffic but nothing like other beaches in the area. We didn’t get a beach permit for our car because we could easily transport everything with a wagon.We would definitely come back to this house, it was perfect and not too close to the busy area of Surfside but also not too far out for groceries or Walmart needs.

The house was perfectly adequate. It is old and needs attention. But the sheets were clean and the showers and toilets were clean. The house looks clean at first sight, but pull out the sofa bed and you’ll find trash and dead bugs on the floor. The pots and pans are nasty and unusable. The drawers for utensils are beyond nasty. AND IF YOU HAVE TODDLERS, remove the BUTCHER KNIVES from the bottom pull out drawer next to the dishwasher. TVs don’t work, remotes have no batteries, and there’s not a side table one on the outdoor patio. You’ll have to sit your phone and drink on the floor. But you won’t spend much time out there anyway because the cushions are paper thin and molded and the view is looking through cut out holes in the wall. Pay attention to that in the pictures. It looks nice but it obstructs your view of the beach. But the worst part is the insulting message you’ll get from the property manager the day before arrival. There is extra fees for: excess sand on floors, dirty fridge and microwave (which were dirty to start with), and a staging fee if you move anything. She suggests you take pics upon arrival so you can put it all back. You cannot use any of the closets or dresser drawers. They’re all full of mattresses (that fall on you when you open the closet door) and crap. There’s a ladder up against the wall. Brooms are easy to find: they’re leaning on the corner by the front door! I would look elsewhere.
