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.

We enjoy the stay, the house was just as described with a beautiful view. The host was very responsive. We caught a bit of bad weather and lost power for a few hours and Arlene kept us informed with ETA on power restoration.

The host was responsive to all of our questions in a timely manner. The house itself was excellent. It was nice and cool. A lot of kitchen amenities to use and in good condition. The walkway behind the house to access the beach is convenient. Only complaint was a couple of the beds were too soft and lumpy to our liking. Overall, the stay was good and I would recommend.

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.
