So I’ll be honest the place wasn’t the best with cleanliness but I don’t really remember a time ever going to a beach house and not giving it like a wipe down so it didn’t bother me none I love the upstairs deck. The hardwood floor was very beautiful. The living room was really nice TV was amazing. It was a very quiet neighborhood and I enjoyed that it’s not too far from the convenient store. Just about a nine minute walk .when you’re going under the house watch your head

Hours of check in is after 4 PM to leave by 11 AM next day, thats not accomodating to enjoy a beach day also having the place for way less than 24 hours. I asked if they do late check in and got a rotund No right away from the property management, but by 10 AM on our check out they were already sending messages asking if we left the property ealier, so they can send cleaners, my check out was at 11 AM, I should not be asked if we left earlier. The house needs major maintenance and deep cleaning on AC and filters. Is not exactly like the pictures.The location and space is good.

We arrived in July 21st at 5:45 pm 1 hour and 45 mins past check in time after driving an 8.5 hours with 6 kids which adds 1-3 hours. We were going to cook supper and go to the beach. When we entered the property the house had not been cleaned beds unmade dirty towels everywhere. The next day i set a20 pk of come on the counter and a slew of roaches scattered everywhere. That is disgusting. I can handle a couple of spiders or roaches but this looked like there had been no pest control in a while. Then the next day we found roaches in the microwave. So I'm sure that the appliances (microwave, coffee pot, stove etc)all have roaches in them laying eggs. When telling the owners about all this they said they will refund my cleaning fee and said we could have a late check out at 2pm. Why would we stay until 2pm when we have an 8.5 hour drive back home with kids adding 1-2 hours to that trip? To day the least i am very disappointed in the stay and hoping i don't bring critters home with me. Also the picture in the listing of the crossover bridge going to the beach is not at this house. I paid alot of money for this house plus all other expenses and sure was expecting better.

Very run down and needs a lot of TLC, the house did not have the essentials like hand soap. I was thankful that my family arrived a day after we got there so that I could clean and replace the plastic shower curtain liners, etc. I was embarrassed to wake up to roaches in the sink every morning and in the hot bathroom without an air vent from the first day. The place is literally falling apart, my family were troopers but I was very disappointed in the condition for the amount of money we spent to host everyone. The photos on the site must be pretty old when the property was in better condition. Would not recommend, we have stayed in better places for less money and closer to the beach.

Beach house has everything you need any even more beds than we expected! Property manager was great to work with. Code to Surfside beach, walking distance. Highly recommend.

Arrived late on a Thursday night from Austin, home was dark with no lights , not a problem, walking to the home from the parking area was kind of suspect, WATCH YOUR HEAD!!, you have to walk under the house to get to the stairs, 3 lock boxes onsite but only 1 had the key without labels, unlocked the door and the 1st then I heard was like a haunted house noise , turned out the screens on the windows were torn and the window in the 1st bedroom was broken, the house was completely dirty, kitchen had dirt on the counters, roaches running back and forth, missing electrical and low voltage cover plates on the walls, couches filled with dirt, food. Floors were filthy. Master bedroom bed had stains of food, smush insects. My wife was thinking of cleaning but when she looked under the cabinets in the kitchen, roaches and rat droppings were full, I would say the only thing that “LOOKED” clean was the kids room with all the bunked beds. The beds were dirty, it was too late to find a hotel and also it was raining and windy, we were tired from the long drive up from Austin , we had to bathe so we all just bathed and sat on the couch, didn’t sleep in the rooms on the beds nor slept at all, we only had the house for 1 night because our other beach house wasn’t ready until 4pm the next day, we tried to pay extra for the other beach house to go in earlier but it was already booked, we didn’t even wait for 10 am to check out , we left as soon as day break, we will NOT be staying again.DISASTER

The home was fine for our brief trip to the beach. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves without interruption. The home was very convenient and quiet.

Wonderful stay. We all spent a lot of quality time together and enjoyed our time here!

I recently stayed at this rental home near the beach and it was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was just a short distance to the beach, and we spent most of our days lounging in the sun and enjoying the ocean breeze. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, which made it easy to unwind and de-stress.

This property has everything you need and some really cute decor! Perfect beach get away!

All was good except for mosquitoes.

We enjoyed our stay, it is close to the beach and fishing. Loved that it is so nice and big. Great decks to sit on. My only concern was the kitchen. It could have been cleaner.

Awesome beach house in perfect location. From the grill to the amenities and two decks, we had a great vacation here. We will return again soon.

I just wanted to say we loved the location of this beach house!! We loved how it had many beds and spacious it was! Can’t wait to stay here again in the near future!

Good location just a couple blocks from the beach. Enjoyed our stay and plan on coming back soon.

First off, I spent four hours in this house and left. I never stayed one night. Four hours is all it took to repulse me on how disgusting this house was, how poorly it was maintained and how rude and inconsiderate the owners are. Upon pulling up I noticed the house was in poor shape, rotten wood everywhere and just not well maintained at all. There was also a deserted truck in the front yard and trash strewn everywhere. I then took my dog for a walk and while walking the neighborhood a man came running outside screaming at his dogs who were barking, which was frightening. I also noticed the neighborhood was run down, some houses barely standing. Within minutes of arriving, I was eaten alive by mosquitos both outside the house and inside. I sprayed my entire body with Off, yet they were so aggressive, they bit my eyelids! I immediately notified the owners and they said "well it's the beach, what do you expect?" I then got settled in the house, turned on the kitchen faucet to give my dog some water and what came out was disgusting. The water was so bad I wouldn't give it to my dog! I then prepared dinner and while cooking, a giant cockroach ran across the stove top. Just minutes later, I pulled the mini blinds up and the entire blind came out of the wall and fell on me. This only made matters worse when I noticed how disgusting the window seals were - dirt, hair, particles of I don't know what. I then went out onto the deck, and the nightmare continued. The wooden panels on the floor were shaky, there were holes in the wood and rotten pieces everywhere. I didn't feel safe standing on them. At this point I was in an email war with the owners. I notified them that I felt unsafe in the neighborhood, that the house was filthy and they had a BIG bug problem. The owners insinuated I was racist saying "I guess you don't like our neighbors they are the salt of the Earth.". For which I responded, I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN A NEIGHBOR. It just escalated from there with rude and disrespectful language from the owner, Russell. I had rented this place for 10 days! I pleaded with the owners to at least consider refunding part of my stay but NOPE, they refused. So I called VRBO immediately and submitted photo after photo of the house. I also spoke to the property manager who was equally as rude. DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE. IT'S A UNSANITARY AND UNSAFE. This was such a nightmare experience I've hired a lawyer.

The property was good. Our family had enough room and we enjoyed the beach. Thank you for letting us stay in your home.

Property needs upgrade

Spacious enough to spread out and cozy enough for everyone to spend quality time together

Nice places we love so much will come back for sure!

My husband and I wanted to take a couple of days and celebrate our 20th anniversary with our daughter and a couple of her close friends. Russell’s beach house was the perfect escape! The bunk room was a huge hit with the kids and we were even able to bring our dogs along! The home is cozy and has a New England beach cottage vibe to it. We loved eating out on the deck and could even hear the ocean waves from a few blocks away!

Great location for a beach stay for a bunch of people. Comfortable beds (10 total) and couches, nice TVs and well appointed kitchen and spacious outdoor decks. House itself needs some TLC, cabinetry and wood paneling have seen better days. And the exterior is nothing to write home about. Bring bottled water, the tap water is off colored and not something i would drink.

Great place! Beach is only a 5 min walk away

The property is not as close to the beach as originally stated, the outside appearance was horrible the house is old and shabby looking it needs a lot of TLC, a little more love to the outside would make the house so much better. We couldn’t even use the trash can because there was trash overflowing. We didn’t even have room for our trash we ended up putting most of it on the truck bed and driving it back to home to dump it. I wouldn’t rent it again for that price in the condition it’s in. If you’re going for looks this is not the spot, the neighbors were nice and friendly the houses surrounding this house were beautiful then there was this one just sitting there looking run down.

This was my first time renting a vacation house and I hit it out of the park, yes the house isn’t right off the beach but it’s close enough to the access where you can drive right onto the beach and it’s also right down the road from on of the best fishing spots I’ve ever been to , it’s a smaller house but it fits all my family and friends perfectly , this trip was a big deal , I proposed and she said yes, this is a great house and it was as clean as can be the only downside is the grill but I’m picky so that’s on me

Pros•A/C works great. •Love both decks•Beds are plentiful & very comfortable. Pillows are nice.•Having a dishwasher & a washer & dryer is a plus. They provide laundry detergent & fabric softener.•More than enough TP. •Dishwasher is silent. •Refrigerator works really well.• Mostly clean inside. Cons•It is not a walk to the beach. The stairs that you can see in Google maps to access the beach aren't there anymore. Also on Google maps or shows if you walk south and then east a couple blocks you can walk directly onto the sand but that isn't there anymore either. We had to walk 5 blocks back to the house and drive to the beach.•There was trash on top deck & in yard --bottles, cans, cigarette butts, bottle caps...•Broken can opener•No extra blankets•Skillet scratched up so food sticks & is near impossible to clean and nowhere near enough pans—and no platters—to feed 5 people much less 14. That isn’t “fully stocked”.•Doors warped and hard to open/close•No pull on fan by the bedrooms to change fan speed--stuck on low. •Warped walls either from moisture or heat, so paintings sit on floor.•No hair dryer. Only 2 small bottles of shampoo & bars of soap.•Siding falling down on front so it looks shabby•It "sleeps up to 14" but has only 4 chairs for the dining table, plus two bar stools.•the sofa was dirty.•The grill grate was broken and there was years of buildup on the rest of the grate.For the price they should have more supplies and fix/replace the things I mentioned. I've been to dozens of short term rentals and have never seen one so sparsely supplied.
