Worked well for our family - kitchen had pots, pans, dishes and anything else you might need. Being right on the beach was great for early morning coffee, watching the waves, and good for younger kids to be able to walk back and forth by themselves.

We loved a lot of things about this house! Huge dining table for all of us to sit at together, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and room for us all, beach access was just feet away, super comfortable furniture, and the host had a great supply of everything we needed for meal prep. Very pleased with our stay.

Bathroom sinks would not drain and the lower level area had ripped screens. TV in one of the rooms didn’t work. Minor complaints considering the absolute perfect location on the beach. Loved it here will absolutely return.

Beach Front
This was a very spacious house right on the beach..the weekend was very crowded with cars parked, grills going and many families enjoying the nice weather..the house is close enough yet far enough away to enjoy all the activities w/o being in the middle of it. Would rent again.

Considering that the area was hit by a hurricane a week before our stay the house was in decent shape but some material for repairs had been left out.
The outside of the house is dated but ok, The inside worked perfectly for the 13 of us. We were able to enjoy the two outside decks. It was great,
The 1st floor worked out as one of the group had mobility issue. However the AC for the 1st floor could not keep the temperature cool enough at night.
Bottom line we may be comng back

When we pulled up we were pleased with how close & convenient the house was to the beach. We were a little worried when we saw how run down the exterior was, but very happy to see the inside was just a beautiful & relaxing. The house offer many gathering areas inside & out. The kitchen was very well stocked & we loved the openness & space that allowed several people to help prepare meals at once while still being a part of the rest of the group. Beds were comfy & bath towels were very luxurious. We had a few issues that management addressed quickly. Our overall stay of 14 ladies was fun & relaxing & plenty of room for all. The cleaning crew however needs to spend more time cleaning the floors, baseboards & dusting. I definitely don’t feel the house was as clean as it should have been. But we definitely will consider this house again for future retreats.

We enjoyed our stay. Property was very well kept on the inside. Understand that this property is directly by the water and the elements affect everything quickly, that being said, the outside of the property did not look as great at the pictures portrayed. Great home for a large group, know that the 2 levels are not connected, so you must leave the main level to get to additional beds and bathrooms if you need all the beds. Great open floor plan, great for kids and adults. Super easy access to beach.

Memories made during summer 2020
This property is an amazing house that will ensure families with children of all ages an unforgettable beach trip. Located on beach near mile marker 12, this home accommodates little ones to teenagers with ease. The kitchen is ample with plenty of storage for food and beverages with a refrigerator upstairs and downstairs. Two decks to appreciate sunrise and sunset everyday. We will definitely be back! The management company was prompt in address issues that came up during our stay. Quite attentive and courteous!!
QUICK! Make your plans now to enjoy the beach at this home.

Perfect
We had such a great week in this house. It was perfect for our two families with kids ages 10-16. The teens loved the downstairs bunk room. Upstairs was spacious and easily let us all hang out together. Screen porch was great for an additional bug free, sun free spot. But there was still two outdoor patios to enjoy coffee, dinner, and sun. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay at Octupus' Garden!!
Had a wonderful week with family at this property. So many beds great space for several people and very clean linens and towels. Loved the outdoor shower. Extras at house like sand toys and boogie boards are a great surprise. Management was amazing at fixing little issues we had. The beach being RIGHT in front of the house was the best. A walkover away and your in paradise. Very clean area with cute souviner shops and great bait shops. If Surfside is in our future we will definitely stay here again! 5 stars from us!!

Perfect Vacation Home
This beachfront home was decorated so beautifully on the inside. We weren't at a hotel, we were invited to someone's home. Each bedroom had plenty of dressers and closet space. We didn't have to live inside our suitcases. It was nice having a grass yard big enough for volleyball! The kitchen was set up so well, four of us could prepare meals and clean up together.
From the shower down stairs - to the screened in porch every detail exceeded our expectations.

Take my breath away water views!
Our multi-generational group of 14 had an absolutely lovely time! So much to do and plenty of space to do it. The kiddos loved the adorable bunk room (and their parents appreciated the comfortable and nearby chaperone's quarters on the lower level). In the morning for coffee and the evening for cocktails, the adults enjoyed hanging out on the upper screened deck hearing the sounds of the surf and watching the beautiful Gulf water while the kids ran around the yard. It was very relaxing. We'll be back!
