Great Little Getaway

I really enjoyed our stay at this house! It was just me and my partner and it was the perfect size for us! The house smelled great, and it had everything we needed. The house itself is a little older, but it added to the charming quality of the overall appeal to the place. A plus was the bathroom was updated and had a vanity mirror and a nice large, updated shower which was perfect after spending all day at the beach! Definitely a quick 3 min walk to the beach by the jetty, which was nice for morning walks. Be prepared to drive further down the beach for a good beach day; however you could get away doing a beach day at the beach by the house. It was quiet at night and also pretty quiet during the day, so it was peaceful being there. The steps to the house aren’t too high, so it’s easy to get your things up and down from the house. Overall recommend this house for a good quick getaway to the beach! Will be back!

Weekend getaway

Communication with the host was 5 stars within minutes of booking. Even when I made a mistake in booking, he was quick to offer a solution to make our weekend plans seamless and enjoyable. The arrival directions were spot on and easy to follow. The house is perfectly located- you get a peek at the ocean, but are just far enough away to enjoy the quiet neighborhood. Stores and restaurants are walking distance. The house was meticulously cleaned and had every kitchen and bathroom item we needed. They even had beach towels and chairs for our use. The bed was super comfortable. All the comforts of home made this rental a great spot for the weekend. We will definitely return!

Great place for a couple and a few kids

We enjoyed the stay, the streets are a little narrow so it made parking the boat a tiny bit challenging. We will stay there again

Comfortable Little Vacation House

My son & I rented the house to be close to my other son & family who were staying 2 blocks away. The house was great for just the 2 of us.My son slept on the sleeper sofa. The location was nice & easily accessible to the beach. The kitchen had adequate accessories needed to make quick meals.

Easy Stay

The stay was lovely for a quick beach weekend and a work from home day. Property was the perfect size for my partner and I, and our small-medium sized dog. Two notes: there were small ants in the bathroom, and the AC never got cold (really never below 74, sometimes as high as 79). But overall, great stay!

The house is small, cozy, and very clean and well maintained. I loved how close it is to Surfside Jetty so i could go fishing after work. Excellent place for couples or a small family.

Cute house in quiet neighborhood in Surfside

The house was cute and clean. It’s in a quiet little neighborhood South of the causeway. It was exactly what we needed for the two nights we were there.

Wonderful stay!

We truly enjoyed our week at Surfside in the house. It was relaxing and peaceful. Short walk to the pier and ocean. It was fun to get up in the morning and step out to the roaring ocean and beautiful sunrise.

Great weekend at Surfside

Little house was adorable; very close to the jetties…we were able to see some ships, which was fun for the small children. The owners were very accommodating. We always enjoy coming to Surfside. Had a great weekend at the beach.

Just What We Wanted

Cozy, quiet, and comfortable which was just what we wanted. The cottage was easily accessible from the main Hwy and had easy access to food, sightseeing, and adventure. We can’t give a rating on the nearby beach since it was off season and kinda chilly.
