The location of the property is great. However, the evening we arrived, we noticed there were some issues with the property. The property was clean, but had a very strong musty odor. The carpet appeared to need cleaning, the shower curtain rod was corroded, and the coffee pot was completely rusted. At this point, we left and drove home. If there's an issue with a property, we try to work with the host. The host responded to my message about the issues, saying we should have stayed and allowed her to "fix" things. It was already evening, so I'm not sure how she planned to do this, and I doubt she could have resolved the odor issue. Also, we received an email after we booked that the water from the tap isn't drinkable. This alone wouldn't have deterred us as we could bring bottled water, but we feel this should be disclosed up front.
Love the house location, love house decorations, kitchen wares need to be replaced! Need more coffee cups. The gas grill need to be cleaner and need some furnitures downstairs for BBQ. Our family of 12 feel very comfortable in this house! Kimberly very prompt to our needs, she’s an excellent host!
The first impression is nice. A closer look and the kitchen was not clean and did not have a basic cleaning. Refrigerator have liquid spilled in on all shelves and into the freezer. Oven needed cleaning had baked on crumbs and smells inside. All appliances had fingerprints and smudges from prior groups stay. We were asked to wash a load of towels and there was not laundry pods to do so. Had to purchase cleaning supplies to do a basic wipe down of all surfaces. Carpets had not been vacuumed and floors were dirty. The main area for gathering is the kitchen, livin and dining and these areas were the most unclean and unsanitary. These areas being a mess have me and my guest feeling that what else hasn’t been cleaned and wiped down. For the price there should have been basic shampoo and bath soaps. The location is awesome the comedy for the night was great watching people get stuck in the sand. That was better than a TV show. Despite the uncleanliness we had a awesome time. Work on a cleaner place and combined with the great location and house in general you will have a exceptional place
Perfect , unobstructed Ocean views-some cleanliness and water quality issues
Loved the location and the home furnishings. Only a couple of issue-- cleanliness could have been better, some hair and minor debris on the floors, pots and pans were not really usable due to peeling coatings, and some dishes and cabinets were not very clean. The property manager said she is fixing all of that. The water is not really potable except via a small filter in the kitchen sink. The whole house needs an active filter system and bottled water should have been provided due to the water smell and discoloration. My spouse thought the mattress was uncomfortable. Even with those issues, we loved the location and recommend it if you bring your own water and maybe a mattress topper with you or the owner provides them.
The smooth process of booking and Kimberly’s hosting with this beautiful, we’ll equipped, clean, well appointed rental/vacation house ! It made us want and plan to go back again whenever possible.
Kim was very accommodating with questions we have. It made a difference. We enjoyed our stay knowing she’ll be on anything that we had or might have challenges with.
We visit Surfside regularly from Chicago with lots of Houston area family. It was our 1st time at Wahoo and it was perfect! Loved the location and plenty of room for family visitors. The open kitchen and dining area made for a great lively atmosphere and the unobstructed view from the deckof the sunrise over the gulf with coffee on the deck was spectacular. We all especially enjoyed the beach from youngsters to seniors. Look forward to a return visit!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Kimberly’s property! We cooked a lot of meals and loved eating outside on the huge porch overlooking the ocean. Kimberly was a wonderful host and quick to respond to our questions. We hope to return next year!

Great View!!
This is a great place to stay! The home was well maintained, beautifully decorated, and the view is like no other! Great access to the beach...My family and I truly loved how spacious the house was. Parking was great, neighbors were friendly, and overall the ambiance of the home was stunning! Will definitely visit this place again!
This home has a fantastic location with easy, walking access to the beach. Stake out your place on the beach early, as it quickly fills up with cars.
The owner was quick to respond to the few issues we found in the home, hand delivering a replacement remote. I would stay again.

Very spacious with an at home feel to it.
This place is perfect. It overlooks the beach with easy access to and from it. The beach house is very clean, comfortable and well maintained. We enjoyed sitting out on the huge balcony and hearing the calm sound of the waves rolling in on the beach. The nautical theme through out the house was very nice and eye catching. We will definitely book our next stay here.
The house was great. Rooms for everyone. Plenty of space in main room and kitchen. Walk to the beach was easy. My family has made a beach trip every year for 12 years. Wahoo is top three all time.
Over night stay for 5 clients to go off shore fishing
Very nice beach home. Emphasize on the Very.
Super clean and accomodating. Great elevated deck to enjoy the ocean and beach view.
Only wish we had a few more days to enjoy all it had to offer!w
The property was beautiful and perfect for anyone wanting to be on the beach. Had an amazing time.
Communication was perfect. Always received a quick response to any questions I had. And they made certain to check in with us to make sure our stay was everything we wanted it to be.
Amazing home right on the beach. I couldnt get over how beautiful this place is. We flew in to visit family and to have a kick back and relax day after getting married 2 days prior in Florida and this place was perfect. The home is decorated so beautifully and has everything you need to

Wahoo beach house.
The Wahoo beach house was great. Beautiful view from the front porch and main room. Very clean upon arrival. Kimberly with Peak Properties was always available to address any of our questions. Wish it was for sale.

A dreamy stay! High end and homey at the same time. Exceptional hospitality and perfect location!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The beach house is gorgeous. As soon as we arrived there was a snack basket and stocked coffee station ready for us. The home is stunning and furnished with everything we needed for an amazing stay, and more! The kitchen is open concept with lots of seating for everyone to gather. The wall of windows at the front of the beach house showcased the breathtaking view. The laundry room has a washer and dryer, a large counter, a mini frig, and a wine frig. The four bedrooms provided plenty of room for our large family to sleep comfortably. There were games, speakers for music, and tv's in every room for winding down. The location and views can't be beat. We had a private bridge for easy access to and from the beach. There is a huge front deck with rocking chairs and furniture to enjoy the waves, drink coffee, and watch the sunrise. Our bedroom also led to a spacious deck facing the sunset. It is the best of both worlds. I was so impressed with the beach management. Patrons can pay to drive on the beach, must park opposite of the water, traffic is one way, and during Jeep week the beach was cleared by dark. We cannot wait to go back. We already feel it is our home away from home. The attention to detail and hospitality from the owners made our stay delightful and we felt completely spoiled. A true dream get-away.
