Beautiful Home

This is our second stay at this beautiful home! The home is located right on the beach, with sweeping views from all areas/bedrooms of the house. The home is stocked very well with anything you may need in the kitchen! We stayed for the 4th of July holiday and let me tell you! You will never see a better firework show anywhere!!! It was amazing. The home offers plenty of space for up to 14 people comfortably. Love this place and our family will be back!

Fitch Family 2024

The home was beautiful, very clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need plus some and the two refrigerators were a huge bonus. Patti is a wonderful hostess and very easy to communicate with. The beach walkover was destroyed by hurricane Beryl, just a few weeks prior to our stay, but the beach access road was just two lots away. We would love to stay again if we go back to that area. communicatecommunicateThebedswere very comfortable.

Great Family Getaway!

My family and I came down while Surfside was still cleaning up from Beryl and the power was just restored the day before we were to arrive. I was in contact with Patti during the days before and even though she was dealing with her own issues with her home she was still able to get some new carpet and clean up done for us so we could still have our trip. She was very upfront as to the conditions that were still present and what we should expect and there was not a thing that she was wrong about, even the mosquitos. Thank you Patti for all you and your family did for my family so this could still happen. It was a great trip!

Perfect Week at the Beach

We loved our stay here! The location was perfect for what we were looking for… easy beach access from the house and close to vehicle access points for when we wanted to drive our tent, coolers, etc. to our spot on the beach. This area of beach was not overcrowded at all during our trip. The house fit our needs perfectly. Lots of comfortable seating in the common areas and the beds were all very comfortable as well. The second living space upstairs was great for the night owls in the family to watch TV or read. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Stay

We had a group of 12 family members, ranging in age from 16-80. Every single person LOVED this home and rated it a 10/10 in every way-location, cleanliness, amenities, beauty. My daughter is disabled and can't walk far, but she had no trouble getting right to the beach and back due to the close proximity, right out the front door and across the walkway. I chose this home, and thank goodness my entire family is still raving about our stay.

Family Vacay

This place has everything you could possibly need or want for a beach vacay. Location is awesome, view is beautiful. The amenities were perfect for our family. The kitchen is FULLY stocked w every type of pan, cooking device, serving utensil, plates, cups, etc. Floor plan is great for entertaining. All kinds of indoor and out door toys for kids. The owner / manager was awesome to work with. Yes- you have to bring drinking water, but we do that anyway, no matter where we go. We had a great time in a beautiful home on the beach!!

The Perfect Relaxing Getaway

This is the perfect property for a family beach getaway in Surfside. The house is clean and has great space, in that there is an main floor and upstairs living area with televisions. The kitchen is open concept and perfect for group gatherings. The beds are very comfy - we all had a great nights x 3 sleep! I have never seen a better stocked kitchen, as far as any pan, dish or utensil you might need to use. I think maybe the best thing was the walkway over to the beach. Perfect! The water is stinky and not for drinking-this is normal for any beach house in this area. Bring water. Be sure to shut the door after you walk in so you don't get mosquitos in the house. Mosquitos are normal for this area. Water from recent rains sits out in the grassy dunes all down the beach, and you get mosquitos. The wonderful ocean breeze kept them away 95% of the time so this was not a problem. We really enjoyed sitting out on the back veranda, in the beautiful chairs. We would definately return to rent this beach house again!

Family Beachhouse

The purpose of our vacation was for a week of healing after the lost of our son, my daughter's only brother,and our grandchildren's favorite uncle.The beachhouse was just perfect for the three families that stayed. It had a warm and fuzzy feeling , a home away from home. The kitchen couldn't have been stocked better. Beds were amazing and lots and lots of pillows. The web site mentioned you could experience issues with reception but we did not experience any issues with the cable TV,Wifi,or cell phone reception. I will say Saturday the beach was super busy and so was the evening traffic, but the rest of our stay it was quiet and peaceful. Washer/dryer were awesome. I think the only improvement I could suggest would be to invest in a filter system for drinking water. However, this was not a surpise as we knew ahead of time and made sure to have plenty on hand. Patricia did respond quickly with any questions or concerns we had. Overall our family had a great experience and really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful beach house to relax right on the beach!

This was our third year staying at this beach house. Obviously we love the house! Each year multiple generations have enjoyed the house. Last year we had 4 generations; this year we had 3 generations - grandparents through grandchildren for a total of ten people. The beach house is located in a perfect place - right on the beach - nothing blocking your views of the water. The house has 2 levels: 2 bedrooms/1 bath plus a living area on each level. There were a lot of upgrades to the home since our stay last year! It was clean and well-maintained and had all the comforts of home: the beds are great; the furniture was in good shape; the kitchen was well-equipped - even had 2 refrigerators (a real plus since we ate all our meals at the house); plenty of towels for the bathroom. The only negative was the lack of a pantry - but we ended up using some shelving used for displaying knick knacks. Our favorite thing to do besides being on the beach was to sit on the second level porch and watch the waves during the day or the stars at night! We fished from the shore, built sandcastles and boogie boarded. Patti was great to work with - she called within minutes of our arrival to ensure everything was in order. Great beach house! Highly recommended!

Title is required

We normally car camp up and down the beach all year, but once a year we splurge and get a house, and this house was a great choice! There are little details here that make the difference. Plenty of towels and blankets, paper products provided. The staircase is carpeted! This may not sound like a big deal, but carpet in a beach house is rare and appreciated. This house is tall so there is a great view of the beach side and the bay side - sunrise and sunset. Lots of stuff to cook with, even an Instant Pot. Two large dehumidifiers. Also if you splurge on anything when renting a beach house - pay to have a beach front house with a walkway. The convenience of going back and forth so easily in the heat is worth the cost if you can afford it. This house is on the free beach, which means you don't need to buy a sticker to drive on it. This area doesn't have bars and restaurants within walking distance like Surfside, but it is less crowded so we always prefer it. The county water is bad - it's bad everywhere and particularly right now because of the transition - so don't blame the property owners. Bring lots of water to cook with and be prepared for an unpleasant smell in the shower. If you don't believe me just join a couple of the Surfside facebook groups and watch the frustration for yourself. Overall a really great place. Every year we get a different house depending on budget and needs, but this one was so great we might just be back!

Thanksgiving

This was the most well stocked rental we’ve EVER booked! They clearly alerted us to the water situation. So for 3 nights, 9 people plus 3 extra for thanksgiving day we went through 11 gallons of water, that included coffee and tea. Just an FYI. We loved the house, it’s hard to find one with an extra living space and having a TV room upstairs fitted our needs very well. I highly recommend this home.

No drinkable water is a problem

The house looks just like the pictures, but nothing in the description says that you can't drink the water. Not having potable water for 10 people was a real problem. I tried to drink some before seeing the sign and had a mildly upset stomach the next 2 days. We had to buy water for drinking, cooking and brushing teeth. The little sign over the kitchen sink after checking in was not proper notice. Had we known, we never would have rented the house. Nothing was done to make drinking water available. The house was clean enough, but there was a mosquito problem that needs to be addressed both in and out of the house. We talked to the owner and were told to avoid evening and early morning walks on the raised walk to the beach or drive to the beach. The mosquitoes were out regardless of the time of day and were on the decks and in the house. The bug spray provided did not do enough. They came in on our clothing and things and there was no trap to control them inside or out. There should have been a fan under the house near the shower spigot and on the decks, especially by the main door. We could not keep them out of our car when we left and found a number of them still alive when we unpacked our car at home. I counted 35 bites on one knee. It appears that the septic tank on the house nextdoor overflows which may have compounded the problem since there was standing water in the yard. Check-in and check-out did not go smoothly. We couldn't open the automatic lock, but the owner gave us the combination to get the key from the box. Checkout was time consuming and included having to find the place to dispose of our trash with no public dumpster and no map to follow their instructions. Per the owner's instructions " 2). Collect and Remove all the trash. Take the trash to the surfside crabbing pier dumpsters only a mile from the beach house..."There were 12 separate instructions including emptying nonexistant dehumidifiers. I was told there was a packet of information in the house but we never found it. Also, the slats were on the floor under the queen bed when we arrived. Our children had to put the bed back together and said it was very uncomfortable. The biggest issue by far was the lack of drinking water and lack of information about this prior to renting.

The Perfect Beach Getaway

This is our 3rd year staying at this property and it NEVER disappoints! Patti's house has everything you could possibly want or need while vacationing at the beach. The kitchen has every tool, pot, and pan you need to create wonderful food. The kids love the bunk room that has toys and fun blankets (our daughter loves the mermaid blanket). The beds are super comfortable(I usually bring my own pillows but not on this trip)! And you can't beat the location and views!! Patti is always a text message away and responds super fast. We love staying here and will continue to be repeat guests! Couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in Surfside!
