They say in Real Estate the three important aspects is Location, Location, Location and this is also true in Vacation Rentals.This Beach House is huge on the inside. Although we only slept 8 people, there was room for twice as many. It’s like having 2 apartments with a shared kitchen and dining room. The whole place was super clean and everything was functional. Very tastefully decorated that had a great Beach feel to it.The elevator was wonderful for bringing everything in and taking it all back out when leaving No carrying luggage and such up 3 flights of stairs. This was a major added bonus!The Hot Tub was another nice touch. Easy to operate and the perfect way to end the day.All of this was great, but the service and communication with January at 979, the Company that operates the Property really made the entire experience exceptional.We had a self-inflicted issue after leaving Sunday morning.I reached out to January via text and figured I would hear back from her Monday during normal business hours as it was trivial.She got back with me within 15 minutes, had already contacted the Property Owners and resolved the issue. I have never received that quick of a response from a Management Company let alone on Sunday morning.Thank you January!I feel the biggest plus you can leave in a Review is whether of not you will use the Product or Service again.We will be staying at this property again in the future.

We loved the property. There were just a few glitches The light in the pink bedroom with one bunk bed is burned out and I didn't realize that my earbuds had fallen out until I got home since it was dark in the room and plugging a lamp in to turn off/on is not kosher. The only BIG complaint is that when we went to load the dishwasher the smell rotten fish permeated the whole top floor. We ran an empty cycle but it made one of our people sick it was so bad. Also the garbage disposal stank. Cleaning crew needs to check both It’s sad some vacationers do that to properties The battery for the remote for the fireplace is dead; not that big of a deal since one member has a similar fireplace so knew where controls are located but someone else might not. We got a kick out of the elevator I would like my earbuds back if found Thank you so much for the amenities

Internet went out and Ashley was so helpful to get it repaired. Cynthia came and stayed with the repairman so we could leave. Kitchen was equipped with dishes and utensils. I would like to have more room to have stored items we brought with us. It had elevator which helped with someone with bad back. There was some minor repairs needed such as inside showers missing handles and 2nd floor sliding door would not lock and some lights were out to name a few.

Very responsive when we needed maintenance even on a Sunday! Very spacious and comfortable. Suggestion: because the home had an elevator, we assumed the house was handicap friendly. Grab bars around the toilet and inside the shower of the bedroom suite on the main floor(3rd floor) would have been helpful to my wheelchair bound dad. He was only able to give himself a sponge bath while there and required assistance while using the restroom.

Great stay
This house was great! We had 3 families staying in one house. Loved the indoor elevator. That was a back lifesaver. House was clean and everything worked well. We only had a couple issues with a bunkbed rail being broken and the fire alarm went off for no reason. Maintenence came out and fixed it right away. For our group needs the beds were an odd choice in layout but we made it work. Mattresses definitely need to be replaced but overall it was great. We LOVED the giant table that fit all of us.

Super Beachfront House
This was our 24th annual family beach trip and this house was one of the best - 2 minutes from house to beach. It is a very spacious house with plenty of room for large groups of all ages. Good size bedrooms and large common areas are a real plus and the kitchen is well equipped with a dining table that seats 14.

Good times
We had a good time. However we were very disappointed with the upkeep. The hot tub never worked (main reason I booked this home). The kitchen faucet was hanging on for dear life. None of the pots were good enough to cook on a ceramic cook top, the regular oven did not work (had to improvise and use the little oven). The reverse osmosis water filter gave us a 1/2 cup of water two times. The dishwasher was difficult to get to run. I have to say the living area and bedrooms were exceptionally large and accommodating. Please give this house an uplift.We do not ever expect perfection when we rent properties, just want the advertised goods to work properly.

Amazing home in a great location
The listing was a little inaccurate as in, they under committed and over delivered. They had extra beach tents, chairs and toys. They also had more bathrooms than listed. This house is located with perfect access to everything from the beach to the mall to the pier to restaurants, etc. There had been flooding a few weeks back in the area causing issues with the natural landscape and dunes but you could not tell in the house, it was great.
As always we could have used a few more hooks and towels. Also a Phillips head screwdriver could fix a lot of little things worn in the house.
We loved our time there and hope the home was not too damaged in the recent hurricane Beryl.

We loved the layout of the house with our group. Adults stayed on top floor and teen girls stayed on 2nd floor. Elevator was a life saver. Couple things I would take a look at. Need to update kitchen utensils. We could not find kitchen scissors? I would have hot tub instructions. Door lock instructions. Shower instructions? The master bath on 3rd flower must have a broken shower head. We could only get sprayer to work. We do give a 5 star though because we had a great time and enjoyed the place. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent and rejuvenating
The house was terrific...right on the beach with access over the dune via a small walking bridge.
The property was in a terrific location with a restaurant a short walk away. Instacart grocery delivery was available to the house so we did not even have to leave.
The home was clean and well supplied with towels and kitchen necessities. The hot tub was a very welcome amenity after a day on the beach where we could still enjoy the sounds and sights of the ocean while relaxing.
The elevator was very helpful for move in and move out. The check out list was very small and significantly less arduous than most rental listings we have stayed in.
Overall excellent property and good communication and expectation setting with the managers.

Beachside fun
We really enjoyed staying in Surfside - it was our first time. I had some concerns with recent reviews of the property but reached out to management prior to the start of our visit and felt like all issues had been addressed. Unit was clean and spacious. Not being able to drink or cook with surfside water was a slight headache but it’s mentioned frequently so we just purchased water ahead of time. The unit is really close to Beachfront restaurant which was great to walk to; however, the unit’s proximity led to us in the master bedroom being able to hear the music well into the night + sounds of people driving their vehicles (and getting stuck) in the sand at all hours of the night. Hardly anyone abided by the warnings of soft sand (which actually proved to be entertaining in itself). We would rent here again. Had one issue with sinks not draining and did have management call me back quickly and maintenance was in the unit the next morning. We had a great stay!
