Surf Shack on 24th- Walking Distance to Beach!

Ambience, location, furnishings, parking are the top four priorities when searching for the perfect vacation spot. You found a hidden gem!! This is two blocks from the beach on a less than busy street. Tucked away close to the seawall with restaurants and bars within two blocks. Side porch off the living room is perfect after a long day at the beach and there is a rear deck and side patio with a shower to rinse after coming home from the beach. GVR13386

This place was so cute, clean, and organized. We would rent it again without hesitation. Everything was well organized from the amenities in the house to the check in and out process. 5 minutes or less to the beach, pleasure pier, restaurants, and shops. Easy to just park the car and walk everywhere. Be sure to bring your own coffee (1 pod provided) and oil for cooking.

Our stay in this phone was good. It's really cute but it's a lot smaller than it shows in the listings. But if you got like six people or more it's pretty small cuz the sofa bed is very uncomfortable but it is a cute little home. Got a cute little area outside for sitting and barbecuing overall. Very enjoyable trip. We did enjoy it. It was comfy and cozy and cute right close to the beach. That was the best part. Thank you for having us. Hope to book with y'all again sometime in the future

Very disappointed with the surf shack. I stayed there for 2 nights and had no hot water. I called the management company but nothing was done. The thermostat was so complicated I could not turn on the heat, so I had no heat for 2 nights. The front couch had stains on it and the shower floor was very old and cracked. Did not enjoy my stay there . The good point was that the house is very close to the beach, about 4 blocks away.Thank you, AL

The only positive about this place was it was close to the beach. From the very start the lock pad did not work. We were given the wrong code, and when we called they couldn't give us a correct one. The house is very small. It says 2 bedrooms, I would not all this a 2 bedroom house. There was one room you that had a very shaky bunkbed, you had to go through the bedroom to get to it. There are no doors on either "bedroom". The window would bang loudly every time it was windy. Waking us up from our sleep. The cold air came in from the outside due to windows not being sealed. The shower is terrible. It is tiny. I was unable to shave my legs without cutting myself multiple times. The pullout bed was disgusting. The tree in the back/side yard drops so many berries and seed, you can't enjoy being out there. They were all over the ground, chairs, and our shoes every time we went over to the area to let the dogs out. They are also toxic to dogs. The pictures show paddle boards, you are not able to use the one there, as it is locked up. They table is a patio table with 2 chairs. This place may be ok for two people, but I would not put more than that in here. This is not a place we would stay again or suggest to any friends or family.

There was dog hair everywhere, especially on the chairs and couches which were also stained. The carpets were stained as well and felt like the place hadn’t had a proper cleaning in a long time due to my feet being dirty just walking through. The plugs were coming out of the walls and didn’t feel safe along with roaches/water bugs crawling around. The place was dirty and did
