The rental property was equipped with everything we could possibly need to enjoy a wonderful time in the beach. I was however, unable to make contact or get a respond to my messages from the property owner. It was a little stressful as our date drew near. Luckily, 6 hours before check in, I was contacted with instructions to enter the property. I would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was perfect for our family. We had a grandma and grandpa and three adult children. Two of our children are married and brought their children. The rooms with the triple bunk beds was just perfect. Trust me, I looked for a long time to find the right house. The beach was very close and that's where we spent most of our week. We made some amazing memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Evolve!!

This house is a comfortable location for a group get together. Very close to beach. Large kitchen and great deck. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which is quite convenient. It has all the needed supplies. Also, the management company responded immediately to all questions.
Lovely place for Surfside!

Wanted time away to spend together at the beach and this did not disappoint. It might be nice to let renters know at booking how to access beach by foot and that car access, if desires requires a $12 pass. Otherwise the location and layout of the property suited us well!

The area was very close to the beach the house was decent We had issues with brown water running out the shower head . The shower curtain was broken We saw roaches and spider webs on the ceiling . The bathrooms wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been. There was no mops and they wanted us to strip the beds that was slept in and start a load of clothes for them . Why we had to pay a cleaning fee if we have to do all the cleanup for them. The owners was great but who’ve r they hired to clean need to do a better job.

Perfect for large family group
We all loved the location, easy walk to the beach - well equipped, clean, and perfect for multiple family group. Everyone liked having a separate bedroom and adjoining bathroom for each family - so much easier than dragging all your stuff in and out each time you used bathrooms shared by multiple people. We had some functioning errors, but the host replied quickly to make it right - great week!!!

This house was even more gorgeous than the pictures. It had enough room to fit our group of 16 very comfortably with extra beds to spare. The kitchen was stocked better than any house I’ve ever rented and I’ve rented nearly two dozen over the years.
Very short walk to the beach and close to nearby restaurants and shops. Even better there is a Bucees within five minutes from there.
I would definitely like to stay here again in the future.

This was a family gathering and most of us are in our 50’s and 60’s. The house is very comfortable; there are 4 bedrooms and each has its own bathroom. In each bedroom is a queen sized bed and 3 bunk beds. Each bedroom has a tv. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, cutlery, utensils and even a coffee pot. The refrigerator and separate freezer are very big with ample room for your food and beverages. The large dining table was perfect for our family meals and games. There are board games in one of the bedroom closets. Underneath the house are a couple of storage chests with toys for the kids. And also underneath are showers and a foot shower to rinse off to help minimize tracking sand in the house. There’s a BBQ pit / grill, so bring your charcoal and enjoy cooking over hot coals. There are a couple of accesses to the beach. Even with some rain during the evening, we enjoyed our stay in this house and on Surfside Beach!

Family of 14 ages from 1year to grandma and grandpa. House was perfect for our large family. Loved having separate rooms with their own bathrooms and plenty of options for the kids to sleep. Kitchen easily supported cooking large meals, refrigerator was massive for keeping everything we needed for a 4 day stay.
Close walk to the beach or a very short drive to bring all the equipment needed to enjoy a full day in the sun.
Only recommendations for improvement. The audio system in the living room was tricky to work with, couldn't get the sound bar working. The living room couch was comfortable but required a lot of adjustment as the cushions came off easily with mobile kids.

The set-up of this property is fabulous for multiple families. Each family has their own room with the ability to sleep 5 plus a bathroom. There are two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. We had a 5-month old and 3-yr old with us during this trip - each in an upstairs bedroom. The upstairs bedrooms were quiet enough for the little ones to sleep while the parents stayed up late laughing and playing games.
Great communication with the property manager and super easy walk to the beach.
A few tips if you rent this property:
- be sure to remember your toiletries
- the bunk beds are not made with sheets before you get there (only made with the comforters); sets of sheets are provided in the bedrooms but we didn't realize the bunks themselves weren't made until we were crawling into bed late (which caused some issues while trying not to wake up little ones in the same room)
- bring extra pillowcases as we couldn't find pillowcases for the bunks

spacious house near the beach
This property was great for large family and groups. It was very close walk to the beach; about 5 minutes. Bedrooms and bunks + private bathrooms were wonderful for our family. The kitchen was large and the dining table could seat our large group together. Washer and dryer were very helpful.
The owners were very responsive when I contacted them about a clogged shower and someone came out within the hour to fix.
I understand that they provided us with a starter number of trash bags-- but there was only 1. The kitchen had no clothes or sponges to wash dishes, which having a few would be helpful. The kitchen had a ton of cookie sheets, but no baking dishes.
The couch is awful and needs a serious replacement. The kids would sit on it and the cushions would slide off or the couch would separate. It needs to be trashed.
I would also bring gallons of water-- as the tap water had a yellow tint.
Without a doubt, we would stay at this property again.

Pros:The Surfside beach is very clean and beautiful. The walk to the beach from the house is not too far. The house is very pretty and in great shape. The refrigerator and freezer are big. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and ac unit. Big dining table. Fully stocked kitchen. Shower outside to wash off.Cons:The kitchen pantry is locked by owner, so we had to store enough food for 14 people, for 4 days, on the countertops, messy. The couch was comfortable but old and always seemed to be coming apart where it was supposed to stay connected. If you like a super firm bed, then these are for you. Oddly, we were asked to pull the bedspreads down and not use them to sleep, but they provided no additional blankets to be used in its place. I suggest bringing your own towels. They were sparse.

Ideal beach home
This was the perfect home to stay for a brief beach getaway.
This is a friendly home for families with young children. Our contact person during our stay was very responsive and friendly. Everything was clean and my favorite part was the fact that every room and family had their private bathroom. The kitchen had everything you'd need to prep and have meals. Double oven was perfect for our pizza night and the fridge perfectly accommodated everyone's food.
We would definitely go back for an even longer stay.

House was clean. Had everything you need in the kitchen along with big refrigerator and freezer. More than enough room inside and outside. Close walk to beach along with view and sound of the beach. I didn't want to leave. Just have some mosquito repellent for the walk to the beach and under house at night. Will book again. Host was great also.
