Beautiful beach house and just perfect for our stay.

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay. The condo is as close to the beach as you can get and has all the essentials. We walked to a nearby bar and grill for some excellent sea food and spent most of our trip on the beach directly

Happy with the experience.

We stayed during the recent tropical storm. Had really high tides, but we were lucky and did not flood. Beautiful location right on the beach! Needs a little updating for the price, but we enjoyed our stay. Need to be more forth coming with pet fees. Listing was vague about fees and costs. Cost an extra $220 for my two small pups that was charged after I booked and had already paid for my stay.

We enjoyed 4 nights here. It is right on the beach and we had fun resting and playing. The dishes were dirty, a stair was broken and the bed squeaked so bad it was barely any sleep. The futon is really small and only space for one person. The management fixed the stair and apologized for the dirty dishes. No luck on sleeping though. The condo was otherwise clean and free of mold (often a problem at the beach). It was quite sufficient for our needs.

The beach access was perfect! Just steps from our door. The place was just big enough for the two of us! It was a little dated, however, and the stove was too small.

2.0 / 5.0
First the location was exactly what we wanted. Off the porch and onto the beach with 24/7 surf view and surf sounds.;
Property management has some issues. Seems to be conflict with this property or owner. The person checking the property prior to arrival must have simply opened the door to see that cleaning was finished. Nothing seems to have been inspected. Hazards were broken step on long entry stairs; lamp with no bulb in live socket; broken microwave; ceiling fan in bedroom almost self destructed; internet was out and living room TV did not work. Cox guy showed up late the second day (owner drove in from Houston to meet him) and removed broken router. This killed both TVs and left the property without internet assigned to it. Luckily I caught him before he left and got access to other building routers, otherwise there would have been no internet or television. Management did nothing for the TVs but I managed to figure them out. But, essentially 2 days were burned doing things that should have already been done. A few minor little things would make the stay more pleasant, such as a lamp near the couch for reading; towel bars or hooks in the bathroom and coat hooks elsewhere.

great location
This unit was very cute. It was perfect for both of us. The location is right on the beach. Walk down the stairs and there's the sand leading to the water. Will surely book again.

Relaxing bday celebration
My husband and I celebrated his 70th bday quietly- just the two of us. The location is excellent whereby the beach is just a few steps away. The bed and bedsheets were comfortable and clean. We had a very good night sleep on our first night but on the second night, we slept later than we used to because we heard a lot of running footsteps and jumping from the renters directly on top of us and newly arrived. We didn’t complain because we understand how it is with small children. The coffeemaker was not working and 2 out of 4 burners were not working. I made management aware so they can address the issues for the next renters. I would also recommend better cleaning of the toilet bowl. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
5.0 / 5.0
Lucky
Good local restaurants. Some better than others. We were lucky and were the only tenants on the property. Started with a beautiful storm and cleared for the rest of the week. Beaches were clean and well maintained and patrolled.
3.0 / 5.0
Disappointed
Probably a good spot for a 20 something couple looking for a place to hang out at the beach but not for someone looking for a little more refinement. The place was clean but not appealing. When I passed on our disappointment to the leasing agent I got no response after the initial reply. We did not stay.

Fantastic location
The location of this condo is everything. Right on the beach, beautiful view, multiple restaurants in walking distance.

Great stay!
Overall stay was fantastic! Off season so the beach was basically empty while there. Hope to visit again in the near future.

Annual Anniversary Trip
This is our second time staying here and we loved each time! You can't beat the proximity to the beach and the endless ocean views!

Quick Get Away
We decided to get away for a few days over the labor day weekend. A coworker recommended Surfside Beach to us so I got on my VRBO app and found this place. It was perfect for the two of us, and would have been very comfortable for four. It was clean, decorated nice, and the best part is that you walk out the door and you are on the beach. Will definetly stay there again.
