Overall the stay was great. Had a minor issue with the AC. But we communicated the issue to Kat and they had someone out the next day. Fixed the issue. Probably from the storm. You can see the beach and neighborhood is still recovering from the storm. But we throughly enjoyed our time. The house was clean and we had everything that we could need. The balcony overlooking the ocean was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again!

We were surprised and a little unnerved about the rattle snake habitat next to house. But all was good never seen a snake. Beach is
A few steps away. My husband enjoyed watching big ships coming . Need some dishes to be able warm things in microwave. Smaller skillet needs replaced. But other than that kitchen was efficient. The doors to bedrooms stick. The one door is hard to shut.Furniture ok. The Queen bed is really soft you sink in the middle. No air in bedroom but there is a fan.

Perfect option for a couple night stay! All expectations met, and easy in and out.

It was a great stay overall, steps from the beach so I could sit on the deck and watch the kids (12 and 15) plan in the sand, the gate on the deck was great to keep the dog from running down. Everything was clean and in fairly good condition. We didn't cook but the kitchen would have allowed it. Only minor flaws in our opinion was the smaller deck chairs were a bit flimsy, and my husband felt the queen bed was too soft, but he's a back sleeper and likes a super firm mattress. I slept like a baby. We'd for sure consider staying again. The outdoor shower was perfect to get the sand washed off before heading up. We really had a great weekend.

Wonderful location with great views! We stay in Surfside frequently and really enjoyed this location, you can’t get any closer to the beach. Host was very responsive. The house is smaller than what we are used to (family of 5) but the layout worked and it was clean!

We stayed here in December and basically had the beach to ourselves. It's wonderful to walk down the stairs, take a few steps, and be on the beach. This truly is a great location. This is a pedestrian only beach, so it's nice and quiet without trucks all over. Great views from the windows, deck, and the beach is basically your yard. We found a lot of shells, were visited by a variety of birds, and saw several huge ships come into port. Highly recommend.

It was the perfect size for 2 and 2 fur babies. Perfect views, the house had everything we needed. We forgot our cards, well they had some. The fur babies could run free on the deck. We all had a great time.

On the pedestrian only beach. The whole area reminds me of a old beach community. We will be back!

Literally steps away from the beach .. maybe four steps! The house is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay - perfect size for the two of us and our fur baby. My favorite part is the deck and the great view we had of the ocean and the jetty. Will keep this in on my favorites list!

The house was very clean and I can't say enough about the location. This is probably the best beach house I have ever stayed in. And we go very often. And the owner answered questions within minutes. Thank you Kat. I will be back.

We stayed at Surf Rider in 2020 and came back this summer for another 3 night stay. Property is in a great location- just steps from the beach. Kat, the host, is very easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. The pictures/description of listing were very accurate. Property was clean and we will be back!

Our birthdays are just before Memorial Day so we were looking for a place close to the water. We had a beautiful view of the Gulf. Only a minute to walk to the beach and when the heat or crowd got a little much, we could retreat to the overlooking deck. Interior was beautiful, well laid out and equipped. The host Kat stayed in touch and made sure we had everything we needed and answered all questions. Overall, an amazing stay and we're looking forward to doing it again!

Just steps away from the beach and walking distance to the jetty. The water was a little rough because of storms so we went sat on the jetty and watched the surfers. (This a good place to stay if you want to fish off the jetty). The house had everything we needed - the kitchen is very well stocked with appliances and utensils.
