My family and I went on our first vacation at Surfside Beach and when we got to the house it was clean and a good location to the beach. We noticed all doors were unlocked. We also noticed some of the pictures that were online was not what we got the swing was broken and the garage was a mess and the gas grill was really dirty and did not work at all we had to go buy one to grill out for my husbands Father’s Day. The dishwasher was broke and wouldn’t run the soap stayed in the holder, the drawer in the fridge was broken and the trash holder was broken, the umbrella on the tables outside would not work. Two TVs in the bedrooms did not work they came on but would not connect to the server at all. The worst thing was the water smell, taking a shower or using the restroom was unbearable the sulfur smell made me gag and it messed with my asthma really bad. I had to take breathing treatments all week long. The house needs a lot of work and may not be being kept up due to the for sale sign out front. The amenities were not what they appeared in the pics that are online. Despite all of this we made the best of our vacation.

This was a GREAT house. Layout is unique that really gives each bedroom privacy. So many balconies and patio sets to relax on. We loved taking the provided kayaks out. The fire pit was amazing in the evenings to spend time around. Kitchen had the bare essentials. The location was great. You could walk to the beach if you wanted 10-15 min walk but there is a free parking lot before you drive onto the beach two minutes down the road. The previous reviews are right, the water smell is AWFUL. Pack plenty to drink and use to cook with. But other than that the house was great and we would recommend.

The quirky whale was roomy, clean, comfortable, and comes with a ton of extras! The wraparound decks offer three seating areas plus the fire pit by the canal is a great place to hang out and check out the stars at night. We took the kayaks out on the intercoastal waterway and checked out a few wrecked boats and a bunch of wildlife including cranes, herons, egrets and migrating monarch butterflies. Read the negative reviews carefully. The water in Freeport/Surfside is a little funky smelling, but that's true no matter where you stay. The kitchen sink has a reverse osmosis unit for drinking water but we brought plenty of drinking water with us for cooking, coffee and brushing teeth. The hot water in the shower has a sulfur smell, but the clothes that we washed in the unit's washer and dryer came out smelling clean and fresh. Compared to other properties, the quirky whale was a great value. With the money you save you can buy plenty of Ozarka!

The house was okay. It fit the needs of what we wanted. There were a few things that happened while we were there. We arrived at our check time and they were still cleaning the house. The toilet in the main bathroom did not work. they came and fixed it, but it was still kind of funky our whole stay. We were warned about the smell of the water used in the house. It was worse than expected. There were empty Coke cans and cigarette butts in the yard and loose boards on the hand rail.
