10.0 / 10.0
This house is super close to the pedestrian beach with a great patio. With smaller kids, it was more relaxing to stay where we didn’t need to worry about cars on the beach. Growing up close to surfside, we have stayed at many beach houses but this was definitely a favorite. Often the houses smell of mold and the tap water is yellow with an awful smell. The tap water here was so much better and the bottled water machine was a huge plus for drinking water. Kat was such a great host with prompt instructions and responses. Highly recommend this house and we plan to rent this location again!

The property was amazing more than we could have ever hoped for. The Host Kat, had to cancel our forst reservation and gave us an upgrade at the same price. She is a stand up person and made our stay the greatest with all the little things you forget to bring provided. Great communication, and availability. Just amazing!!!
10.0 / 10.0
We had a great overall stay, even right after Hurricane Beryl..there were a couple leaks, but the owner was right in it to get it fixed. They even offered to refund our stay if we wanted to cancel our trip. But we decided we wanted to stay and we are glad we did. The host was amazing!! The house was clean, a/c worked great and the location is perfect!
10.0 / 10.0
This house was perfect for our family, including my 2 grandsons (11/2 and 3). It was clean and comfortable and had a great view of the beach from our second floor porch! The beach was very close to the house. The host was also very helpful and answered my questions quickly ( especially the one about how to turn on the TV!).
8.0 / 10.0
This house was maybe a 30 second walk to Surside’s best beach for kiddos! The host was wonderful and extremely quick to answer. Other than a few very minor cosmetic things, the house was perfect! We really enjoyed our stay and loved the house was pet friendly! Would definitely recommend!

The house was a great location to the beach and had multiple stores nearby. Fun to see dolphins while walking on the jetty. House had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

This was a perfect house for our 2-family vacation that included an infant, 3 toddlers, and 2 primary school aged kids. The distance from the beach was perfect and ample space for everyone inside. The kitchen is basic, but if you’re really into cooking you might want to bring your own essentials (eg sharp knife, etc). Thank you for a lovely vacation.

The property was great and Kat was great to communicate with during our stay. The house is a 2 minute walk to the beach. The kids and adults all had plenty of space. The only thing is that the BBQ pit could be replaced. Otherwise, all positives from us. Highly recommend.

Our family of 11 enjoyed this comfortable house with a large table for our meals and games, The master bed was very comfortable! The sand pit under the house made a great place to hangout in the shade. It would have been even better if the swing could be hung to face the sand pit play area.

We met our son and daughter and their families at the beach house. Just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect! Everyone enjoyed themselves and we (almost) had enough room for everyone. We barbecued, roasted marshmallows, and walked on the jetty. Great place to stay!!

This was a great house to stay to enjoy the beach. It had lots of beds and bathrooms as well as a fully stocked kitchen. The porch had lots of seating areas and the living room has a very large sectional couch and a huge table with benches for lots of people to gather around. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone that wants a great beach getaway. We had a wonderfully relaxing time! Thank you :)

I’ve been to Surfside many times! This is the first time we have stayed close to pedestrian beach instead of the public beach. The house was in the perfect spot. Loved the outdoor shower and the kids loved the sandbox when we weren’t on the beach!

We love this rental!
This is our 2nd time staying at the Moondancer for our family vacation. Located only half a block from the beach and has been recently updated. We look forward to future trips here.

House was exactly what was expected.
Kids playing in provided sand box area found and removed a few pieces of glass with no harm. Other items found upon checkin...1 boogie board was snapped in half and 1 of the fresh drawers in the fridge was cracked..These are all things to be noted probably due to natural wear and tear creating no problems during our stay. The overall experience was outstanding by all in our group. The VRBO listing could only be improved by adding pictures highlighting beach toys provided as we purchased and brought our own. Again, this was an excellent property for our purpose and I would recommend it to all.

Location
Location of the house was perfect to the beach. A walk to the beach access was just the best thing ever. Some things I didn’t like was the public access was over crowded and parked on the side of the property with so many different people going in and out. There was even a group that just walked through the property to get to the beach.

Perfect for a family Spring Break getaway
My family of 12 (6 adults and 6 children under the age of 12) rented this home for a Spring Break trip. We loved the location of the house. It's on the pedestrian part of the beach and it was not as crowded. We loved the proximity to the beach. It was easy to go back and forth since it was right there. We all enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. It was also easy to get to local restaurants and little shops. The kids enjoyed seeing all the big ships coming into the channel. Owner was attentive. Overall great home that fit our family perfect and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Multi-Family Getaway!!
We had such a perfect getaway at Moondancer!! The house was perfect for our two families during Spring Break. The upstairs has 2 bedroooms (one with 3 beds) and bathroom. The downstairs has a connecting king room with bunk room and bathroom. The location was fantastic- just a few steps away from the beach. The house had everything you could want for kids- games, beach toys, sand and swing under the house. The property manager was very responsive and immediately checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.
We will definitely return!!

Moondancer stay 2.0
We had a wonderful time again at Moondancer. We stayed with our family which included three kids and six adults. It has easy access to the beach, just steps away. There is a clear view of the beach and nice covered areas to be outside in as well. There is a porch swing and sandbox did kids to play in or throw horseshoes. The inside is very clean and well cared for .
