Beautiful home, perfect location the only thing I would probably recommend changing is during the check out process they want YOU to wash all linens, towels,ext. that’s not very feasible with an 11am check out and be able to get your large family packed up and out the door. We were willing to pay the fee, but it honestly should just be included. Other than that it was an amazing weekend away.

The house was clean and location is nice. Water did not work one night and internet did not work the entire stay. Satellite tv was hit or miss. Electricity was a bit sketchy, the outside lines could be seen arcing off and on all the time. Trash hasn’t been picked up in 2 weeks, water is about a foot deep on the road leading to the house. I understand a hurricane came through but I asked MULTIPLE times if the house was safe to stay in and was assured it was. I had insurance and was ready to use it. We should have. I’m not sure if the quick fixes happened before or after the hurricane but they should have been done correctly instead of quickly. The deck had nails sticking up everywhere, very bad for small children wanting to run around barefoot at the beach. The new stairwell was awful and two adults fell down the stairs. The stairs are uneven, they slope downward, completely unlevel. This makes them very unsafe especially with sand and water added to the mix. The whole house moves every night when the tide comes in. Talked with the “guy” who is the “property contractor” who “fixes” everything and I do not believe his work is up to any standards. I cannot rate this home highly due to the nature of the safety concerns. VRBO should question whether this home should be listed. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. Maybe the owner should actually go to this home before telling renters it is safe to stay in.

The house is roomy and had plenty of beds. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen was very well stocked. We literally could not have been closer to the water. Because of some weather damage, there was a work crew there that were polite, friendly and did what the needed to do. We had to call once for a leak and they were back soon and took care of it immediately. We would definitely like to come again.

4 families stayed in this spacious waterfront home. Unfortunately we arrived at the tail end of hurricane weather so the beach out front was completely under water but we didn’t let that deter us from having an amazing time. We walked a few houses down each day where the water wasn’t quite as high but now we know that booking a house ON the beach does run the risk of high tides. Jennifer was so communicative and helpful, especially with the drama of trying to get to the area when everything was basically flooded. She even offered to put us up at a different house the first night until the waters came down which we considered but ultimately decided to stick with this house which was a good call. The house wasn’t cleaned when we got there but again, this was after pretty bad storms and there was some storm damage keeping people out of the area. Jennifer refunded our cleaning fees and we straightened up as best as we could. I wish there was more lounge-like furniture on the patio (the house we stayed at last year had lots of sectional couch patio furniture so I think we were spoiled by that). The spacious kitchen was great since we cook so much and everyone enjoyed the pool table. This area has lots to do, from the pedestrian beach to the live music at Sharkies which is walking distance. We drove out to the jetty one evening which was really cool to walk down. If you’re looking for a family friendly getaway with lots to do then this is the area for you!

We had to emergency evacuate in a rush a day early because of the flooding from Alberto. Up to that point it was great. This is the second time I've stayed in this house and I hope there wasnt any damage after we fled because I would love to stay again. The house was clean and ready to go when we got there and everything worked as it should. We hated having to leave in such a rush but weather was out of anyones control. Even with the high tide (it was up under the house) and being unable to swim we enjoyed the house. We played pool, watched movies and played cards. Its nice just being that close to the ocean.

Pros: Location, easy communication with owner, two full size refrigerator/freezers, spacious home, large street trash cans available Cons: well worn kitchen bakeware, pans, table, chairs and outside decking. Our group of 7 adults and 3 kids absolutely loved it and would rent again. Bring lots of suntan lotion and mosquito spray. We encountered jelly fish stings and vinegar worked best. Brought gallons and cases of drinking water for cooking and drinking but did not notice and taste/odor/color issues with tap water. Brought head lamps and nets so little one could catch ghost crabs on the beach at night. No glass allowed on beach. You can hear the waves at night even with windows closed. Folks camped on beach out front during day; not sure if from the neighborhood behind or bleed over from public beach. If you plan to set up pop up or chairs on the beach do so early to claim your space. Two loungers were available under home. Boogie boards available in storage; cracked so you may wish to bring your own. Nothing edible (not even spices) available. No bath or hair soap. Brought paper towels, extra toilet paper, kitchen trash bags and dryer sheets. Clothes & dish soap is provided. We precooked, froze & brought several meals, disposable plates, cups, bowls, serving ware, aluminum foil, parchment paper, charcoal, lighter fluid and it worked out well (and much, much cheaper) to buy food/drinks at home and bring with you. Plan ahead.

We love the location, close to the stores so you can easily walk or ride a golf cart to them. We go to Surfside every year, and always try to secure this house! Host is very responsive. Remodel looks FAB!!! Teenagers love the pool table!

Jennifer the host was AMAZING and the house was just perfect for what we were hoping for!! Highly recommend!!

Family had a great time and kids were able to play in front with no problem

Great for a birthday weekend!

We enjoyed the house… the location was perfect. We really appreciated the big kitchen and extra fridge. My only critique was that the VRBO listing showed a few extra photos that were not the actual house that we were staying in. The house was more than adequate for our stay…. Just that my husband had expectations based off of the pictures.

We went to this beach house and it was so fun! 2 families 6 kiddos and sooo much room plus just walk down the stairs and you are in the sand! We would definitly come back!

Great location, love love the beach right as you walk down the stairs. the house was clean, plenty of room, beautiful sunsets. I celebrated my 65th Bday. Wonderful time with my family. Only complaint the barbeque pits needs to be replaced.

Right on the beach! You’ll need to bring everything - no condiments, bar soap, etc. it’d be nice to have some of these items there plus a mornings worth of coffee. But overall excellent stay

This place has SO much potential. Best way for me to explain is a pros & cons list. Pros: - LOCATION! Can’t be beat. Literally step off the porch to the ocean. This made the whole trip worth it. - Beach is very clean and smooth. - Pool table and poker set kept us entertained every night. Big plus. - 3 bathrooms is nice. - Lots of cookware provided! - Plenty of room to spread out. - Loved that we were able to have our dogs with us. - Obvious improvements have been made, and appreciated. Cons: - Furniture throughout is really not good. Mattresses are thin and metal bed frames are very creaky. Couches in living room are cheap and not comfortable for lounging. Bar stools are flimsy. One was already broken. I’m sure furniture gets used and abused in rental properties, but oof this was a struggle. - Multiple lamps were old and broken and couldn’t be turned on. - We struggled with internet and TV’s all week. There was an outage for a couple days that couldn’t be helped, but even after it came back on, none of the bedroom TV’s ever worked. Host wanted us to call Dish to get it fixed. - Hot water only lasts for about 10 minutes, so we had to space out showers. It worked for 4 of us, but if you had more people that would be frustrating. - It was tricky hauling luggage up all the steps without a handrail. All in all, we had a good time, and the location makes the cons worth it. It’s so close to being the perfect place to stay. A few more improvements and it would be there!

This house is located right on the beach. It is quite wonderful to sit on the deck with the beach just a staircase away. We really enjoyed our time there.

As compared to other VRBO properties we’ve stayed at, I would classify the property as adequate, not luxurious. The TV in the master bedroom was not connected to the Internet so it was unusable. When I tried to read in bed, the switch on the bedside lamp was broken so I could not turn it on. The drinking water issues should have been noted in the original posting, not communicated after the reservation was made.

The view from the balcony is absolutely beautiful. The weather was nice. The walk on the beach was so relaxing. The home was comfortable. The layout of the home is spacious. The sights and sounds were what we were there for. The waves lulled us to sleep. The only negatives at the time of our stay was the living room needs a recliner, it’s not an area that you could lounge comfortably at night when you are winding down for the night the furniture is nice but it could be more relaxing furniture.The stove burners do not heat very well it took forever to scramble eggs. There is noise that comes from the second refrigerator, but it’s more noticeable at night it is a knocking sound that comes and goes all night. The outside stairs the ones that lead to the sand needs handrails. My husband had a hip replacement so the recliner and the railing was needed. He was using a walker at the time. The hand rails needs to be up to code. The owners did put in the contract that the thermostat for summer should not be below 80 degrees and winter shouldn’t be above 60 degrees. This was not an issue do to the time of year that we were there. But in cold winter and hot Texas summers that would be a major issue for us. I do want to say to the owners we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for graciously opening it up to strangers,you never know who you might get.We did take care of your beautiful home. We were careful with your home and made special memories. Thank you so much.

My family’s n I enjoy this place. U can’t get any closed to the water then this. The beach at our door step. When it at high tide the water at the bottom of the balcony. We didn’t catch any fish but we catch a beautiful view.

Spacious house in the perfect spot! While it could use some updates and more hand rails, the amount of rooms and bathrooms plus the ability to walk literally onto the sand and water from the deck, more than makes up for it. Host was accommodating and responsive!

This is a great place for families! We love that the property was on the beach, great for our kids. The property owner was very responsive. Will definitely go back again.

Beautiful waterfront location in Surfside! Very comfortable and clean, can’t wait to go back!

The house was nice and clean. The beds were a little hard. And bbq pit was not the same as the one in the picture. Overall the vacation was great. Everyone had a great time.

Very peaceful and quite this time of year. We were sorry we hadn't booked more days.

2nd time staying at this house. Fantastic location, you can't be any closer to the water. Jennifer is a wonderful owner, and is always available. I would text her with any questions i had. She's great. We will be back

This property had the perfect location. We have rented so many beach houses, and this one by far was the best. We had so much fun for weekend. It was sad to leave. My kids had the time of their lives. We hope to rent again in the future!

Great location, updated stairwell and landing much appreciated, very few issues, great value, family wanted to stay longer

could not sleep because the roofers came at 7:00 and want us to move our cars. Then they star removed the old roof and nails and shingle are everywhere. We have to leave early because of the unsafe environment. Should ask for a partial refund

This can’t be beat if you have small children.

Enjoyed our stay- will come again

Location was PERFECT! Right on the beach, plenty of amenities provided too. As a family, we had beds for all and room to play. Best week ever!

Will definitely stay at this house again. You are right on the beach. Plenty of room for our large family. Jennifer Li the property owner/ manager was always helpful and quick to respond to our needs.
