The house was clean and had most things you need in the kitchen to cook. Super close to the beach, check in was easy. The bathrooms are not huge and the rooms do not have room darkening curtains, be aware for kiddos. I was worried about the mattresses, but we slept okay. There were lots of beach toys for the kids to use and some books & toys inside. Overall a good find that fit our needs for a long weekend getaway.

Second Wind is an awesome home and so close to the beach we could walk back and forth, which was great for bathroom breaks and meals, without having to pack everything up! It is very well provisioned with anything you could possibly need. There were 6 adults, 5 little ones (ages 4-9) in our group and there was plenty room for us. We would love to stay there again some day. Ashley and Eric are awesome to work with and quickly responded to all questions and concerns before and during our stay.

We loved our experience at Second Wind - check in was easy, the place was cute & easily fit our group of 12. It’s right by the beach. All linens and even beach towels were provided! 10/10

There was plenty of room for all 12 of us. Quick walk to the beach with ocean views from the deck. Quiet area and the beach wasn't over crowded. The house was well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. There was plenty of linens and towels. Everyone said their beds were comfortable and they rested well. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

The home is a bit older, but the property was clean and super close (easy walking distance) to the beach. Our only complaint is the mattresses are a bit worn and uncomfortable for old backs, but we’ve come to expect that in most rentals. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed the beach.

The property was everything it was advertised as. Location was perfect. Easy access to the beach. Bedrooms were a bit small but we were only in those to sleep in. Otherwise plenty of room. Recommended!

House was not what was expected. Grill was broken. Outside was poorly kept. Beach toys/items that were advertised were just a small pile of broken items. Mosquitoes were insane. Was literally told by owner/property manager that they usually warn guests about mosquitoes but since their previous guest didn’t say anything they didn’t mention it to us. This was after I made clear that I had a newborn. So information like that is a must. I live in east Texas so we are used to outdoors but this was insane and definitely not fit for an infant. They found no understanding in this whatsoever. I would recommend absolutely no one to this location.

Great location to the beach. Enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Awesome place, very clean and well stocked. Within just a few feet you are on the beach. We all enjoyed the property and stay.

The property was great. Great location. It had rained so we had to wade through some water on the trail to the beach. Would stay again but never on a Holiday weekend. Traffic was beyond belief. 40 minutes to get the last 6 miles to the house. Beach was over crowded. It was in second row of houses so able to sit on deck and see and hear the water when we were tired of dealing with people.

Nice house with short path to the beach. Only had one question, but property managers reached out and were accessible via email. Loved it and we would stay again. The only thing that could’ve been better was the weather!

This house is cozy, clean, and kid friendly. One nice feature is the outdoor shower has hot water. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. The beach is a drive-on beach so we had to watch out for cars since we have small kids. We had a great time. The management team is helpful and responsive. Thank you for a great vacation.

We had a pleasant time at the place. Well located, close to the beach.

House had everything we needed. Walkway and drive over to the beach was very convenient.

This property was exactly as described. Clean, plenty of space and well stocked. The owner was very responsive. My family really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect as well. I would recommend this property.

First time to stay in Surfside and this property did not disappoint. Two families with children under 5. View of the ocean and steps from a path to the beach. Lots of beach toys to use and having 4 bedrooms was a plus. The beach in front of the house is permit only, so plan to purchase a $12 permit if you want to drive your car on the beach. Also, plan to bring your own drinking water. Great hostess & location and very clean.

Property was very clean and spacious. We loved the outdoor shower and abundance of beach toys. Plenty of movies and books to choose from for those rainy days and or late nights. We stayed during the week and the town is relatively quiet which was exactly what we needed. The house is footsteps away from the beach and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Terri for sharing your lovely home.

It was so nice to be just a short walk away from the beach. The porch was our favorite spot to hang out.

The property was well stocked and very clean. A great short walk to the beach. We are already planning on trying to come back. This is the best house and a great town.

We had an excellent stay at this Beach House! It was very comfortable and everything that we needed was in place. Nice view of the beach and Gulf! Easy walk on to a very nice beach! Our Host, Terri, provided us excellent support for every request. Very nice accommodations!

We flew in from South Carolina to visit wife's family. Found this home on vrbo and we was not disappointed at all. The house is spotless. The decor is beautiful inside the home.The view is amazing. It's second row house,but more like a first row house.Nice area under the house to grill out or just relax. Always a wonderful breeze blowing from the gulf. Kitchen is well stocked. Internet works fine. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be staying again when we return.

Very beautiful place, for relaxing and spending time with family.

Fabulous for families w/ little children! Walking distance of the beach! Owner is easily accessible and responds timely! Great family vacay place!

We stayed here for 3 nights and wished we could stay a little longer. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The price was well within my budget. We will definitely stay here again.

Terri is great to work with; very responsive and accommodating! The house was perfect for what we wanted. Layout was nice because you couldn't hear anything if you wanted to sleep early and others stayed up. Neighbors were super friendly as well. Loved that there was parking under the house-made coming and going easy. Overall this was exactly what we wanted and will definitely book here again!

We stayed here for 4 nights and loved it. Excellent view and location. The house was very well stocked and even had plenty of games and toys to keep the kids entertained when we were not at the beach. I will definitely be getting this house again it is available the next time we go to Surfside.

We loved our stay at Second Wind! It was the perfect size for 2 families and everything was clean and looked new. The beach toys were a huge plus! It was so nice to be able to just walk down to the beach whenever we wanted. The beach was great and on the weekdays we had it practically to ourselves! We would definitely return to Surfside and book at Second Wind again if we have the opportunity!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house had a great view of the beach and we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings. The beach is walking distance and the water was perfect. We did go on Memorial Day weekend and that day was super crowded but it was great that we could walk to the house when we needed. Terri was very responsive on anything we needed. We would definitely recommend.

The outdoor shower and picnic table in the shade under the house, as well as the huge bin of sand toys and fast, easy access to the wide, flat, un-crowded beach, made it a perfect place to take our young kids. When we went in May, the ocean was warm and shallow, only coming up to our knees for several yards out from the water’s edge, and the waves were gentle, which was perfect for our young non-swimmers. The house is not super-new or high-end, but was clean and comfortable and has plenty of space. The owner was flexible and very responsive to questions. I highly recommend this place to anyone taking a vacation with kids!

This is not a family friendly or clean property. It smelled of cigarette smoke when we entered and my 4 year old found confetti in the shape of male private parts within minutes of arriving. After several lies the owner admitted there was a renter a few weeks (later she said months) ago that had a party and smoked inside. She said it was thoroughly cleaned after but if that’s true how did my 4 year old find the confetti and why did it still smell so badly (this is coming from someone with a horrible sense of smell). Also, this is listed as non smoking but we found a used ash tray on the property. The comforters and pillows smelled of mildew and/or urine. After spending 4 hours trying to air out/clean the property and salvage our weekend getaway, we came to the conclusion we could not stay there. My husband and I and our 2 daughters could barely stomach being inside. I would have rather stayed at a motel. This house needs a deep cleaning and completely new bedding. We have rented several houses over the years and have never had a bad experience or complaint. The owner insisted nothing was wrong and would only refund me a quarter of what I paid, despite telling me before we left that she would refund me all but one nights stay. I have filed a formal complaint with HomeAway since the owner is not working with me at all. She has blatantly lied to me several times and does not think I had any reason to leave. Any person in their right mind would leave after smelling what we did. This house is absolutely disgusting and the owner is completely unhelpful. Please save yourself the trouble and money and find another house to stay at. I wish someone would have posted an honest review before we booked this rental.

This spacious beach house was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed, including an ocean view! We loved the charming floor plan and decor. It was the perfect getaway for my husband and me to enjoy some rest and relaxation. The main tv had 100 alphabetized, recorded movies for our selection, and my husband enjoyed reading one of the many books that were available. Our dear friends stayed with us on our third night, and we enjoyed playing games around the dining table and eating popcorn. This cozy beach house made us feel right at home, and we highly recommend it!

We had a fantastic weekend getaway with friends and family for our daughters birthday. The house was amazing and it was supplied with basically everything you could imagine you would need! The beach was literally yards away and the view was perfect. The homeowner was so accommodating and we would love to be able to stay again.
