Great access to beach.

We had a great stay at this location. The beach is right there, and tends to be very quiet in the mornings and evenings. The restaurants in the area i'd recommend are the seahorse grill and dorado's. Highly recommend booking this place. Great hosts accomodated us. Would book again.

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!

Great Family Getaway!

This place is perfect for families. The location was perfect, quite, and relaxing. The house had everything we needed, and enough rooms, beds, and space for our group (adults, kids, and pets). There were plenty of activities for everyone. Kat was a wonderful host! We will definitely be coming back.

Great family beach vacation

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.

PERFECT Location!

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!

Mini-Family Reunion

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 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!).

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!!!

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.

Comfortable and close to the beach

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.
