The rooms were nice, beach access was great. ( bringing our beach wagon to the beach was a struggle however ) I have been in smaller bathrooms and showers before, but I can’t remember when….The bed was very comfortable, and the linen was great. Overall a very pleasant stay. Both Amber and January were very pleasant and professional.ThanksDoug and Sharon

You cannot beat this condo for beach access. The sand was literally at the bottom of the stairs. The unit was clean and had the basics that you need. Perfect for a no frills get away. You definitely need to bring drinking water, the tapwater has a very distinct odor.

We wish there was a key pad on the door. You could not leave to go walking early in the morning when there was only One key with a dead bolt door and the other was still asleep. There was also no hot water. But we love the location and the beach.

We have had 3 previous stays in Surfside, but this place is our absolute favorite. I spent almost every minute of each day either on the beach or on one of the decks so I could absorb the sounds of the surf and the wind, and even the thunderstorms. From the front door we could relax and watch the dolphins play, and wade and swim and relax on the beach just a few steps further away. Even the dog had a great time. Perfect! We'll be back.

We stayed in the same unit opposite side last year. As expected it’s what we wanted. Simple, beach access, and mostly quiet. A week of relaxing, running on the beach, swimming in the gulf and reading books. My ideal getaway for me and my wife during our anniversary.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The condo was cute and comfortable and as advertised. I loved being able to walk out the front door and either sit on the front deck and watch the waves or walk right down to the beach and play in the ocean.

We loved our stay
Our accommodation was clean and neat. The process from booking, staying and checking out was easy and streamlined. Thank you for the lovely vacation. The stove/oven was faulty during our stay, so we battled to use it. There needs to be a little maintenance done around the property.

Nice cabin in. 4-plex, great outdoor area, great beach front, very clean, only complaint was living room sofa, very uncomfortable, almost Hobbit furniture, no way anyone could sleep on it, we could hardly sit on it! Otherwise the place is roomy, comfortable, perfect for 2 people

Neighbors Dogs
Want you to know the refrigerator make a very loud screeching sound when the compressor kicks in. The couch is uncomfortable and not sturdy. The tenants above us left their howling dog alone for several hours of the day and night and sounded like it was tearing things up. It was an irritation to say the least.

Bday trip
Loved the place we stayed at. The accommodations were perfect for us. I missed not having clothes hangers but I understand why there weren’t any. The rental guide was very helpful. We only had 2 negatives. #1, we couldn’t figure out how to find the local news or regular TV programming. #2, The sofa futon was not comfortable at all . We had to bring in the outdoor chairs to get comfortable seating. Otherwise, everything else was great.

Would NOT stay here again !!
Pros: Location (on beach), fluffy white bath towels, new paint
Cons: (abbreviated list)
1. Was overcharged and VRBO had to get 949 properties to understand. 949 refunded overcharge.
2. At arrival, no water due to broken pipe. No heads up from 949.
3. Mold on inside of refrig. 949 said "probably rust, but we can send housekeeping tomorrow." Hskpng came the next day with bleach and got rid of the mold.
4. Shower wouldn't turn off. Water ran for 4 hrs waiting for plumber. Plumber fixed, but didn't have a replacement handle, so we went without for the rest of the trip.
5. Futon is laughable as a sleeping spot. I am 5' 2" and was the only one in our group who could fit (others are over 6ft). It was tremendously uncomfortable. Bring an air mattress. Saw where 949 said to another reviewer that they agreed it was uncomfortable, but that's all that fit in the space. Not true. Plenty of room.
6. Hairdryer had broken plastic- not sure if it's safe.
7. Rust all over the top and sides of refrig. None on front. I know things rust faster in humid environments, but something is fishy there.
8. Shower is TINY. Like not even 3' wide x 3' deep. Even a bar of soap was too big for the "shelves" in the shower.
9. No bathmat- just a wooden structure that allows the water to drain. Unfortunately, in a bathroom, there isn't anywhere for the water to go except on the floor.
10. w/d are in community area that is supposed to require a code to access but lock didn't work.

Property was well located, right on the beach, easy golf cart ride, car ride, or walk to local eateries. Quiet neighbors. Sofa/futon wasn’t very comfortable to sleep on, but manageable for 3 nights.
