Location
Location was perfect! Right on the beach! The beach house is nice, a little outdated, & the bathtub definitely needs replaced, as you can tell the salt water has not been easy on it. The water smelted like sewage the whole time we were there. The WiFi/TV in the living room didn’t work half the time, but you’re at the beach! The views from the deck were beautiful! The amenities were nice! Overall, would stay here again!

Hello, beach!!
When they say, "steps from the beach", they MEAN steps from the beach! It was the perfect size and distance for me and my kiddos. It was a bit cold but they had a great time and that's all that matters! Looking forward to staying again.

Perfect location
Location was perfect and right on beach. Watching the sunrise in front of the condo. Walking distance to local Bar and Grill with outdoor amenities. Upstairs is best for December warm weather due to mosquitoes. Had a great time walking the beach and soaking up the sounds of the waves.

Fun Weekend
The description of the property is completely accurate. It is very clean and right on the pedestrian beach. As someone that likes to cook, the kitchen could be a little more equipped. Wine glasses are a must for any beach house. There’s not any place to put down your toiletry bags etc. The bathroom sure is big enough to add shelves of some sort. Or, a small piece of furniture with drawers. Communication was thorough and swift. If you want a great balcony to people watch and enjoy the gulf, this is your place. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Trish

As Described in Listing BUT...
The bed was very comfortable and the linens were nice and soft. The furnishings were basic - and we had no problem with that. Our only issue had to do with the water. The city water is terrible but we expected the owners would have a water softener or other type of treatment. It was difficult to shower as the water smelled and looked so bad - we smelled bad even after we showered! We have rented other properties in Surfside and all have treated the water so this was a surprise for us and we would not stay at this place again.

Great location
Had a really good time over all. There were only two minor complaints. At first I didn’t see the bbq grills mentioned, contacted management they told me where they were. They were the steel charcoal grills like you see in parks sometimes that were posted into the ground. They are both on one side of the building along the fence line. Convenient only if you are staying in the bottom level unit on that side of the building. Otherwise you are hiking up and down a ton of stairs every time a burger is ready. That’s fine if you are cooking for one or two people, but I had a friends and family in all three top floor units. I ended up buy a different grill to use while we were there. Second, the wifi mentioned is non-existent. I asked management about it because I couldn’t find the signal. they responded and told me that the instructions are in the information book. It’s in the book, (but so are instructions for a dishwasher that doesn’t exist) however the only two times we even saw the network show up it had zero signal and was unusable. One of the towels had a big circular kind of crusty brown stain on it. That wasn’t a huge deal, we just didn’t use that towel. There are also instructions on how to use the thermostat, however you don’t actually have control over it. Every time we changed the setting, it would change back after about 30-40 seconds. So it was a bit hot in the room at night. We’ve stayed in the building before when the Hotel down the street owned it, and that a little more pleasant. These issues could be addressed immediately by the night staff. When these issues were brought up this time I had to leave a message and/or send an email and wait a while for a response. The location is awesome, and if you like to stay in a room that’s a bit on the warm side, then I t’s perfectly fine. But for the price, we will likely just rent an actual beach house next time and not return to this location.
