Great location and spacious layout

Great spacious layout and canal was perfect to fit our 39’ boat. Had a great time and can’t wait to return. In my opinion, one of the best locations for larger groups in surfside that we have found.

Another Great Stay!

This house is perfect for our yearly extended family beach trip! This is the third time we stayed here. It has everything we need - kitchen amenities, plenty of beds for everyone, a huge table that we all can sit at together, boat dock, fire pit, etc. We always enjoy our stay.

Family Trip

The location was perfect. Being able to walk outside and fish off the dock was great. Plenty of space for our family. Stores close by and restaurants. We were also able to rent a golf cart. The only negative we had was how strong the sulfur smell was anytime we ran the water.

We loved this house

This rental was my first time using VRBO. I was fortunate to find such a beautiful home for my family to rent. The check-in & out process was easy. Communication with the owner was great! The house is gorgeous. We loved the layout and all the extras that were included. I would absolutely rent it again. I highly recommend this house if you are looking-I doubt you will be disappointed.

3 Generation Trip

This is our second stay in this house and we love it! So much room, everything you could need and very close to restaurants, bars and the beach. & if you don't feel like going out you can fish off the dock, play air hockey, ping pong or corn hole. We had ages ranging from 21 - 70 and there was something for everyone.

Great House, Lots of Room

We had a great time staying in this home! We were 8 adults and 1 baby. My brothers family who lives down the street came over and there was plenty of room for us to gather and visit in the big living and kitchen area. Nice deck and area on the canal. We definitely hope to stay here again! 😀

We loved it!

Pictures don’t do the place justice. It’s a gorgeous home with plenty of space. Great little fishing spot out back, and room to hang out with the family! We had children ranging from 2-11 and they stayed entertained the whole time. Not a far drive from the beach or store if you needed something. Overall it was perfect for us.

Yearly Fishing Trip

House has a lot of room. Could sleep close to 20 if needed! Kitchen was stocked with cooking utensils, plates, cups, coffee etc. Game area is very nice! Water pressure could have been a little better but overall a very nice house. We will be bringing the family down soon and will use this property again!

Perfect Weekend Getaway with family

Koko Karla was a WONDERFUL place to stay! The house was even better than the pictures. The house was perfectly appointed for our group of 11 to stay. Everyone had a nice bedroom to stay in, the house had enough living space for everyone to be together in one place when wanted and also in separate places when desired. We enjoyed being able to fish right off the back, while also being a quick trip over to the beach. The kids enjoyed playing air hockey and corn hole. It was comfortable and well cared for. It’s obvious Koko Karla is a place that is truly loved by it’s owners.

Super nice house

House was amazing. Enjoyed the big living room, kitchen, and dining table. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots/pans. Master bedroom/bathroom was huge. Could fit three cars under the house for parking (great caused it hailed while we were there) and the fire pit out back was a plus. Only negative things were we got the wrong lockbox code at check in and took 30 mins to get the correct code, and there was no extra toliet paper in the house. Ran out the first night and had to go buy some.

Perfect location - beach + fishing!

So much to do for our family holiday weekend! Comfortably slept 10 — adult couples got their own room and the kids loved the bunk bed room. The living room and kitchen are open, perfect for group conversations and memories made. The kiddos stayed busy with the ping pong and air hockey tables. We had a line in the water from the back porch most of the time. Caught an 18” inch trout on the property that we filleted right there on the dock table! Brought our own underwater fishing light, didn’t have much success. However, the neighbors across the canal have four gigantic above water fishing lights. When they turned those on, it lit up like a football field, and action increased. Also fished in the bay, pier, jetties and surf - all within 10 minutes from the house. Crazy convenient for the fishing enthusiasts, with many options. The bait shops are minutes away. We were on the beach during the day, which was just a few minutes away, just across the highway. So easy. Restaurants less than a mile as well. The location of this house is outstanding - no one will be bored if you’re looking for anything mentioned above. Have a great time!

Great Stay!

We came out to celebrate my husband's birthday as well as do some fishing and kayaking. The house is in great condition, we didn't have any issues with anything. Matt was tentative to my questions before check-in. Check-in and check-out were both super easy. There was plenty of space for everyone. Great location on the canal! We will definitely be back to this house.

Fall redfish trip

5 of us stayed in the house and had a great time. House was amazing! Spent every night out on the deck overlooking the canal and ocean. Our guide Mike Seagall from Reel Threel charters came and picked us up each day at the dock. That was a huge plus for us and the bull red fishing was great mike put us on the fish our entire trip. The house is close to anything you need and had more than enough supplies for us. Enjoyed cooking multiple nights on their grill. Give this house a look if you are going to take a trip you won't regret it. There is a "gameroom" upstairs if you have kids with a couple chairs and TV along with games if you have a family trip. Close to tge Beach if its that time of the year.
